French Extensions

Here are two very useful free French extensions available from the Google Chrome Web Store:

French Conjugation
  • Click the icon and enter the infinitive of a verb to see how to conjugate the verb (all possible tenses and modes)
Accent Grid
  • Click the icon and choose the letter with the desired icon, and it’s copied to your clipboard (use the paste function to add the letter to your document, slide show, etc.)

Ma famille et moi-même : les adjectifs

This lesson requires students to create a presentation (using the program/materials of their own choosing) that introduces themselves and their family members. It also uses Kahoot to review the masculine, feminine and plural forms of adjectives.
