  1. The Perfect Tense in 20 minutesThe Perfect Tense RevolutionBy NoredineCharefMFL Teacher at Dubai British School

  2. The common approach • Sequence 1: Perfect tense with avoir (regular verbs) • Sequence 2: Perfect tense with avoir (irregular verbs) • Sequence 3: Perfect tense with être(Mrs Vandertramp verbs) • Sequence 4: Perfect tense with être (focus on the past participle agreement) • Sequence 5: The perfect tense with avoir and être: recap lesson(s) NB: There are hundreds of resources on each of the sequences above on youtube, the tes…but they never approach them all together in one lesson.

  3. Why is the common approach wrong?? • Too many sequences!!!! • Core elements taught seperately! • High level of confusion when bringing the perfect tense together eventually…

  4. Reason 1:teachers deal with avoirseperately!

  5. mmon mistakes then? Plenary on avoir avoirverbsonly J’aiarrivé / je suismangé

  6. Starter : onlyfocuses on avoir verbs ….thiswill lead to confusion

  7. Again avoir verbs only!!participles…

  8. No past participle argreement with être verbs! • when us • ingthe être verbs in the past. Ellessontparti They forget to make the past participle agree

  9. What is The Perfect Tense Revolution? • All sequences must be visually accessible to pupils on the first lesson onwards! Everything starts with one question from which the learner will take a series of decisions. • No more teachers’ translation of “avoir” as to have when it is used as an auxiliary in a sentence in the past such as : J’aimangé this could have disastrous consequences with the new GCSE French in 2016 as translation. • Following lessons should dwell on sentence extensions/ negative and reflexive verbs…

  10. Key question: Is the verb I want to use part of the rainbow verb list below? (aka Mrsvandertramp verbs) THE PERFECT TENSE +MRS VAN DER TRAMP These verbs take être Mourir (to die) - mort Retourner (to return) – retourné Sortir (to go out) - sortir Venir (to come) - venu Arriver (to arrive) - arrivé Naître (to be born) - né Descendre (to go down) - descenduEntrer (to enter) - entré Rentrer (to return) - rentré Tomber (to fall) - tombé Rester (to stay) - resté Aller (to go) - allé Monter (to go up) - monté Partir (to leave) - parti DON’T FORGET to make the Past Participle agree with the subject (who is doing the action) if it goes with être. For feminine, add an extra E For masculin plural, add an S For feminine plural, add ES Eg. Elle est allée Nous sommes allé(e)s Ils sont allés Auxiliary avoir J’ai Tu as Il/elle a Nous avons Vous avez Ils/elles ont Auxiliary etre Je suis Tues Il/elleest Nous sommes Vousetes Ils/ellessont Is the vb you want to use IRREGULAR ?
