Free French Verb Book Pouvoir Reading and Writing Unit

Free French Verb Book Pouvoir
 Reading and Writing Unit



Are you trying to teach the French verb pouvoir to your learners? Then this free printable unit is just the place to begin! With everything you need to teach the verb, its meaning, and how to use it in the present tense!

Teaching French verbs may seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. These units keep it simple with fun books, simple writing exercises, and conjugation sheets for older learners too.


Free French Verb Book 

All of these units contain a similar French verb book that uses the verb in present-tense sentences. It's a great way to introduce the verb with colorful illustrations (a black and white version is also included) as sentences that most beginners can read.

These books can also be used as dictation sentences to practice the verb. After learning these sentences, you could even have students make their own sentences, replacing the subject and adding a verb of their choice to the sentence. 


French Flashcards and Writing Sheets

Having plenty of practice with verb conjugation is important for all ages and stages of learning language. But it doesn't have to be boring! These units come with fun illustrated writing prompts for younger learners, and easy cut-and-paste journal prompts for older learners.


Conjugating Pouvoir Practice

Older learners who are being taught this lesson will benefit from the included conjugation pages. These are great for practicing the verb in any tense. They include conjugation practice as well as a place for students to write their own sentences and illustrate them to show understanding.

We often use these as unit tests for our younger learners, but older learners could benefit from using a different tense every day of the week. It's also a great way for students to make a verb dictionary of all the conjugations they have learned that they can refer to when writing.

Free French Verb Book Vouloir (to want) and Writing Unit

Free French Verb Book Vouloir (to want) 



This new Free French verb unit will teach kids all about using the verb vouloir, which means to want. 
It includes writing and reading or the present tense, as well as conjugation practice for your older learners.


Verb Books to see the verb in use

All of these units feature a mini book showing the verb unit being used with different pronouns (Je, tu, il, elle, nous, vous, ils, elles) and different activities. It's a great way to introduce the verb and have students practice using it in sentences. It could also be used as a dictation exercise while learning the verb.

I like to start a new verb unit by reading the book together on Monday, then having my kids read it on their own. We then go over what every sentence means and talk about how the verb changes in the present tense. During the week we use the sentences as dictation practice (I read them out loud and they write them down), then I'll have them use the conjugation sheet as a test at the end of the week.


Writing Prompts

Besides just writing the verb down over and over again, a very important part of learning to use the verbs comes with using them in actual sentences. That's why these units contain different prompts for different ages and levels. They're very simple and in the present tense, but give your learners a chance to use the verb to speak about themselves or someone else.


Conjugation Practice & Flashcards

As I said above I like to use these sheets as weekly tests for my younger learners. The conjugation sheets can be used for any tense as they have a blank line for you to fill in or have your learners fill in to show which tense to use.

The sheets have a place for students to practice conjugating, write a sentence using the verb, and illustrate their sentences to show their understanding.

Units also have a set of flashcards showing the verb in the present tense.
