📚 Year 7 CIE French: Quick Vocabulary and Terminology Memorisation Guide | Year 7 CIE 法语:词汇术语速记指南
Building a solid vocabulary and knowing the special ‘toolkit words’ we call grammar terms will make your first year of French much smoother. This guide gives you effective memory tricks, grouped word lists and clear explanations of the language terminology you will meet in Year 7 CIE French.
建立扎实的词汇基础并熟悉那些我们称为语法术语的“工具箱词语”,会让你的法语第一年轻松许多。本指南为你提供有效的记忆技巧、分组词汇表以及 Year 7 CIE 法语中会遇到的语言术语的清晰讲解。
1. Why Start with Words and Terms? | 为何从词语和术语入手?
In Year 7, you learn to introduce yourself, talk about your family, describe your school bag and say what you like. To do all that, you need two things: the words themselves and the names of the patterns behind them. When you know that ‘le’ is called a definite article, you can apply the same rule to hundreds of nouns.
在 Year 7,你要学习自我介绍、谈论家庭、描述书包以及表达喜好。要做到这些,你需要两样东西:单词本身以及这些单词背后规则的名称。当你知道“le”叫作定冠词时,你就能把同一条规则应用到成百上千的名词上。
Grammar terms like ‘adjective’ or ‘verb’ are not just labels; they are shortcuts that help your brain sort new language quickly. Learn them once, and you save time every lesson.
像“形容词”“动词”这类语法术语不仅仅是标签,它们是帮助大脑快速整理新语言的捷径。学会一次,每节课都能省下时间。
2. The Top 5 Vocabulary Pools for Year 7 | Year 7 五大词汇池
Concentrate on these categories first. They appear in almost every CIE unit and form the foundation for speaking and writing tasks.
首先集中掌握以下类别。它们几乎出现在每个 CIE 单元中,构成了口语和写作任务的基础。
Greetings and politeness – les salutations et la politesse
问候与礼貌用语 – les salutations et la politesse
| French | English | Memory tip |
|---|---|---|
| bonjour | hello / good day | ‘bon’ = good, ‘jour’ = day |
| salut | hi / bye (informal) | sounds like ‘salute’ – a quick greeting |
| au revoir | goodbye | ‘revoir’ = see again |
| merci | thank you | think ‘mercy’ – you show mercy with thanks |
| s’il vous plaît / s’il te plaît | please | ‘if it pleases you’ |
Numbers 1–31 – les nombres
数字 1–31 – les nombres
Numbers up to 31 let you give your age, the date and prices. Write them out daily: un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix, then onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize. Seventeen to nineteen are dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf – literally ten-seven, ten-eight, ten-nine. Twenty is vingt; twenty-one is vingt et un.
掌握到 31 的数字就能说出年龄、日期和价格。每天写出这些数字:un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix,然后是 onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize。十七到十九是 dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf——字面意思是十-七、十-八、十-九。二十是 vingt;二十一是 vingt et un。
Family members – la famille
家庭成员 – la famille
- ma mere (my mother) – link to ‘maternal’
- mon pere (my father) – link to ‘paternal’
- mon frere (my brother), ma soeur (my sister)
- mes grands-parents (my grandparents)
- ma mere(我的母亲)– 联想“maternal(母亲的)”
- mon pere(我的父亲)– 联想“paternal(父亲的)”
- mon frere(我的兄弟),ma soeur(我的姐妹)
- mes grands-parents(我的祖父母)
School objects – les objets de la classe
学校用品 – les objets de la classe
un crayon (pencil), un stylo (pen), une gomme (rubber), une trousse (pencil case), un cahier (exercise book), un sac a dos (backpack), une regle (ruler). Notice the pattern: most objects ending in ‘-e’ or ‘-ion’ are feminine, so they take ‘une’.
