The practice check: writing

Module 5 of the free French course (CEFR A2 mastery + the B1 bridge), lesson 27 of 30: Writing check: one form, one 40-word description, one reply to an invitation. On this page: 6 words with their genders and respellings, the rule, a watch-out line and the audio — the study notes behind the workbook's lesson 27.

The words

French	English	Say it
relire	to reread	ruh-LEER
je relis	I reread	zhuh ruh-LEE
vérifier	to check	vay-ree-FYAY
la faute	the mistake	lah FOHT
corriger	to correct	koh-ree-ZHAY
fini	finished	fee-NEE

Respellings follow the course’s say-it key; the stressed syllable is in capitals. Print this lesson’s flashcards (PDF) — the words on the front, the English and respelling on the back.

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

Writing check: one form, one 40-word description, one reply to an invitation — the two task shapes, done cold, marked against the keys at the back.

Et aussi · And also

Then the honest look: which box was hardest? That unit is your revision list, and the DPP pages behind this book are where it lives.

Attention · Watch out

relire is lire with re- in front and conjugates exactly like it: je relis, tu relis, il relit. la faute is a mistake here, not blame.

Do it now — on paper

Say all 6 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the French spelling alone — begin with relire.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the French.
Write two sentences of your own that get the watch-out line right, then the two practice pages of workbook lesson 27 in Module 5 are the written half of this page.

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.
