在 Year 9 法语学习中打下扎实的基础,关键在于掌握高频语法、核心动词时态以及构成 CIE 课程主干的话题词汇。本指南将必学内容提炼成清晰易懂的章节,帮助你高效复习,自信地写出日益复杂的法语句子。
1. Nouns and Articles: Gender and Number | 名词与冠词:性与数
Every French noun has a gender (masculine or feminine) and this affects the articles and adjectives used with it. Most nouns add -s to form the plural, but words ending in -eau or -eu typically add -x. The definite article le becomes l' before a vowel or silent h, while the indefinite article un/une changes to des in the plural.
每个法语名词都有阴阳性,这会影响与之搭配的冠词和形容词。大多数名词加 -s 构成复数,但以 -eau 或 -eu 结尾的词通常加 -x。定冠词 le 在元音或哑音 h 前变为 l',而不定冠词 un/une 在复数中变为 des。
| Article Type | Masculine Singular | Feminine Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| Definite (the) | le / l' | la / l' | les |
| Indefinite (a/an/some) | un | une | des |
| Partitive (some/any) | du / de l' | de la / de l' | des |
Examples: le garçon (the boy), la fille (the girl), l'ami (the friend, m.), les chiens (the dogs), un croissant, une baguette, du pain (some bread), de la confiture (some jam).
例子: le garçon(男孩),la fille(女孩),l'ami(朋友,阳),les chiens(狗),un croissant(一个可颂),une baguette(一根法棍),du pain(一些面包),de la confiture(一些果酱)。
2. Subject Pronouns: The Sentence Starters | 主语代词:句子的起点
Subject pronouns are the foundation of almost every French sentence. The pronoun on is extremely common in spoken French and often replaces 'nous' to mean 'we', though it also translates as 'one' or 'people in general'. Vous is used both for plural 'you' and as the formal singular 'you' when addressing someone politely.
主语代词是几乎所有法语句子的基础。代词 on 在口语中极为常见,常用来代替 'nous' 表示“我们”,不过它也可翻译为“人们”或泛指一般人。Vous 既用于复数“你们”,也用作单数敬称“您”。
- je (I) — becomes j' before a vowel: j'habite
- tu (you, singular informal)
- il (he / it, m.) / elle (she / it, f.)
- on (we / one / people)
- nous (we)
- vous (you, plural or formal singular)
- ils (they, m.) / elles (they, f.)
Note: ils is used for an all-male group or a mixed-gender group; elles is used only for an all-female group.
注意:ils 用于全男性群体或男女混合群体;elles 仅用于全女性群体。
3. Present Tense: -ER, -IR, -RE Verbs | 现在时:-ER、-IR、-RE 动词
The present tense is your most versatile tool for describing current actions, habits, and general truths. The vast majority of French verbs are -ER verbs, and mastering their regular endings unlocks hundreds of verbs instantly. -IR and -RE verbs follow slightly different patterns but are equally essential for Year 9 accuracy.
现在时是描述当前动作、习惯和普遍事实的最万能的工具。绝大多数法语动词是 -ER 动词,掌握它们的规则词尾能让你立刻解锁数百个动词。-IR 和 -RE 动词遵循略有不同的模式,但对于 Year 9 的准确性同样至关重要。
| Subject | -ER (parler) | -IR (finir) | -RE (vendre) |
|---|---|---|---|
| je | parle | finis | vends |
| tu | parles | finis | vends |
| il / elle / on | parle | finit | vend |
| nous | parlons | finissons | vendons |
| vous | parlez | finissez | vendez |
| ils / elles | parlent | finissent | vendent |
Build sentences by combining the conjugated verb with time phrases like tous les jours (every day), en ce moment (at the moment), souvent (often), and toujours (always).