un crayon(铅笔),un stylo(钢笔),une gomme(橡皮),une trousse(铅笔盒),un cahier(练习本),un sac a dos(背包),une regle(直尺)。注意规律:大多数以“-e”或“-ion”结尾的物品是阴性,因此用“une”。
Colours and simple adjectives – les couleurs et les adjectifs
颜色与简单形容词 – les couleurs et les adjectifs
rouge, bleu, vert, jaune, noir, blanc, violet, orange, marron. Most colours come after the noun: un stylo bleu. Adjectives agree: une gomme verte. ‘Marron’ and ‘orange’ never change.
rouge, bleu, vert, jaune, noir, blanc, violet, orange, marron。大多数颜色放在名词后面:un stylo bleu。形容词要配合:une gomme verte。“marron”和“orange”永远不变化。
3. Grammar Terms You Will Meet Every Day | 每天都会碰到的语法术语
Knowing these French grammar terms helps you follow your teacher’s explanations and find help in textbooks or online.
认识这些法语语法术语能帮助你跟上老师的讲解,也能在课本或网上查找帮助。
le nom (noun) – a person, place, thing or idea. Example: ‘chat’ (cat).

4. Three Memory Techniques That Really Work | 真正有效的三种记忆技巧
Use association, chunking and colour-coding to lock words into your long-term memory.
用联想法、组块法和颜色编码法把单词锁定在长期记忆中。
Association: Link a French word to an English word that sounds similar or to a mental picture. For ‘fenetre’ (window), imagine a window with a ‘fen’ (marsh) outside. For ‘porte’ (door), think of a ‘portal’.
联想法:把法语单词跟发音相似的英语单词或头脑中的图像联系起来。对于“fenetre”(窗户),可以想象窗外是一片沼泽地(fen);对于“porte”(门),可以想到“portal”(入口)。
Chunking: Group words together by sound or topic instead of learning them in isolation. Learn ‘le bras, le dos, la main, le pied’ (arm, back, hand, foot) as a body set. Your brain files them in the same folder.
组块法:按发音或主题将单词分组学习,而不是孤立记忆。将“le bras, le dos, la main, le pied”(手臂、背、手、脚)作为身体部位一组来学,大脑会把它们归档在同一个文件夹里。
Colour-coding: Write masculine nouns in blue and feminine nouns in red. Add green for verbs and orange for adjectives. The visual cue reinforces gender and word class without extra effort.
颜色编码法:阳性名词用蓝色写,阴性名词用红色写。动词加绿色,形容词加橙色。视觉提示毫不费力地强化了词性和词类。
5. How to Use Flashcards Like a Forgetfulness-Proof System | 把闪卡用成防遗忘系统
Write the French word on one side and the English plus a small drawing or a sample sentence on the other. Review in three piles: ‘Every day’, ‘Every week’ and ‘Once a month’.
一面写法语单词,另一面写英语、加一幅小画或一个例句。复习时分三堆:“每天”、“每周”和“每月一次”。
Start with ten cards in the Every Day pile. When you get a word right three times in a row, move it to Every Week. When it feels easy, move it to Once a Month. If you get it wrong, send it back to Every Day. This spaced repetition mimics how the brain strengthens memories.
从“每天”堆里的十张卡开始。当你连续三次答对一个单词时,就把它移到“每周”堆。觉得很简单时,再移到“每月一次”。如果答错,就放回“每天”堆。这种间隔重复模仿了大脑巩固记忆的方式。
Digital flashcard apps like Anki or Quizlet can automate this, but the act of writing the card yourself is already a powerful first step.
Anki 或 Quizlet 等数字闪卡应用可以自动完成这一过程,但亲手书写卡片本身已经是强大的第一步。
6. Pronunciation Clues That Make Spelling Stick | 让拼写扎根的发音线索
French spelling follows clear sound patterns. Once you learn a few rules, guessing a word’s spelling becomes much easier.
