- Who is the The Être Verbs poster for?
- The Être Verbs belongs to the Languages section rather than to a school year, because languages is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning french can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the The Être Verbs poster?
- They are almost all verbs of coming, going or staying. That is the pattern. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so The Être Verbs belongs on the wall where that languages work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with The Être Verbs?
- Adjective Placement, Articles and Avoir & Être sit alongside The Être Verbs in the Languages section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Adjective PlacementArticlesAvoir & Être
- Is the The Être Verbs poster free to download and print?
- Yes. The Être Verbs downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Languages section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the The Être Verbs poster print at?
- The Être Verbs is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of The Être Verbs loses nothing.Printing guide
