50 French Sentences with Faire

French Listening Practice - 50 French Sentences with Faire

It’s already time for a new French Listening practice! I usually write everyday French sentences for my listening practices, but I decided to change things today. For this one, I wrote 50 sentences with FAIRE (to do/to make). Faire is one of the most versatile verbs in French. It’s used in different situations.  Some common, some less common. In this French listening practice, I collected 50 expressions and wrote 50 sentences with Faire.

In the video lesson, I read each sentence slowly before reading it at a normal pace. Focus on listening but also pay attention to the vocabulary, conjugation, sentence structure, etc. Make the 15 minutes of this lesson count 🙂

Let me know if you would like the next French Listening Practice to be about a specific verb (être, avoir, …) or a specific tense (passé composé, subjunctive, etc)

    1. I usually watch your lessons on you tube on my television screen. This is the first time I have watched it on the computer and have actually seen all the materials you have produced to go with the lesson. I am very impressed with these materials. Thank you so much for making them available. Thrilled I found your channel. I will have to check out your pronunciation lessons and hope you will have information on a good French dictionary that shows the pronunciation of each word. Thank you.
