Year 11 French REVISION by Sarah Kate Towlson

Year 11 French REVISION by Sarah Kate Towlson https://padlet.com/stowlson/stqa5ze9z01w1z8t en-us 2023-02-08 09:48:34 UTC 2025-10-20 14:02:45 UTC hello@padlet.com Module 1: Qui suis-je? https://padlet.com/stowlson/stqa5ze9z01w1z8t/wish/2473153626 For the 4 tenses I recommend using https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z8hcng8 to understand. There are many different videos and notes for each tense you want to learn and some questions to test yourself which I think are very useful when you repeat doing one set of question every day or so.

If you don't understand any words and you really need to use a translator, do not use google translate because they are sometimes not put in the right order in the sentence. So because of this disadvantage using google translator, i suggest using https://www.collinsdictionary.com/translator because it is an actual dictionary giving you the meaning of the word and some examples in the correct order.

Now that we got rid of the understanding and grammar, we can focus on specific words and phrases you can use for this specific module that will earn you the higher 8 and 9 grades.
