  1. 1Future and Conditional: Same Stem, Different EndingsA recap of the futur proche and the futur simple from Grade 9, then the Grade 10 layer: the conditionnel présent as a full tense, built on exactly the same stem as the futur with imparfait endings, plus every irregular and spelling-change stem you need.Interactive10 questions
  2. 2Using the Conditional: Politeness, Wishes, Advice and Reported SpeechGrade 9 used je voudrais as a fixed polite phrase; Grade 10 uses the whole conditionnel to soften requests, express wishes, give advice, imagine situations and report what someone said they would do — including the tense shifts that happen after a past reporting verb.10 questions
  3. 3Si Clauses: Real and HypotheticalGrade 9 covered si + présent → futur for real possibilities; Grade 10 adds si + imparfait → conditionnel for hypothetical situations, the full table of si patterns, the s'il / si elle spelling rule, and the one rule that never bends: no futur or conditionnel right after si meaning if.10 questions
  4. 4The Subjunctive After Il faut queGrade 9 used il faut + infinitive for general rules; Grade 10 adds il faut que + subjonctif to say what a specific person has to do. Learn how the subjonctif présent is formed, the two-stem verbs, seven key irregular verbs, and the expressions of necessity that trigger it.10 questions
  5. 5Expressing Opinions, Necessity and PersuasionPut the whole unit to work: opinion phrases that take the indicatif, necessity with il faut + infinitif or il faut que + subjonctif, proposals in the conditionnel, hypothetical si clauses as arguments, interjections for spoken reactions, and the structure of a persuasive letter on healthy eating or the environment.10 questions
