Imperfect subjunctive
The French imperfect subjunctive (imparfait du subjonctif) is a literary verb form used in formal writing, such as literature, journalism, and history. Like all literary verb forms, you really only need to be able to recognize the imperfect subjunctive, not use it.

Quiz: Confusing pairs
How well do you understand the difference between confusing French pairs like de/du, à/de, and savoir/connaître? This automatic-scoring confusing pairs quiz will ask up to 100 questions on 20 different pairs of confusing French words and topics to help you pinpoint your most common mistakes.

Warm ups and fillers for French class
Most language teachers find that there is a bit of dead time during class. This may occur at the beginning of class, as the students are arriving; at the end of class, as they are thinking about leaving; and right in the middle of class, when transitioning from one lesson to another. During this dead time, the best option is to spend five or ten minutes on a short, interesting activity.
