OCR 考试局的 Year 12 法语课程为 A‑level 成功奠定基础。本文梳理了从关键时态和语法结构到核心话题词汇与考试技巧的所有必会知识点。你可以把它当作全年的复习清单。
1. Present Tense – Regular and Key Irregulars | 现在时:规则与重要不规则动词
Master the endings for -er, -ir and -re verbs, and memorise the full conjugation of the twelve most frequent irregular verbs: être, avoir, aller, faire, pouvoir, vouloir, devoir, savoir, venir, tenir, voir, prendre. You must be able to use the present tense to express habits, general truths, and actions happening right now.
熟练掌握 -er、-ir、-re 动词的词尾变化,并牢记十二个最常见不规则动词的全部变位:être, avoir, aller, faire, pouvoir, vouloir, devoir, savoir, venir, tenir, voir, prendre。你必须能用现在时表达习惯、普遍真理和正在发生的动作。
- je parle, tu parles, il/elle parle, nous parlons, vous parlez, ils/elles parlent
- je finis, tu finis, il/elle finit, nous finissons, vous finissez, ils/elles finissent
- je vends, tu vends, il/elle vend, nous vendons, vous vendez, ils/elles vendent
être → je suis, tu es, il est, nous sommes, vous êtes, ils sont
avoir → j'ai, tu as, il a, nous avons, vous avez, ils ont
Every oral and written response relies on present‑tense accuracy, so drilling these forms daily is strongly recommended.
每一次口语和书面回答都依赖现在时的准确性,因此强烈建议每天练习这些变位。
2. Past Tenses – Passé Composé and Imparfait | 过去时:复合过去时与未完成过去时
The passé composé is formed with the present tense of avoir or être + past participle. Learn the DR MRS VANDERTRAMP verbs that use être, and remember that reflexive verbs also take être. Agreement of the past participle with the subject is required when être is the auxiliary.
复合过去时由 avoir 或 être 的现在时加上过去分词构成。记住使用 être 的 DR MRS VANDERTRAMP 动词,并注意自反动词同样使用 être。当助动词为 être 时,过去分词需要与主语性数一致。
- j'ai parlé, tu as fini, il a vendu
- je suis allé(e), tu es venu(e), elle s'est lavée
The imparfait is formed by taking the nous form of the present, removing -ons and adding -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient. It expresses ongoing or repeated past actions, descriptions, and background circumstances. You must be able to choose between the passé composé and the imparfait in narrative.
未完成过去时的构成:取现在时 nous 形,去掉 -ons 并加上 -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient。它表达过去持续或重复的动作、描写和背景状况。在叙述中,你必须能够区分使用复合过去时和未完成过去时。
Quand j'étais petit, je jouais souvent au parc. Hier, j'ai rencontré un ami.
Practice writing paragraphs that combine both tenses, showing how the imparfait sets the scene and the passé composé marks the main event.
练习写作结合两种时态的段落,展示未完成过去时如何铺垫场景、复合过去时如何标记主要事件。
3. Future and Conditional | 未来时与条件式
The simple future (futur simple) adds endings -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont to the infinitive of regular verbs (‑re verbs drop the final ‑e). Irregulars like avoir (aur‑), être (ser‑), faire (fer‑) and aller (ir‑) must be memorised. Use it for predictions, promises and events that will happen.
简单将来时在规则动词原形后加上 -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont(‑re 动词去掉末尾 ‑e)。不规则词根如 avoir (aur‑), être (ser‑), faire (fer‑), aller (ir‑) 须牢记。用于表达预测、承诺和将要发生的事件。
je parlerai, tu finiras, elle vendra
je serai, j'aurai, je ferai, j'irai
The conditional (conditionnel présent) uses the same stems as the future but adds imparfait endings (-ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient). It expresses polite requests (je voudrais), hypothetical statements (si j'avais le temps, je voyagerais) and reported speech for future actions in the past.
条件式现在时使用与将来时相同的词根,但加上未完成过去时的词尾 (-ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient)。它表达委婉请求 (je voudrais)、假设语气 (si j'avais le temps, je voyagerais) 以及过去语境中的间接引语未来动作。
In speaking, mastering 'je voudrais' and 'j'aimerais' immediately raises your fluency and politeness.
在口语中,熟练使用 “je voudrais” 和 “j'aimerais” 能立即提升流利度和礼貌性。
4. Subjunctive – Recognition and Basic Use | 虚拟式:识别与基础用法
The subjunctive is not a tense but a mood. At Year 12 you need to recognise it and produce it in specific structures after expressions of necessity, desire, emotion, doubt and certain conjunctions. It is formed from the ils/elles stem of the present + -e, -es, -e, -ions, -iez, -ent.
虚拟式不是时态,而是语式。Year 12 阶段你需要识别它,并在表示必要性、愿望、情感、怀疑以及某些连词后使用。其构成是现在时 ils/elles 词干加上 -e, -es, -e, -ions, -iez, -ent。
- Il faut que tu fasses attention.