法语拼写遵循清晰的语音规则。一旦掌握几条规则,猜出单词的拼写就容易多了。
In Year 7, focus on these key links:
在 Year 7,重点掌握这些关键联系:
- oi sounds like ‘wa’ in ‘water’. ‘Trois’ (three), ‘noir’ (black), ‘pourquoi’ (why).
- oi 发音像 water 中的“wa”。例如“trois”(三),“noir”(黑色),“pourquoi”(为什么)。
- ch is always ‘sh’: ‘chat’ (cat), ‘chocolat’ (chocolate), ‘chercher’ (to look for).
- ch 总是发“sh”音:“chat”(猫),“chocolat”(巧克力),“chercher”(寻找)。
- au and eau both make the long ‘o’ sound: ‘chaud’ (hot), ‘bureau’ (desk), ‘eau’ (water).
- au 和 eau 都发长“o”音:“chaud”(热),“bureau”(办公桌),“eau”(水)。
- Final consonants are mostly silent, except c, r, f, l (think CaReFuL). ‘petit’ – the t is silent; ‘parc’ – the c is pronounced.
- 末尾辅音大多不发音,除了 c, r, f, l(记住 CaReFuL)。“petit”中 t 不发音;“parc”中 c 要发音。
- in / ain / ein all sound like the ‘an’ in ‘sang’ but nasalised: ‘pain’ (bread), ‘main’ (hand), ‘plein’ (full).
- in / ain / ein 都发类似“sang”中“an”的鼻元音:“pain”(面包),“main”(手),“plein”(满的)。
Whenever you learn a new word, say it out loud and underline the tricky sound group. Your ear will train your hand.
每学一个新词,都大声读出来,并在容易出错的音组下面划线。耳朵会训练你的手。
7. Tackling Verbs and Their Tricky Terms | 攻克动词及棘手术语
Verbs change shape, and the names for those changes can seem overwhelming. Focus on these five essentials:
动词会变形,而那些变化的名称可能令人不知所措。集中掌握以下五个要点:
L’infinitif (the infinitive) – the ‘to’ form, which you find in the dictionary: parler (to speak), finir (to finish), vendre (to sell). Notice the three endings: -er, -ir, -re.
L’infinitif(不定式) – 即词典中的“to”形式:parler(说),finir(结束),vendre(卖)。注意有三种词尾:-er, -ir, -re。
Le radical (the stem) – what remains when you remove -er, -ir or -re. For ‘parler’, the stem is ‘parl-‘. All present-tense endings hook onto the stem.
Le radical(词干) – 去掉 -er、-ir 或 -re 后剩下的部分。对于“parler”,词干是“parl-”。所有现在时词尾都接在词干上。
Les pronoms sujets (subject pronouns) – je, tu, il/elle/on, nous, vous, ils/elles. Recite them as a chant: ‘je, tu, il, nous, vous, ils’.
Les pronoms sujets(主语代词) – je, tu, il/elle/on, nous, vous, ils/elles。像念口诀一样背诵:“je, tu, il, nous, vous, ils”。
Les terminaisons (endings) – for a regular -er verb at present: -e, -es, -e, -ons, -ez, -ent. Most are silent! ‘Je parle, tu parles, il parle’ sound identical.
Les terminaisons(词尾) – 规则 -er 动词现在时的词尾:-e, -es, -e, -ons, -ez, -ent。大多不发音!“Je parle, tu parles, il parle”听起来完全一样。
Etre and avoir – the two most important irregular verbs. Memorise them by heart: je suis (I am), tu es, il est… j’ai (I have), tu as, il a…
Etre 和 avoir – 最重要的两个不规则动词。牢记于心:je suis(我是),tu es,il est… j’ai(我有),tu as,il a…
8. Negation and Question Terms Without the Stress | 轻松掌握否定与疑问术语
The negative is built with ‘ne … pas’ wrapped around the verb. Learn the term ‘la negation’ and the formula: ne + verbe + pas.
