Activities: singular verbs in the present tense

In this unit, pupils revisit the verb faire, with meanings other than 'do' or 'make'. Pupils use singular forms of -er verbs with new high frequency vocabulary to talk about activities. They use two-verb structures with 'aimer' and practise the sound spelling links ch, ç, ai, oi, -tion and -ien.
