Hear the words
Each word is read twice — say it back in the gap. Computer-generated voice; credits on the course page.
La règle · The rule
A presentation ends, it does not stop. Pour conclure, je dirais que... then one sentence of position and one that opens outward. Et vous, qu'en pensez-vous? hands it to the room.
Et aussi · And also
Never end with voilà. It is what every unprepared candidate says, and examiners have heard it four hundred times before lunch.
Attention · Watch out
Never end with voilà. pour conclure, je dirais que..., then one sentence of position and one that opens outward. la chute is the closing line, not a fall.
finir, futur simple — the table
je finirai · tu finiras · il/elle finira · nous finirons · vous finirez · ils/elles finiront
Do it now — on paper
Say all 8 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the French spelling alone — begin with pour conclure.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the French.
Write out finir, futur simple in full from memory, every person, and check each form against the table above.
This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The French Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
