About this resource

What's inside this resource

Introduction:

If you’re teaching French grammar and your students are having a hard time understanding how to use the futur proche (aller + infinitive), this resource was made to give them extra practice in a simple and clear way.

The goal here is to give them enough repetition so they feel more confident using the near future in French.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Conjugate the verb aller correctly for each subject pronoun (je, tu, il/elle/on, nous, vous, ils/elles).
Build a complete futur proche sentence (aller + infinitive) from a given verb and subject.
Reorder scrambled words into a grammatically correct futur proche sentence.
Rewrite an affirmative futur proche sentence in the negative form (ne...pas).

Teaching tips

Work through the six sections in order, since each builds on the previous one, moving from recognizing the correct form of aller to producing original negative-form sentences.
Use exercise 5 (negative form) as a checkpoint, since it requires students to correctly conjugate aller and correctly place ne...pas around it.
Assign exercise 6 as a quick formative check, since students choose their own verb and the answer key notes that answers may vary.
