This no-prep, self-grading French digital game will allow your students to practice choosing between the passé composé and imparfait. 30 different questions - each is a sentence in English where you would use either the imparfait or the passé composé to write the same sentence in French. Choosing correctly moves you on to the next question, choosing incorrectly causes you to go back and repeat the questions in that section. Students do not need to have mastered how to form either tense in French, this game is just to practice getting the concept of what things require each of the tenses.

Includes a Google drive, PowerPoint and PDF version of the game. Share with students as an individual assignment or work through the activity as a class on a smartboard.
