Worksheet including answers to practise these verbs. Good for cover lesson

Explains how to form a question.For the starter you need to write the questions on pieces of paper and stick them around the room - in pairs one finds question memorises it and says it to partner - like a running dictation. For the OXO game put class into pairs (boy/girl is best). They learn the 9 sentences. Give each pair a dice. They throw the dice twice to find out which sentence they need to translate. (2 and 12 are wild) Their partner judges whether they have translated correctly. If yes, they can write their O or X in the relevant square. If the partner throws the same number and can translate correctly he/she can overwrite the other's O or X. When one has a line of O's or X;s they tell you and you keep a tally of boys/girls lines - creates great sense of competition in the class. It sounds complex but works really well. ps thanks to another tesser (can't remember who!) for a couple of the slides which allow practice of est-ce que and qu'est-ce que.