- Je veux qu'elle vienne.
- Bien qu'il soit tard, je continue.
Key irregular subjunctives: être (sois, soit, soyons, soyez, soient), avoir (aie, ait, ayons, ayez, aient), faire (fasse), aller (aille), savoir (sache), pouvoir (puisse).
关键不规则虚拟式变位:être, avoir, faire, aller, savoir, pouvoir。
Even if you only master 'il faut que + subjunctive', you will add grammatical range to your writing and speaking.
即使你只掌握 “il faut que + 虚拟式”,也能为写作和口语增添语法层次。
5. Pronouns – Direct, Indirect, y and en | 代词:直接宾语、间接宾语、y 与 en
Object pronouns must be positioned before the conjugated verb (or before the infinitive in two‑verb structures). Me, te, le/la, nous, vous, les are direct objects; me, te, lui, nous, vous, leur are indirect. The pronoun y replaces à + place/thing, while en replaces de + noun or expresses quantity.
宾语代词必须放在变位动词之前(或在双重动词结构中放在不定式之前)。直接宾语代词:me, te, le/la, nous, vous, les;间接宾语代词:me, te, lui, nous, vous, leur。代词 y 替代 à + 地点/事物,en 替代 de + 名词或表达数量。
Je le vois. Je lui parle. Je vais le faire.
te/se/nous/vous → le/la/les → lui/leur → y → en (e.g. Il me le donne. Elle nous en parle.)
记住双宾语代词的顺序规则:me/te/se/nous/vous → le/la/les → lui/leur → y → en(例如 Il me le donne. Elle nous en parle.)。
Accurate placement of pronouns is frequently tested in gap‑fill and translation exercises.
宾元代词的准确位置经常在填空和翻译题中考查。
6. Relative Pronouns – qui, que, dont, lequel | 关系代词:qui, que, dont, lequel
Relative pronouns link clauses and avoid repetition. Qui is the subject of the relative clause, que is the direct object, and dont means 'of which/whom' or 'whose' (replacing de + noun). Lequel (laquelle, lesquels, lesquelles) is used after prepositions and for clarity when the antecedent is a thing.
关系代词连接从句并避免重复。qui 是关系从句的主语,que 是直接宾语,dont 表示 “关于……的” 或 “……的”(替代 de + 名词)。lequel 系列用于介词后,或当先行词为物且需要清晰区分时。
- La femme qui parle est ma mère.
- Voici le livre que j'ai lu.
- C'est le prof dont je t'ai parlé.
- La table sur laquelle tu écris est ancienne.
Using dont correctly is a hallmark of a more advanced learner, so include it in your essays where possible.
正确使用 dont 是更高级学习者的标志,尽可能在文章中使用它。
7. Negation – More Than Just ne…pas | 否定结构:不仅仅是 ne…pas
Beyond the basic ne…pas, you need to control ne…jamais (never), ne…rien (nothing), ne…personne (nobody), ne…plus (no longer), ne…que (only), and the restrictive ne…ni…ni. Note the word order when used with infinitives and compound tenses.
除了基础 ne…pas,你还需掌握 ne…jamais(从不)、ne…rien(没有什么)、ne…personne(没有人)、ne…plus(不再)、ne…que(只)以及限制性 ne…ni…ni。注意与不定式和复合时态一起使用时的语序。
Je ne l'ai jamais vu. Il n'a rien dit. Elle ne boit que de l'eau. Je ne mange ni viande ni poisson.
When 'personne' is the subject, it is placed at the beginning: Personne n'est venu. The same applies to 'rien' as subject: Rien n'est facile.
当 “personne” 作主语时,它置于句首:Personne n'est venu. 同样,“rien” 作主语:Rien n'est facile.
These structures give you the precision needed for the higher mark bands in writing.
这些结构为你在写作中获得高分提供了所需的精确度。
8. Topic Vocabulary – Social Issues and Trends | 话题词汇:社会问题与潮流
The OCR Year 12 themes cover diverse areas: Changes in family structures, education and the world of work, media, and leisure. Build topic‑specific vocabulary lists with phrases like 'famille recomposée', 'le décrochage scolaire', 'réseaux sociaux', 'le télétravail', 'les loisirs numériques'.
OCR Year 12 的主题涵盖多个领域:家庭结构变化、教育与职场、媒体和休闲。建立话题专属词汇表,例如 'famille recomposée'(重组家庭)、'le décrochage scolaire'(辍学)、'réseaux sociaux'(社交网络)、'le télétravail'(远程办公)、'les loisirs numériques'(数字休闲)。
| Thème / Theme | Vocabulaire clé |
| Famille | se marier, divorcer, les parents monoparentaux, la génération sandwich |
| Éducation | la filière, le bac, redoubler, l'orientation, l'apprentissage |
| Médias | la une, le canular, le cyberharcèlement, s'informer, les fake news |
| Loisirs | faire du sport, les jeux vidéo, le binge‑watching, la pratique en amateur |
Make flashcards with the English on one side and the French on the other, testing both production and recognition.
