👋🏽 I'm Saf. I teach CAPE French at Arc School: live classes each week, lesson resources, exam practice and personalised coaching for the May–June 2027 exams. In this lesson, listen first, then build each sentence yourself. Just don't learn my sentences by heart. Make every sentence about your own family.
Bonjour mes amis 👋🏽
At CAPE, nobody just asks who is in your family. You have to say how your family works, how you get on and what you think about family life. The ideas get bigger, and that's where the small mistakes creep in: a verb that doesn't match, a missing article, an ending you forgot.
Today we fix those three, one correct sentence at a time. By the end of this lesson you will be able to:
describe how your family is made up and how you get on, in full French sentences;
make the verb match when you talk about la famille, les jeunes, tout le monde or mes grands-parents;
keep the article when you talk about family life in general;
make every describing word agree;
say 12 phrases about family life from memory, in an order you can use in the oral.
In the full lesson you'll hear me say every phrase, then say it back until you can answer the first questions of your oral without looking.