将变位后的动词与时间短语相结合来造句,比如 tous les jours(每天)、en ce moment(此刻)、souvent(经常)和 toujours(总是)。
4. Key Irregular Verbs: être, avoir, aller, faire | 核心不规则动词:être、avoir、aller、faire
These four irregular verbs are the engine room of French. They appear constantly, both as main verbs and as auxiliaries for compound tenses. Memorising their full present-tense conjugation is non-negotiable; without them, you simply cannot form basic sentences or the near-future and perfect tenses.
这四个不规则动词是法语的动力核心。它们频繁出现,既可作为主动词,也可作为复合时态的助动词。熟记它们完整的现在时变位是必不可少的;没有它们,你根本无法构成基本句子或者近将来时和完成时。
| Subject | être (to be) | avoir (to have) | aller (to go) | faire (to do/make) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| je | suis | ai | vais | fais |
| tu | es | as | vas | fais |
| il / elle / on | est | a | va | fait |
| nous | sommes | avons | allons | faisons |
| vous | êtes | avez | allez | faites |
| ils / elles | sont | ont | vont | font |
Common uses: J'ai 14 ans (I am 14 years old), Je suis anglais (I am English), Je vais au collège (I go to school), Je fais du sport (I do sport).
常见用法:J'ai 14 ans(我十四岁),Je suis anglais(我是英国人),Je vais au collège(我去上学),Je fais du sport(我做运动)。
5. The Near Future (Futur Proche) | 近将来时 (Futur Proche)
The near future is the simplest way to talk about upcoming events, plans, or intentions. It is formed by conjugating aller in the present tense and adding the infinitive of the main verb. This structure deserves as much attention as the present tense because it enables students to discuss future plans in speaking and writing tasks.
近将来时是谈论即将发生的事件、计划或意图的最简单方式。它的构成是将 aller 进行现在时变位,然后加上主动词的不定式。这个结构值得与现在时同等重视,因为它能让学生在口语和写作任务中讨论未来计划。
aller (present) + infinitive
Examples: Je vais regarder un film (I am going to watch a film). Nous allons visiter Paris (We are going to visit Paris). Elle va acheter une robe (She is going to buy a dress). Ils vont jouer au foot (They are going to play football).
例子: Je vais regarder un film(我要看一部电影)。Nous allons visiter Paris(我们要去巴黎游览)。Elle va acheter une robe(她要去买一条裙子)。Ils vont jouer au foot(他们要去踢足球)。
Add time markers for clarity: ce soir (this evening), demain (tomorrow), le week-end prochain (next weekend), pendant les vacances (during the holidays).
可添加时间标记以表清晰:ce soir(今晚)、demain(明天)、le week-end prochain(下周末)、pendant les vacances(假期期间)。
6. The Perfect Tense (Le Passé Composé) | 完成时 (Le Passé Composé)
The perfect tense is the gateway to talking about the past and is typically introduced in Year 9. Most verbs use avoir as the auxiliary, but a core set of movement and state-change verbs (Dr & Mrs Vandertramp verbs) use être and require past participle agreement with the subject.
完成时是谈论过去的入门时态,通常从 Year 9 开始引入。大多数动词使用 avoir 作助动词,但一组核心的表示移动和状态变化的动词(Dr & Mrs Vandertramp 动词)使用 être,并且需要过去分词与主语进行性数配合。
avoir/être (present) + past participle
- Regular past participles: -ER → -é (parler → parlé), -IR → -i (finir → fini), -RE → -u (vendre → vendu).
- Common être verbs: aller (allé), venir (venu), arriver (arrivé), partir (parti), entrer (entré), sortir (sorti), monter (monté), descendre (descendu), naître (né), mourir (mort), rester (resté), tomber (tombé), retourner (retourné).
- With être, add -e for feminine and -s for plural: elle est allée, ils sont allés, elles sont allées.
规则过去分词:-ER → -é(parler → parlé),-IR → -i(finir → fini),-RE → -u(vendre → vendu)。常用 être 动词:aller(去)、venir(来)、arriver(到达)、partir(出发)等。使用 être 时,阴性加 -e,复数加 -s。
Example: J'ai mangé une pizza (I ate a pizza). Nous sommes allés au cinéma (We went to the cinema, m. or mixed).
