This bundle of Passé Composé allowed me to supplement my own activities and provide students with a variety of practice on the past tense. This bundle allowed me to differentiate between students who needed more direction and reinforcement of the concept. Merci mille fois!

Exactly what I needed for passé composé! Was able to easily base my lessons off of the content and explanations provided in the resource. My students use the reference page for the past participles on a regular basis.
