Higher Level Structures Why bother? Higher level structures make your work more complex and, if used correctly, will help you achieve more marks and therefore a higher grade in both your speaking and writing exams. It is best to learn a few higher level structures so you can vary your language. Even if you only learn one higher level structure, it will make your work more complex. The GCSE mark scheme clearly awards more marks for work which is complex and which has a variety of structures.

Higher Level Structures Après avoir…. After having….

Higher Level Structures ‘Après avoir’ is used to say ‘after having’ done something, you then do something else. ‘Après avoir’ can be used in any context. Let’s take a look at some English sentences to see how it is used: After having finished my homework, I watched TV. After having eaten lunch, I went out with my mates. After having listened to my mp3 player, I read for a while. After having revised for weeks, I finally sat my exam.

Higher Level Structures So how do you use ‘après avoir’? Après avoir + Past Participle Après avoir is always followed by a PAST PARTICIPLE

Higher Level Structures So what is a PAST PARTICIPLE? A PAST PARTICIPLE is a particular form of the verb in the past. A PAST PARTICIPLE in English ends in –en or –ed e.g. eaten, played, finished, etc. A PAST PARTICIPLE in French ends in –é, -i, or –u e.g mangé, fini, vendu, etc.

Higher Level Structures How to form a PAST PARTICIPLE 1. Knock off the infinitive ending (ER, IR, RE) 2. Add the past participle ending (é, i, u) jouer finir vendre jou fin vend + é i u joué fini vendu
