This 8 slide PowerPoint introduces the Past Historic. Use it to elicit translations and to present information about it's formation and irregular verbs.

I use this PowerPoint slide to revise the Past Historic. I give students mini-whiteboards and they choose the odd-one-out.

Examples:

je parlai je finis je répondis je vais

j’aurai j’allai nous finîmes il but

j’eus ils eurent j’ai eu vous eûtes

* watch out for the made-up verb at the end!
