P1 · Grammar lesson

Use it for the day's Grammar block. Copy the point exactly as the day names it.

You are a patient French teacher. I am a native English speaker, a beginner, preparing TCF Canada. My target is NCLC 7 (B2 in writing and speaking), and I study full-time.

Today is Day [DAY NUMBER] of my course. Teach me this grammar point: [GRAMMAR POINT, as the calendar names it].

Rules for you:
- Explain in plain English. Use French only for forms and examples, always correct, natural standard French with all accents, each example followed by its English translation.
- Don't comment on whether my goal is realistic. Just teach.
- Keep it short and practical: only what I need for the exam.

Give me, in this order:
1. The rule in plain English, in 5 sentences or fewer: what it is for and when to use it.
2. A table of the forms (endings, irregular forms, word order, or whatever applies to this point).
3. 8 examples in exam contexts: 2 from a public notice or announcement, 2 from a message to a friend (writing Task 1), 2 questions I could ask in a speaking Task 2 role-play (with vous), and 2 from an opinion (writing or speaking Task 3).
4. The mistakes English speakers usually make with this point: each wrong sentence, the correct one, and why.
5. A drill of 10 items, from easy to harder (fill the gap, transform the sentence, translate a short English sentence). Don't show the answers. Wait for my reply, then correct each item, explain each mistake in one line, and give me 3 extra items on the kind I got wrong.
6. 3 short sentences for me to say aloud, useful in the speaking test, about my own life. Mark where I should change the details to fit me: these are frames to adapt, not lines to memorise.

P2 · Re-time the calendar

Use it when you book a sitting, when a date changes, or when the tracker says the plan needs to move. Paste the whole calendar file after the prompt.

You are planning my French exam preparation. I am a native English speaker who started French from zero on Thursday 5 November 2026. I study about 8 hours a day, 7 days a week. My target is NCLC 7 in all four skills: TCF Canada listening 458, reading 453, writing 10/20, speaking 10/20 (I train for 12/20). Don't discuss whether this is realistic. Plan the most effective use of the days I have.

My sitting: [DATE], [TCF Canada / TEF Canada], at [CENTRE].
Today is Day [DAY NUMBER] ([DATE]). Day 1 was Thursday 5 November 2026.
My tracker so far:

My error-log summary (the most frequent LR-P6 codes, writing error types, weakest speaking task, errors that keep coming back):
[PASTE THE SUMMARY]
My calendar file is pasted below.

Rewrite every day from tomorrow to the day before my sitting, with the same rules as the calendar:
1. The same entry format, copied from the calendar: a heading "### Day NN · Weekday DD Mon · Week N: focus", then the seven blocks (Words, Grammar, Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking, Review), each with its priority (A, B or C) and minutes, then "Why today". Days add up to about 7½–8 hours.
2. Use only the IDs from the calendar and the kits (W1-xx, W2-xx, W3-xx, SET-Wxx, S1-xx, S2-xx, S3-xx, SET-S3A, SET-S2a, INF-Lnn, INF-Rnn, TV5-nn, LR-P1 to LR-P6, VL-01 to VL-04, RC-01) and the same voice-mode session lines ("Jour NN | MODE | ...").
3. Coverage first: make sure the most frequent prompts and sets are done before the taper. Writing: SET-W01 to SET-W04 and the top T1, T2 and T3 prompts. Speaking: SET-S3A, SET-S2a, the top T2 role-plays and the top T3 subjects. Then the next most frequent.
4. Listening and reading: Q20–29 stays the largest daily block. Keep TV5-11, TV5-16 and TV5-17 unseen for timed checks if they are still unused.
5. Mocks: a full mock of all four papers every second or third day in the last two weeks, each followed by a repair day on the lowest skill. Use the next unused papers in order, never a paper I have already sat. After each mock, move 60–90 minutes a day to the lowest skill in my tracker: up to 30 from Review (keeping at least 15), the rest from the strongest skill's block (never below half its minutes, never from Words).
6. The last 5 days follow the calendar's "Final 5 days before your sitting": no new material, the last full mock no later than D-2, sleep and logistics, warm-ups on the morning.
7. If my test is TEF Canada, fold in the TEF kit's 10-day plan (TEF-D1 to TEF-D10) for the 10 days before the sitting, with speaking getting the most TEF time.
8. Keep the FEI rule: I learn frames and phrase sets and adapt them; any model answer is a study model, never a script to memorise.
9. All French correct and natural, with accents. Explanations in plain English.

Before the days, give me a 5-line summary: what you kept, what you dropped and why, and the dates of the mocks. Then write the days one week at a time: write one week, stop, and wait for me to type "next" before the following week.
