The near future: Le futur proche

Year 9 your homework is to make a poster or information leaflet about the near future.

Remember the rule is:

aller+the infinitive of the action verb (eg. jouer / faire / aller)

Think about some of the sentences we have written:

Je vais faire de la natation

Nous allons jouer au foot

On va aller au cinéma

You don't just have to use these you can use ANY verb you want!!!!

Watch this short video I found to give you some more ideas and also follow this link to About French for a different explanation...hopefully there's something for everyone!!

Le futur proche (About French Language)

Hope to see some great work later in the week - either hand made or computer made...it's up to you!
