My ten year old friend in Falkirk had her second French lesson just now, and her twelve year old sister her first. Here are the sentences we made. Introducing the negative at this stage is one of the main ideas of my primary toolkit, as it is the basis of requiring children to answer questions in sentences rather than parroting. We also looked at the pattern of x in a plural following u, at companion words (articles), at shared words, and at the letters at the ends of words that are not pronounced.
