Goals

The Grammar Course (written and oral) I at the A2 target level allows learners to work on grammar points corresponding to the A2 level content of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

The course is primarily based on practical exercises following explanations of the grammar rules. It aims to provide both written and oral exercises to be done individually, in pairs, or in groups.

For each grammar point, there are:

  • A grammar sheet containing the essential points of the grammar rule, providing simple explanations with concrete examples, offering advice, strategies, and remarks on the French language in context.

  • Gender of objects and concepts
  • Interrogation (open questions: response with yes or no)

  • Interrogation about a person or thing / Who? What? Which? / What are?
  • Countries/cities/regions/continents: Gender and preposition + nationalities (spatial situation)
  • Adjective / masculine and feminine / plural / special cases
