A GCSE French translation practice resource focused on common mistakes in translation into English and translation into French. Students read a prompt and a flawed student answer, then identify and correct the mistakes.

This resource is designed to help students slow down, spot common translation traps and improve accuracy with tense, pronouns, fixed expressions, prepositions, negatives, agreements and vocabulary precision.

What’s included

• 1 translation into English page
• 1 translation into French page
• 14 mistake-spotting questions on each worksheet
• Gradual progression on both pages, from more accessible Foundation-style traps to more challenging Higher-style structures
• All answers provided
• Teacher notes highlighting the trap or exam skill targeted in each question
• Available in PDF and editable PPTX, with colour and black-and-white versions

Designed for GCSE French, especially AQA-style translation practice, revision, intervention, homework or independent practice.

I hope you find it useful.
