30 Steps to a Grade 9 · GCSE French

Day 21 · Step 21
"About to"

Translate five sentences into French. Each one is worth 3 marks.

Module 7 · Mon petit monde à moi15 marks

Today's task

Every sentence needs today's structure: être sur le point de. Write the whole sentence in French, then check your work. Each sentence is marked in three chunks, so a partly correct answer still scores.

Stuck? Open the Step 21 phrase list
j'étais sur le point de partirI was about to leave
je suis sur le point de commencerI am about to start
au moment oùjust as
soudain / tout à coupsuddenly
j'allais + inf.I was going to

Try each sentence once with the list closed first. That is what exam day will feel like.
