Fascinating Fact:

“Monter” means to get on or go up, and “descendre” means to get off or go down.

In GCSE Fast French, travel questions often test how well you choose and build verb phrases for real situations, like catching transport, giving directions, and describing what you did on a trip. Aim for clear tense control, accurate prepositions, and natural word order, especially when you add places, times, and reasons.

  • Conjugation: Changing a verb to match the subject and tense, for example “je prends” or “nous prenons”.
  • Preposition: A small word that links ideas, often showing place or direction, such as “à”, “en”, “chez” or “vers”.
  • Word order: The usual sequence of words in a sentence, which matters when you add time phrases, negatives, or extra details.
How do I say “by train” or “by bus” in GCSE French?

You can use “en” with a type of transport, for example “en train” (by train) and “en bus” (by bus). If you mention taking something, use “prendre”, like “je prends le bus”.

How do I choose between “aller à” and “aller en” in French?

Use “aller à” with a town or city, for example “aller à Paris”. Use “aller en” with feminine countries and many regions, for example “aller en France” or “aller en Bretagne”.
