In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students form comparatives and superlatives of superiority in French using plus...que and le/la/les plus.

  • Students form comparatives of equality in French using aussi...que and autant de/que.

  • Students distinguish when to use de versus que after autant/plus, depending on whether the comparison follows a noun quantity or an adjective/adverb.

Teaching tips

  • Review the difference between plus de + noun and plus...que + adjective before starting, since both exercises test blanks requiring de and que in different grammatical roles (page 1).

  • Use the completed 'Corrigés' page for self-correction or as a teacher answer reference (page 2).

  • Assign Exercise 1 and Exercise 2 as two shorter practice sets — superiority comparatives first, then equality comparatives — rather than one long worksheet.

Skills covered

  • Comparative/superlative formation — students insert plus...que, le/la/les plus, or plus de into ten French sentences (page 1, Exercise 1).

  • Comparative of equality — students insert aussi...que or autant de/que into ten French sentences (page 1, Exercise 2).

  • De versus que distinction — students choose between de (before a noun quantity) and que (before a comparison term) based on sentence structure.
