Fascinating Fact:

“Faire ses valises” means to pack your bags, and it is used when getting ready to go away.

In GCSE Fast French, travel topics often test whether you can choose a precise verb and build a clear sentence about plans, transport and destinations. Focus on common patterns like “aller + infinitive” for future plans and accurate past choices for what you did on holiday.

Key Terms

Infinitive: The base form of a verb, like “aller” (to go) or “prendre” (to take), often used after another verb.
Reflexive verb: A verb used with a reflexive pronoun, like “je me” or “nous nous”, to show the action happens to the subject.
Near future: A tense made with “aller + infinitive”, for example “je vais visiter” (I am going to visit).
