Conjugation tables, je to elles
Chanter, finir and vendre side by side, every pronoun covered, with the ending that changes picked out in colour so you read the pattern instead of memorising a list.
- 2
Pronunciation boxes
Which endings you actually hear: j'utilise, tu utilises and il utilise sound identical, and the ‑ent of ils utilisent stays silent.
- 3
50 exercises with room to write
Fill in the blanks, sentences to rewrite in another tense, conjugation tables to complete and guided journal writing, each with ruled space to answer straight in the file.

A tip from Camille in every chapter
The shortcut in the margin: find the stem first, then add the ending that matches your subject.

Eight pages of corrections
Every answer to the 50 exercises in green, wrong forms struck through next to the right one, and for exercise 49 the reason: imparfait sets the scene, passé composé interrupts it.

The 30-Day Challenge on a single page
30 dated prompts plus 2 bonus days: day 13 asks what you did yesterday in passé composé, day 23 mixes passé composé and imparfait inside one childhood memory.
