  • Routine: Something you do regularly, often useful for describing what you do on weekdays or at weekends.
  • Plan: Something you intend to do later, often supported by a time phrase to make your answer clearer.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What leisure topics should I revise for GCSE French?

For GCSE French, revise hobbies, sports, TV and films, music, games, and going out with friends. It is also helpful to learn places you go in your free time and the equipment linked to common activities.

How do I get higher marks when talking about hobbies in GCSE French?

To get higher marks, give a clear answer, then add an opinion and a reason, plus a frequency word like “often” or “every week”. If you can include a past or future detail, your answer sounds more developed.

How can I practise GCSE French speaking about free time at home?

Practise by making short answer templates you can reuse, such as hobby + opinion + reason. Record yourself, time your answers, and try adding one extra detail each time, like who you go with, where you do it, or when.