制作闪卡,一面英文一面法文,测试产出和识别能力。
9. Listening and Reading – Exam Strategy | 听力与阅读:应试策略
For listening, train yourself to pick out key words and to anticipate vocabulary before the audio plays. Practise with past papers and vary the speed. For reading, scan the questions first, then locate synonyms and paraphrases of the question wording in the text.
听力方面,训练自己抓住关键词,并在音频播放前预测词汇。使用历年真题练习并变化播放速度。阅读方面,先浏览问题,然后在文中定位问题措辞的同义词和释义。
Common pitfalls: missing negative forms (ne…que understood as 'only' instead of 'nothing but'), false friends (actuellement = currently, not actually), and unfamiliar topic‑specific vocabulary.
常见陷阱:遗漏否定形式(ne…que 表达 “只”,而非 “除了……没什么”)、假朋友(actuellement = 目前,而非 “实际上”)以及不熟悉的话题特定词汇。
Allocate time wisely: do not spend too long on one item. Use the mark total as a guide to how much detail is required.
合理分配时间:不要在某一题上花太长。用分值提示所需细节的多寡。
10. Speaking and Writing – Communication and Complexity | 口语与写作:沟通与复杂度
In the speaking exam, react spontaneously and justify opinions. Use a good range of tenses and connectors. Your Individual Research Presentation must be structured with a clear introduction, themed paragraphs and a conclusion. Learn phrases like 'Ce qui me frappe, c'est que…', 'À mon avis…', 'D'un côté… de l'autre côté…'.
口语考试中,要自然回应并论证观点。使用丰富的时态和连接词。你的个人研究报告必须有清晰的结构:引言、按主题分段的正文和结论。学会使用 “Ce qui me frappe, c'est que…”(令我印象深刻的是……)、“À mon avis…”(依我看……)、“D'un côté… de l'autre côté…”(一方面……另一方面……)等表达。
For writing, plan before you start. Use a four‑paragraph structure: introduction, two or three developed points, and a concluding paragraph. Show off subordinate clauses (bien que + subjunctive, afin que, pour que) and comparative structures (plus…que, moins…que, aussi…que).
写作要提前规划。采用四段式:引言、两个或三个展开论点、结论段落。展示从句结构(bien que + 虚拟式、afin que、pour que)和比较结构(plus…que、moins…que、aussi…que)。
Accurate spelling of common but tricky words (beaucoup, longtemps, maintenant, évidemment) makes a positive impression.
准确拼写常用但易错的单词(beaucoup, longtemps, maintenant, évidemment)会给人好印象。
11. Cultural Insight – Francophone Countries and Contexts | 文化洞察:法语国家与背景
Your course includes the study of a francophone country or region. Go beyond France: learn about la francophonie in Canada (Québec), Africa (Sénégal, Côte d'Ivoire), Belgium, Switzerland, and the Caribbean. Understanding cultural references enriches your writing and speaking.
你的课程包含对一个法语国家或地区的研究。要超越法国本土:了解加拿大(魁北克)、非洲(塞内加尔、科特迪瓦)、比利时、瑞士和加勒比地区的法语文化。理解文化参照能丰富你的写作和口语。
For example, when discussing education, compare the French baccalauréat system with A‑levels. For media, mention the specific francophone TV channels like TV5Monde or Radio France Internationale.
例如,讨论教育时可比较法国高中毕业会考与 A‑level;谈及媒体时可提及 TV5Monde 或法国国际广播电台等特定法语频道。
Having a few cultural facts at your fingertips shows genuine interest and can lift your grade in the speaking exam.
手头掌握几个文化事实能展现真实兴趣,并可能在口语考试中提分。
12. Grammar Revision Routine – Little and Often | 语法复习计划:少量多次
Grammar is the backbone of confident communication. Create a weekly routine: Monday – present and past tenses; Tuesday – future and conditional; Wednesday – pronouns; Thursday – subjunctive and impersonal expressions; Friday – mixed translation tasks. Use the OCR grammar grid as a checklist.
语法是自信沟通的支柱。建立一个周计划:周一 - 现在时和过去时;周二 - 将来时和条件式;周三 - 代词;周四 - 虚拟式和非人称表达;周五 - 混合翻译练习。将 OCR 语法清单用作查漏补缺工具。
Keep a 'grammar in context' notebook where you copy a sentence you encounter that illustrates a rule, rather than just memorising tables in isolation.
准备一本 “语境语法” 笔记本,记下碰到的能体现某个规则的句子,而不是孤立地背诵表格。
Consistent revision prevents gaps from widening and builds the automaticity you need under exam pressure.
持续复习能防止知识漏洞扩大,并建立考试压力下所需的自动化反应。
