Instructions: Create a paragraph of French using the past tense. You can take the first
part ‘Ce week-end’ and then continue the sentence by using something from each
column; perhaps plan it in English using the translation in the brackets underneath, and
then translate into French. I would suggest 2-3 sentences.
When would we use the past tense?

the past tense?What is an infinitive?
Instructions:
Make a mind-map of when you would use the past tense in English e.g. I played, I spoke
Look up on the internet what an ‘infinitive’ is

The KS3 French Language Challenge:
My challenge to you, whilst we are not in-school, is
to complete as many of the activities from the
challenge sheet below as you can. The top ten
pupils from KS3, who complete the most and can
show evidence (think about how you can keep a log
of these and where), will receive a prize from Mr
Purslow when we are back in school!!
Bonne Chance!! (Good Luck!!)
Coronavirus in France
Look at what French people are being advised to do regarding the Coronavirus;
it is split into three areas. Please look at this with your parent/guardian/carer
and see how many things they have been told are the same as us here in the
UK:What are the
symptoms? What is the virus?
How can we prevent it?
