Le passé composé

Year 8 and 10 have been working on le "Passé-Composé.  During the lessons, I have used the following Powerpoints which I acquired from another on MFL resources forum a few years ago.  I do not know the author but would like to thank him or her.  The Powerpoints are easy to follow and should help you undestand / revise

1.  Passé Composé-  avec avoir (Perfect tense using to have)
2.  Passé Composé-  avec être (Perfect tense using to be)

You can also get a lot of help from The languages on line website-  choose French and then scroll down to Grammar and do the exercises on Perfect tense.

In class, we have been listening to "Les bêtises by Bébé Lily"-  this is the story of a little girl who gets up to a lot of mischief when her parents are out

 

 Practise some the sentences from the song on this Task magic exercise :Download Bebe lily You will need to download the home version if you want to use it from home.
