Revision tips
Look, say, cover, write, check.

Learn this French words as you would your English spellings. Use the 5 steps below to learn how to spell
any word.

        1. LOOK – Look carefully at the word for at least 10 seconds.

        2. SAY – Say the word to yourself or out loud to practise pronunciations.

        3. COVER – Cover up the word when you feel that you have learned it.

        4. WRITE – Write the word from memory.

        5. CHECK – Check the word against the original. Did you get it right? If not, what did you get wrong?
           Spend time learning that bit of the word again. Try again until you get it right.

French                   English        1st attempt    2nd attempt      3rd attempt

Un pantalon (m)          Trousers

Un short (m)             Shorts

Un chapeau (m)           A hat

Un manteau (m)           A coat

Un tee-shirt (m)         A t-shirt

Un pull (m)              A jumper

Une chemise (f)          A shirt

Une jupe (f)             A skirt

Une robe (f)             A dress

des chaussettes (fpl)    Some socks

des chaussures (fpl)     Some shoes

des bottes (fpl)         Some boots

des lunettes (fpl)       Some glasses

                     m = masculine f = feminine fpl = feminine plural

                       Je porte      = I wear or I’m wearing
                        Tu portes    = you wear or    you’re wearing
                       Il/elle porte = He/ she wears or He/she is wearing

   1. He’s wearing a hat ________________________________________________

   2. I’m wearing a shirt ________________________________________________

   3. She’s wearing some shoes ___________________________________________

   4. You’re wearing a skirt and a coat ______________________________________

                              LES COULEURS

E.g.
         • Une chemise = feminine and singular. We will therefore only use
           colours from the Feminine column.

       A white shirt = une chemise BLANCHE.

         • Un pantalon = masculine and singular. We will therefore only use
           colours from the Masculine column.

            A blue pair of trousers = un pantalon BLEU.

5
Have a go at translating the following:
     1. I’m wearing a green pair of shorts.

        _____________________________________________

     2. She’s wearing a grey hat.

        _____________________________________________

     3. He’s wearing a pink and yellow jumper.

        _____________________________________________

     4. She’s wearing a red and white dress.

        _____________________________________________

Now, if you’re talking about MORE THAN ONE ITEM, you use the plural column.

In this exam you will only need to know the feminine plural colours.

   I’m wearing some green boots = je porte des bottes vertes.

  1. I’m wearing some purple socks .

     _____________________________________________

  2. She’s wearing some white shoes.

     _____________________________________________

  3. You’re wearing some blue and green boots.

     ___________________________________

  Now draw a few garments of clothes on these bodies and try to
                describe what they’re wearing!

______________________             ______________________
______________________             ______________________

C’est….               it’s…
                                                  To extend yourself :
                                                 Add these opinions about
                                             the clothes.

démodé                old-fashioned

marrant               funny

à la mode             fashionable

chic                  stylish

Crack the code! (pssst..! look at the first letters of the words above!…)

  1. C R =        ______________________________________

  2. C A L M = ______________________________________

  3. C M E D = ______________________________________

    If you want to add a size – again it must agree with the
                             noun.
                       It goes before the noun.
                              M= grand grands
                          F = grande grandes

Circle the correct adjective (s):

  1. Une grand / grande chemise.

  2. Des petites / petits chaussures.

  3. Un petit/petite pantalon bleu/bleue.

  4. Je porte des grandes/grands bottes vertes/verts et un

     petite/petit chapeau gris/grise.

When adding an opinion about something, you need to remember to add the
correct version of the word ‘THE’. These are in brackets after the words above.

                                                           But =
                                                           mais

So, if I use the opinion words above and the info in the table:

I love cabbage - J’adore + le chou ☺ simples!

I hate onions = Je déteste + les oignons

I don’t like cauliflower = Je n’aime pas + ___ ___________?

  1. I love peaches = ___________________________________

  2. I hate apples but I love bananas! = _____________________

  3. I don’t like raspberries and pears = ______________________

  4.          cabbage = _________________________________

  6. __________________________________________________

What will be in the exam ?
The exam will mostly focus on what we have covered since Christmas.

BUT! You will also be asked to write a small text about you as well. Think about all the things you know
how to say :

    •   Your name

    •   How you are feeling

    •   What you’re wearing

    •   How old you are

    •   When your birthday is

    •   What food you like/dislike

Here is an example:

Bonjour Emilie,

Ça va très bien merci, et toi? Je m’appelle Benjamin et j’ai neuf ans. Mon
anniversaire, c’est le premier septembre. Je porte une chemise blanche et un
pantalon bleu. Aussi je porte un chapeau vert et jaune avec des chaussures
nores. J’aime les pommes mais je déteste le chou-fleur !

Au revoir,

Benjamin.