例子:J'ai mangé une pizza(我吃了一个披萨)。Nous sommes allés au cinéma(我们去了电影院,阳性或混合)。
7. Adjectives: Agreement and Position | 形容词:配合与位置
Adjectives in French agree in gender and number with the noun they describe. Most add -e for feminine and -s for plural, but many common adjectives have irregular feminine forms. While most adjectives follow the noun, a small group of frequently used adjectives (BAGS: Beauty, Age, Goodness / Badness, Size) precede it.
法语形容词在性数上要与所修饰的名词配合。大多数形容词阴性加 -e,复数加 -s,但许多常用形容词的阴性形式不规则。虽然大多数形容词放在名词后面,但有一小部分常用形容词(BAGS:美、龄、好/坏、尺寸)要放在名词之前。
| Masculine Singular | Feminine Singular | Masculine Plural | Feminine Plural | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| grand | grande | grands | grandes | big / tall |
| petit | petite | petits | petites | small |
| beau | belle | beaux | belles | beautiful |
| bon | bonne | bons | bonnes | good |
| heureux | heureuse | heureux | heureuses | happy |
| long | longue | longs | longues | long |
Position rules: une voiture rouge (a red car — after), un grand jardin (a big garden — before, BAGS). Multiple adjectives can be linked with et or separated by commas: une maison grande et moderne.
位置规则:une voiture rouge(一辆红色的车——后置),un grand jardin(一个大花园——前置,BAGS)。多个形容词可用 et 连接或用逗号分隔:une maison grande et moderne。
8. Negation: The Ne … Pas Sandwich | 否定式:Ne … Pas 结构
Negation in French typically wraps around the conjugated verb with ne … pas. In spoken French, the ne is often dropped, but for written accuracy in CIE assessments, both parts should be included. With compound tenses like the perfect tense, the negation wraps around the auxiliary verb, not the past participle.
法语中的否定通常用 ne … pas 将变位动词包裹起来。在口语中,ne 常常被省略,但在 CIE 笔试中为保证准确性,两部分都应写出。在完成时等复合时态中,否定结构包裹助动词而非过去分词。
Examples: Je ne mange pas de viande (I do not eat meat). Il n'aime pas le fromage (He does not like cheese). Je n'ai pas fait mes devoirs (I did not do my homework).
例子: Je ne mange pas de viande(我不吃肉)。Il n'aime pas le fromage(他不喜欢奶酪)。Je n'ai pas fait mes devoirs(我没做作业)。
Note the use of de (or d') instead of un/une/du/de la/des after a negative, except after être: Je n'ai pas de frère. (I have no brother.)
注意在否定之后要用 de(或 d')来替代 un/une/du/de la/des,但 être 后除外:Je n'ai pas de frère。
9. Asking Questions: Three Methods | 提问:三种方式
Year 9 students should be able to form questions confidently using at least two of the three main methods. The simplest is raising intonation, but more formal writing tasks often call for inversion or the 'est-ce que' structure. Each method has its place depending on the register required.
Year 9 学生应能熟练运用三种主要方式中的至少两种来提问。最简单的就是语调上扬,但较正式的写作任务往往要求使用倒装或 'est-ce que' 结构。根据所需语域的不同,每种方法都有其用武之地。
- Intonation: Tu aimes le sport? (Do you like sport?) — simply raise the voice at the end.
- Est-ce que: Est-ce que tu aimes le sport? — adds 'est-ce que' at the start, which signals a question clearly.
- Inversion: Aimes-tu le sport? — invert the subject and verb, connected by a hyphen.
