Reading task – devinez l’aliment

it is.
• “Find the French” task to identify key phrases you
could use in your own work.
• EXT: Begin writing your own description (without
mentioning the name of the food.

Choice of activity
If you are currently aiming for a C (and don’t want to
hear about any more A-grade stuff yet), continue
with the reading/writing task from Monday (on
Showbie).
A*-B candidates, continue listening!
The subjunctive
• Some structures cause the verb to change “mood”, even
though it is still in the same “tense”.
• This is like in English, phrases like “I wish that I were rich”.
• For Higher grades at GCSE you need to recognise and use a
few key subjunctive expressions.
• For the top grade (A*), you may be able to adapt these
phrases yourself.
Bien que + subjunctive
• bien que means “although”.
• It is always followed by the subjunctive of a verb (not the
normal present tense).
• Fortunately, you can find the subjunctive form in the
dictionary (verb table).
J’adore le fromage bien que c’est riche en matières grasses.
You need to get rid of “c’est” and replace it with the
subjunctive form of the verb.
Present subjunctive
“c’est” comes from the verb être.
J’adore le fromage bien que ce soit
riche en matières grasses.
(je) sois
(tu) sois
(il) soit
(nous) soyons
(vous) soyez
(ils) soient
bien que ce soit = although it is
• How would I adapt this to say “although they are”
• eg: Je ne mange pas de fruits [although they are] riches en
vitamines.
• The verb needed is still être, so the same page in the
dictionary.
Je ne mange pas de fruits
bien qu’ils soient riches en
vitamines.
Present subjunctive
(je) sois
(tu) sois
(il) soit
(nous) soyons
(vous) soyez
(ils) soient
bien qu’ils soient = although they are
Essayons avec un verbe différent…
• What if I wanted to say:
• I eat sweets although I know that they are high in sugar. ?
• Step 1: Find the verb “to know”
• savoir
• Step 2: Find its page in the middle of the dictionary
and look for the present subjunctive section.
Je mange des bonbons bien que je
sache qu’ils sont riches en sucre.
bien que je sache = although I know
Present subjunctive
(je) sache
(tu) saches
(il) sache
(nous) sachions
(vous) sachiez
(ils) sachent
Traduisez:
1) I love chocolate although it is high in calories.
J’adore le chocolat bien que ce soit riche en calories.
2) I smoke although I know that it is bad for the health.
Je fume bien que je sache que c’est mauvais pour la santé.
3) I don’t eat many vegetables although they are good for
the health.
Je ne mange pas beaucoup de légumes bien qu’ils soient
bons pour la santé.
4) *I don’t eat meat although it contains lots of protein.
Je ne mange pas de viande bien que ça contienne beaucoup
de protéine.
5) *I don’t smoke although my dad does it.