否定形式用“ne … pas”包裹动词构成。记住术语“la negation”和公式:ne + verbe + pas。
‘Je parle anglais’ (I speak English) becomes ‘Je ne parle pas anglais’. When the verb starts with a vowel, ‘ne’ becomes ‘n” : ‘Il n’aime pas le chocolat’.
“Je parle anglais”(我说英语)变成“Je ne parle pas anglais”。当动词以元音开头时,“ne”缩写成“n’”:“Il n’aime pas le chocolat”(他不喜欢巧克力)。
To ask questions, you will meet three patterns: simple rising intonation (Tu aimes le football?), ‘Est-ce que…’ (Est-ce que tu aimes le football?), and inversion (Aimes-tu le football?). In Year 7, ‘Est-ce que’ is your safest tool.
提问时会遇到三种模式:简单上扬语调(Tu aimes le football?)、“Est-ce que…” (Est-ce que tu aimes le football?)以及倒装(Aimes-tu le football?)。在 Year 7,“Est-ce que”是你最稳妥的工具。
9. Look Out for These Common Tricky Pairs | 当心这些常见易混配对
Some words look like English but mean something different (false friends), and others sound identical but have different spellings.
有些词看起来像英语但意思不同(假朋友),还有些词发音相同但拼写不同。
| French word | Looks like English | Actual meaning |
|---|---|---|
| librairie | library | bookshop |
| eventuellement | eventually | possibly |
| car | car (vehicle) | because |
| sensible | sensible | sensitive |
Pronunciation twins need extra care: ‘vert’ (green), ‘verre’ (glass), ‘vers’ (towards) all sound like ‘vair’. Always learn the word in a phrase: ‘un stylo vert’, ‘un verre d’eau’.
发音相同的词需要格外留意:“vert”(绿色)、“verre”(玻璃杯)、“vers”(朝向)都发“vair”音。务必在短语中学单词:“un stylo vert”(一支绿色钢笔),“un verre d’eau”(一杯水)。
10. Make It Personal with Your Daily Routine | 用日常生活让单词个性化
The quickest route to memorisation is using French to describe your own world. This section gives you the vocabulary and terms to build a simple daily script.
记忆的最快途径是用法语描述你自己的世界。本节为你提供构建简单日常剧本的词汇和术语。
Morning phrases – le matin
早晨用语 – le matin
Je me reveille (I wake up), je me leve (I get up), je me lave (I wash), je prends le petit dejeuner (I have breakfast). Notice the term ‘verbe pronominal’ (reflexive verb) – these have ‘me, te, se’ in front.
Je me reveille(我醒来),je me leve(我起床),je me lave(我洗漱),je prends le petit dejeuner(我吃早餐)。注意术语“verbe pronominal”(代动词)——这类动词前面有“me, te, se”。
School day – la journee scolaire
上学日 – la journee scolaire
Je vais au college (I go to school), j’ai maths le lundi (I have maths on Monday), je mange a la cantine (I eat at the canteen), j’aime le sport (I like sport). Key term: la preposition – ‘a’ (to/at), ‘de’ (of/from), they combine with articles: au = a + le, du = de + le.
Je vais au college(我去上学),j’ai maths le lundi(我周一有数学课),je mange a la cantine(我在食堂吃饭),j’aime le sport(我喜欢运动)。关键术语:la preposition—— “a”(到/在),“de”(的/从),它们与冠词缩合:au = a + le,du = de + le。
Home time – le soir
晚间时间 – le soir
Je rentre a la maison (I go home), je fais mes devoirs (I do my homework), je dîne (I have dinner), je me couche (I go to bed). Learning this sequence in full sentences imprints grammar structures naturally.
Je rentre a la maison(我回家),je fais mes devoirs(我做作业),je dîne(我吃晚饭),je me couche(我睡觉)。用完整句子学习这个序列能自然地印刻语法结构。
