Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can use the perfect tense, including past participles like 'sorti' and 'choisi' in the context of the Vichy regime in the 1940s.

Show transcript
[ain/in] is pronounced as in 'train' and [aim/im] is pronounced as in 'faim'. The nasal sounds [aim/im] and [ain/in] become non-nasal sounds when they come before a vowel. During WW2, after Paris was captured by Germany, France was divided into different zones. Use the perfect tense to talk about past specific/one-off events/actions. Use part of 'avoir/être' + a past participle. The past participles of verbs like 'sortir' and 'choisir' both end in -i. To form, remove -r from the infinitive form.
