The Perfect. Tense LEARNING OBJECTIVES: This powerpoint will teach you how: • To form the Perfect tense • To use the Perfect tense • To improve the quality of your Perfect sentences
The PERFECT Tense The Perfect tense is used to talk about what you : DID or HAVE DONE
The PERFECT Tense Foundation All you need is: J’ai / Je suis + Past Participle You can think of it as a formula like you use in Maths: J’ai / Je suis + Past Participle = Perfect. Tense
The PERFECT Tense What is a Past Participle? • A Past Participle is a particular form of the verb (meaning what it was you did) • A Past Participle is not the verb you will find in the dictionary – that is the INFINITIVE. • The ENDING of the Past Participle depends on what the infinitive ends in (ER, IR, RE)
The PERFECT Tense Examples ER IR RE JOUÉ FINI VENDU = played = finished = sold
The PERFECT Tense J’ai / je suis+ Past Participle = Perfect. Tense J’ai préparé le dîner I prepared dinner J’ai étudié le français I studied French Je suis arrivé(e) en retard I arrived late J’ai joué au hockey I played hockey J’ai écouté de la musique I listened to music Je suis allé(e) au collège I went to school Je suis arrivé(e) chez moi I arrived home Je suis sorti(e) avec mes amies I went out with my friends
The PERFECT Tense IMPROVE YOUR WORK There are three ways to improve your Perfect sentences : 1 ADVERBS OF TIME Say when you do something by starting your sentences with one of the following adverbs of time : Hier - Yesterday L’été dernier - Last summer Le week-end dernier - Last weekend vendredi dernier - Last Friday
The PERFECT Tense So, let’s use some of the earlier examples of the Perfect Tense together with an adverb of time & frequency to improve our Perfect sentences vendredi dernier J’ai préparé le dîner Last Friday I prepared dinner L’été dernier j’ai étudié le français Last summer I studied French Le week-end dernier J’ai fini les devoirs Last weekend I finished my homework Hier je suis allé(e) au collège Yesterday I went to school Examples
The PERFECT Tense IMPROVE YOUR WORK 2 TALK ABOUT A DIFFERENT PERSON Talk about somebody else (your sister, your friend, etc) by changing ‘J’ai’ and ‘Je suis’ You will need to know the verbs avoir – to have être – to be
The PERFECT Tense Higher To gain more marks, you need to be able to talk about other people. most verbs take AVOIR as the auxiliary verb J’ai joué - I played Tu as joué - You (singular) played Il / elle /on a joué - He / she / one played Nous avons joué - We played Vous avez joué - You (plural) played Ils / elles ont joué - They played
The PERFECT Tense Higher To gain more marks, you need to be able to talk about other people. but a few take ÊTRE as the auxiliary verb Je suis allé(e) - I went Tu es allé(e) - You (singular) went Il / est / on est allé - He / she / one went Nous sommes allé(e)s - We went Vous êtes allé(e)(s) - You (plural) went Ils / elles sont allé(e)s - They went
ÊTRE or AVOIR?
Q: So how do you know when to use ÊTRE or AVOIR ? A: In general…… ÊTRE is used with verbs involving movement AVOIR is used for all other verbs
To help you remember which verbs take ÊTRE Use the mnemonic “MRS VANDERTRAMP” Montée – went up Entrée – went in Restée - stayed Retournée – went back Sortie – went out Tombée - fell Venue - came Rentrée – went home Allée - went Arrivée - arrived Née – was born Morte - died Descendue – went down Partie - left
ÊTRE verbs are like adjectives – they have to AGREE i. e. add e if feminine, add s if plural. All the past participles on the previous slide have already had an e added, as you are all girls!
The PERFECT Tense So, let’s use some of the earlier sentences and change ‘j’ai’ and ‘je suis’ to a different person to improve our Perfect sentences il a j’ai préparé le dîner vendredi dernier Last Friday L’ été dernier he prepared dinner nous avonsj’ai étudié le français Last summer we studied French Le week-end dernier Last weekend Hier Yesterday Examples elle a j’ai fini les devoirs she finished her homework je suis allée au collège tu es you went to school
The PERFECT Tense IMPROVE YOUR WORK 3 SAY WHY YOU ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING You will need to use POUR + infinitive = in order to…. . **In English we can just say ‘to’ instead of saying ‘in order to’ but in French if you do not say ‘pour’ then the sentence is incomplete**
The PERFECT Tense IMPROVE YOUR LANGUAGE POUR + infinitive = IN ORDER TO. . . 1. Je suis allée en ville pour acheter une chemise 1. I went to town in order to buy a blouse 2. Je suis allée au cinéma pour voir le nouveau Twilight 2. I went to the cinema in order to see the new Twilight film 3. Je suis allée à la gare pour retrouver mes copines 3. I went to the station in order to meet my friends
The PERFECT Tense Can you put this all together? 1 + 2 + 3 Say when Different person Say why To make a HIGHER LEVEL sentence
The PERFECT Tense 2 Different person Higher 3 Why 1 When Hier elle est allée en ville pour visiter le musée de Liverpool Yesterday she went to town in order to visit the Museum of Liverpool
The PERFECT Tense More practise Can you translate the following sentences into English? Hier il est allé au stade pour voir un match de foot Yesterday he went to the stadium in order to watch a football match Vendredi dernier nous sommes allées au restaurant Nando’s pour fêter l’anniversaire de ma copine Last Friday we went to Nando’s restaurant in order to celebrate my friend’s birthday Le week-end dernier ils sont allés en ville pour faire du tourisme Last weekend they went to town in order to see the sights
