Grade 7 test for "er" and "ir"

Grade 7 will have a test about how to conjugate the verbs ending with "er " and "ir" on Thursday October the 21st. I have already posted two clips and two lessons about these topics a couple weeks ago. If you can not find them let me know.
Good luck

After test treat ;)

Grade 8 enjoy these clips .
The first one is a baby who is left home alone. She is saying that " je fais rien que des bêtises quand tu n'est pas là". ( I do nothing but foolish stuff when you are not here ) . Singing and complaining to her mom who left her alone!

The second one is another version of this song. Julien Dore in French Idole 2007 took this song and changed it to a sad, romantic song. The lyrics has been changed a bit but the punch line stays the same. "  je fais rien que des bêtises quand tu n'est pas là". ( I do nothing but foolish stuff when you are not here ). I don't think he is singing it for his mom though !
