This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
In this unit, pupils consolidate and extend their knowledge of numbers from 32-69 and use the impersonal verb 'il est' to tell the time. Avoir and être are revisited to talk about feelings and states. Knowledge of question forms and present and perfect tenses is deepened in writing and speaking.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to describe daily routine and tell the time in French to say when you do activities.
Key Notes
- [en/an] is pronounced as in 'enfant'.
- [ain/in] is pronounced as in 'train'.
- Numbers 17-69 are made up of a combination of numbers. Add 'et' before 'un' and a hyphen between other numbers.
- To ask what time it is in French, say 'Quelle heure est-il ?' To say at what time something happens, we use 'à'
- To tell the time, use impersonal verb 'il est' + number + heure(s) + minutes. The 24-hour clock is used more in French.
Vocabulary To Learn
- [en/an]: pronounced as in 'enfant'
- [ain/in]: pronounced as in 'train'
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Knowing the lower numbers is enough to be able to tell the time in French.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain what you can now say or understand in this lesson.
[en/an] is pronounced as in 'enfant'. [ain/in] is pronounced as in 'train'.
2. Define this key language word and use it in context. '[en/an]'
pronounced as in 'enfant'. Say or write it in a short sentence so you use the word actively.
3. Correct this common language-learning mistake.
Mistake: Knowing the lower numbers is enough to be able to tell the time in French. Correction: As French uses 24-hour clock more than English and gives the minutes after the hour, you need to know numbers 1-59 well.
