About this unit

This unit enables pupils to consolidate their knowledge of 'likes and dislikes', focusing in particular on use of the definite article with food. They learn about quantities and plan recipes. The unit also provides a brief initial presentation of the perfect tense.

New language content:

  • partitive article
  • size, quantity and measures
  • introduction to the perfect tense with avoir
New contexts:
  • following and devising recipes
  • preparing a menu
  • buying food and drink

Alternative contexts: leisure activities; buying clothes. By applying the perfect tense to other, familiar contexts covered earlier, eg school, spare time activities, home activities, pupils can consolidate their command of the perfect tense.

This unit is expected to take 12-15 hours.
