Essential French Vocabulary for AQA GCSE (Higher Tier)

Quick tip: The phrase "ce qui était..." (which was...) is perfect for linking your activities to opinions about them.

Remember: Use linking words like "personnellement" (personally) and "par exemple" (for example) to make your French flow naturally.

Pro tip: Use "bien que j'ai aimé..., j'aurais préféré..." (although I liked..., I would have preferred...) to show complex opinions.

Key insight: Use conditional sentences like "Si j'étais riche, je..." (If I were rich, I...) to discuss improvements your town needs.

Remember: Use "depuis" (since/for) to show ongoing commitment: "Je suis bénévole depuis un an" (I've been volunteering for a year).

Health tip: The phrase "Si j'avais une baguette magique" (If I had a magic wand) is a fun way to introduce ideal solutions.

Environmental fact: Use "afin de" (in order to) instead of "pour" to sound more sophisticated when discussing environmental goals.

Social awareness: Phrases like "Si on a un cœur" (If we have a heart) add emotional impact to your arguments about helping others.

Travel tip: Use weather conditions with "Comme il pleuvait..." (As it was raining...) to explain why plans changed.
