Passé simple - 28 CÀT / Past simple French grammar

Conjugate regular -er, -ir and -re verbs in the passé simple across all six grammatical persons

Form the passé simple of high-frequency irregulars, including être (fûmes), avoir (eûmes), prendre (pris), écrire (écrivîtes), lire (lut), voir (vîmes) and courir (courûmes)

Rewrite a complete French sentence with the bracketed infinitive replaced by its conjugated passé simple form

Cut pages 1-7 along the four-per-page grid; the printed numbers 1 to 28 keep a scoot or centre rotation in sequence without re-sorting the deck

Hand out the first «Je réponds» sheet with cards 1-14 and the second with cards 15-28, which splits the deck into two equal sittings

The corrigé prints each sentence complete rather than the verb alone, so it doubles as a short model text for reading the passé simple aloud

Passé simple formation — students convert a bracketed infinitive into its passé simple form inside a written French sentence on each of the twenty-eight cards.

Irregular verb recall — the deck includes être, avoir, prendre, écrire, lire, voir and courir alongside regular patterns.

Independent answer recording — students write their answers on the numbered «Je réponds» sheets and check them against the corrigé's completed sentences.
