Lesson outcome

I can use the present and perfect tenses, including negation and questions to talk about significant events in French history.

Show transcript
[tion] is pronounced as in 'attention' [tion] words are always feminine. Form the perfect tense by combining part of 'avoir' and a past participle. -er verb past participles change from -er to é, verbs like prendre change to 'pris' and some participles are irregular. 'Ne ...pas' wraps around part of 'avoir' in the perfect tense to make negative sentences. Ask intonation questions in the perfect tense by raising your voice. You can also add 'est-ce que' before the subject.
