What children learn in Year 6 French

In Year 6, children understand basic grammar: masculine and feminine nouns, and the present tense of high-frequency verbs such as être and avoir.

They describe people, places and things in speech and writing, ready for Key Stage 3.

Key goals for Year 6 include:

  • say whether a noun is masculine or feminine
  • use je suis and j’ai correctly
  • describe themselves in a few sentences

US equivalent: Year 6 pupils are about the age of Grade 5. Each topic shows the closest Common Core standard.
