The Building Blocks of the French Language
At the beginning of Year 7, students are exposed to basic grammar of key irregular verbs, adjective agreement and present tense, through the All About Me topic. They then expand their vocabulary and develop their grammatical knowledge in the School topic, where they also learn to express and
justify opinions, tell the time and talk about food. In the Free Time Activities topic, we revisit the present tense of key regular and irregular verbs through the context of technology, sport and hobbies. Students then learn to describe where they live, and use a wide range of irregular verbs to talk about where they go in their town, what they want to do at the weekend and what they can do in their local area. By the end of Year 7, students have built on prior knowledge from previous topics, learnt to develop their basic sentences into extended sentences, and laid the foundation for Year 8.