语调法:Tu aimes le sport? —— 句末语调上扬即可。Est-ce que:Est-ce que tu aimes le sport? —— 句首加 'est-ce que',明确标示问句。倒装法:Aimes-tu le sport? —— 主谓倒装并用连字符连接。
Question words combine with these structures: où (where), quand (when), comment (how), pourquoi (why), qui (who), que (what). Example: Où est-ce que tu habites? / Où habites-tu? (Where do you live?)
疑问词与这些结构结合使用:où(哪里)、quand(何时)、comment(怎样)、pourquoi(为什么)、qui(谁)、que(什么)。例子:Où est-ce que tu habites? / Où habites-tu?(你住在哪里?)
10. Topic Vocabulary: The Essential Themes | 话题词汇:必备主题
CIE Year 9 French revolves around a set of core themes. Building a rich vocabulary bank within these topics is critical for performing well in both written and spoken assessments. Focus on learning nouns with their articles, key opinion phrases, and verbs relevant to each theme.
CIE Year 9 法语围绕一组核心主题展开。在这些话题内积累丰富的词汇库对于在书面和口语评估中取得好成绩至关重要。重点学习带冠词的名词、关键观点短语以及与各主题相关的动词。
- Family and Descriptions: la mère (mother), le père (father), le frère (brother), la sœur (sister), les grands-parents (grandparents), aimable (kind), bavard(e) (chatty), paresseux/paresseuse (lazy).
- School: le collège (school), la matière (subject), l'emploi du temps (timetable), les devoirs (homework), le professeur (teacher), apprendre (to learn), réviser (to revise).
- Free Time and Hobbies: jouer au foot (to play football), faire de la natation (to swim), écouter de la musique (to listen to music), les jeux vidéo (video games), une sortie (an outing).
- Home and Local Area: la maison (house), l'appartement (flat), le jardin (garden), la chambre (bedroom), la ville (town), le marché (market), propre (clean), bruyant(e) (noisy).
- Food and Drink: le petit-déjeuner (breakfast), le déjeuner (lunch), le dîner (dinner), l'eau (water, f.), le jus d'orange (orange juice), les légumes (vegetables), le gâteau (cake).
家庭与描写:la mère, le père, le frère, la sœur, les grands-parents, aimable, bavard(e), paresseux/paresseuse。学校:le collège, la matière, l'emploi du temps, les devoirs, le professeur, apprendre, réviser。空闲与爱好:jouer au foot, faire de la natation, écouter de la musique, les jeux vidéo, une sortie。家居与本地:la maison, l'appartement, le jardin, la chambre, la ville, le marché, propre, bruyant(e)。饮食:le petit-déjeuner, le déjeuner, le dîner, l'eau, le jus d'orange, les légumes, le gâteau。
11. Opinions, Justifications, and Connectives | 观点、论证与连接词
Moving beyond simple sentences requires opinions, reasons, and linking words. Year 9 students should be embedding phrases like parce que (because) and cependant (however) to show higher-order thinking. Justified opinions are a staple of CIE speaking and writing criteria.
要想超越简单句,就需要观点、理由和连接词。Year 9 学生应该能嵌入像 parce que(因为)和 cependant(然而)这样的短语来展示高阶思维。带有论证的观点是 CIE 口语和写作评分标准中的基本要素。
| Opinion Phrases | Justification Connectives | Sequencing and Contrast |
|---|---|---|
| Je pense que (I think that) | parce que (because) | d'abord (first of all) |
| À mon avis (in my opinion) | car (because, formal) | ensuite (then / next) |
| J'aime / J'adore (I like / love) | puisque (since) | enfin (finally) |
| Je n'aime pas / Je déteste (I dislike / hate) | donc (so / therefore) | mais (but) |
| Je préfère (I prefer) | quand (when) | cependant (however) |
Example: J'adore les sciences parce que c'est fascinant, mais je déteste l'histoire car c'est ennuyeux. (I love science because it is fascinating, but I hate history because it is boring.)
例子:J'adore les sciences parce que c'est fascinant, mais je déteste l'histoire car c'est ennuyeux
