About General Grammar and Sentence Structure

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

This unit sits in the Grammar Essentials strand of French language. Its resources focus on how French sentences are put together. You will find mind maps, flashcard decks, notes, quizzes and a couple of slide sets, all made by GoConqr users.

Many of the resources deal with negatives, question words, adjectives, possessives and pronouns. Others reach further, with the subjunctive, relative pronouns and the passive voice.

Where to start

If you are building a base, begin with the mind map French Grammar, which covers reflexive verbs such as s'entendre with full conjugations. Then read the note Interrogative and Negative Form of French Sentences. It explains three ways to ask questions, including inversion, with examples like Parlez-vous espagnol?

Next, pick one small topic and stay with it:

Negatives: the mind map French Negatives shows how ne… pas wraps around the verb.
Questions: the note Asking questions in French lists words like quand, pourquoi and où.
Nouns and adjectives: the notes The Partive and Adjectives cover du, de la and de l', and where adjectives sit.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first, then close it and take a quiz. The quiz Perfect Tense asks which tense it is for and how many verbs you need to build it. Ben: French Possesive Adjectives tests mon, ma, mes, ton, ta, tes and the rest. Quizzes are a smaller part of this page, so flashcard decks are useful for extra repetition on negatives, question words and adjectives.

When a quiz answer surprises you, go back to the matching map or note and look at the example sentences. Then try writing a sentence of your own.

For more advanced work

The mind map The Subjunctive separates what is unlikely from what is likely, with phrases like je crois que and il est probable que. The page also lists a mind map called GCSE French grammar and a flashcard deck on GCSE French negatives, which suit school students preparing for that exam. Teachers can use any of these as ready-made starting points for a lesson.

Choose one topic today, work through its map and quiz, and then build your own flashcards for the parts you keep missing.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map French Grammar, which sets out reflexive verbs with the full conjugation of s'entendre. After that, read the note on the interrogative and negative forms of French sentences. Together they give you a clear picture of how basic sentences are built before you move on to quizzes.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

There are over 60 mind maps. Many deal with negatives, but others cover the subjunctive, the passive voice, personal and relative pronouns, possessive adjectives, interrogative words and the perfect tense. Some are short overviews, so compare a few on the same topic and keep the clearest one.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so the style and depth vary from one resource to the next. Try a couple on the same topic to see which one suits you.

Which levels and exams do these suit?

Most of the resources are at secondary level, so they suit school students. One mind map and one flashcard deck mention GCSE French directly. Teachers can use the notes, quizzes and slide sets as ready-made material, whatever exam their class is preparing for.

Can I test myself on specific grammar points?

Yes. There are more than 15 quizzes, including ones on the perfect tense, reflexive verbs, subject pronouns, question words, prepositions and active to passive voice. Flashcard decks also drill negatives, adjectives and question words, which works well when you want to repeat a single point.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Look at the related resources for a similar topic, since many titles overlap, for example several on negatives. With a free account you can save your quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes to fill any gap.
