What is the French translation of "Good morning"?
Bonjour
Bonsoir
Bonne nuit
Salut
The French phrase "Bonjour" literally means "good day" and is used as "good morning." Although "Bonsoir" means "good evening", it is used later in the day. "Bonne nuit" is "good night" used at bedtime. "Salut" is an informal "hi" or "bye." Lingolia � Greetings
What is the French definite article for masculine singular nouns?
La

"Le" is the masculine singular definite article in French. "La" is feminine singular, "Les" is plural, and "Un" is the masculine indefinite article. Lawless French � Articles
What is the French word for "and"?
Mais
Ou
Et
Donc
"Et" is the French conjunction for "and." "Mais" means "but," "ou" means "or," and "donc" means "so" or "therefore." Lawless French � Conjunctions
What is the first person singular form of "�tre" in French?
Tu es
Je suis
Il est
Nous sommes
"Je suis" is the first person singular present form of the verb "�tre" (to be). "Tu es" is second person, "Il est" is third person singular, and "Nous sommes" is first person plural. Lingolia � �tre
How do you say "Thank you" in French?
Pardon
Merci
De rien
S'il vous pla�t
"Merci" means "Thank you" in French. "Pardon" is "sorry" or "excuse me," "De rien" is "you're welcome," and "S'il vous pla�t" means "please." Lawless French � Greetings
What is the French word for "cat"?
Chien
Cheval
Chat
Poisson
"Chat" means "cat" in French. "Chien" means "dog," "cheval" is "horse," and "poisson" is "fish." Lingolia � Animals
How do you say "My name is..." in French?
Je suis...
Je m'appelle...
Je suis appel�...
Je m'appelle suis...
"Je m'appelle" literally means "I call myself" and is the standard way to say "My name is." "Je suis..." means "I am..." but doesn't specifically introduce names. Lawless French � Pronouns
What is the French negation of "Je suis"?
Je ne suis pas
Je suis pas
Je ne suis
Je pas suis
The correct negation places "ne" before the verb and "pas" after: "Je ne suis pas." In spoken French, "ne" is often dropped, but formally both are needed. Lawless French � Negation
How do you say "She reads" or "She is reading" in French?
Elle lit
Elle lira
Elle a lu
Elle litre
"Lit" is the third person singular present form of "lire" (to read). "Lira" is future, "a lu" is past, and "litre" is a noun meaning liter. Lingolia � Lire
What is the plural form of "cheval"?
Chevals
Chevaux
Chevalsx
Chevaus
Some French nouns ending in -al form their plural by changing -al to -aux, so "cheval" becomes "chevaux." Regular plural would be -s, but "chevaux" is irregular. Lawless French � Plurals
Which pronoun correctly replaces "les pommes" in "Je mange les pommes"?
Je les mange
Je leur mange
Je les manges
Je mange les
"Les" is the direct object pronoun for feminine plural nouns like "les pommes." "Je les mange" correctly replaces the noun. Lingolia � Direct Object Pronouns
Fill in the blank: "Nous ___ all�s au cin�ma hier." (�tre)
sommes
�tes
sont
�tre
In the pass� compos�, "aller" uses "�tre" as the auxiliary. For "nous," the correct conjugation is "sommes," forming "Nous sommes all�s." Lingolia � Aller
What is the gender of the French word "eau"?
Masculine
Feminine
Both
Neither
"Eau" (water) is a feminine noun, though it ends with -au, a masculine ending. Memorizing exceptions is common. ThoughtCo � French Gender Rules
Translate "We have been to Paris" into French.
Nous sommes all�s � Paris
Nous avons �t� � Paris
Nous sommes �t� � Paris
Nous sommes all�s Paris
To translate "We have been to Paris" meaning we visited, use the pass� compos� of aller with �tre as auxiliary: "Nous sommes all�s � Paris." Lingolia � Aller
What is the past participle of "manger"?
Mang�
Mange
Mangeant
Mange�
Regular -er verbs form the past participle by replacing -er with -�, so "manger" becomes "mang�." Lawless French � Past Participles
Translate "They (feminine) speak French."
Elles parlent fran�ais
Ils parlent fran�ais
Elles parle fran�ais
Elles parl�nt fran�ais
The third person plural feminine pronoun is "elles", and "parler" conjugates as "parlent." The accent in "parl�nt" is incorrect, and "ils" is masculine. Lingolia � Parler
Select the correct direct object pronoun in the sentence "Je vois Marie."
Je la vois
Je le vois
Je lui vois
Je vois la
"Marie" is feminine; the direct object pronoun is "la" and it precedes the verb: "Je la vois." Lawless French � Object Pronouns
How is the "il" form of "aller" in the future tense?
Il iras
Il ira
Il allera
Il allons
The stem of "aller" in the simple future is "ir-", and the third person singular ending is "-a," so "il ira." Lingolia � Future Tense
Choose the correct conditional form: "Je ____ �tudier plus tard." (devoir)
Je devrais �tudier plus tard
Je devrai �tudier plus tard
Je devrait �tudier plus tard
Je dois �tudier plus tard
The conditional of "devoir" in first person is "devrais," expressing "I should." "Devrai" is future, "devrait" is third person conditional. Lawless French � Conditional
How do you say "I am going to eat" in French (futur proche)?
Je vais manger
Je suis manger
Je vais � manger
Je aller manger
The futur proche is formed with the present of "aller" + infinitive: "Je vais manger." Lingolia � Futur Proche
Complete the reflexive verb: "Nous ___ (se laver) presque tous les jours."
nous lavons
nous nous lavons
nous nous lavons-nous
nous lavons-nous
Reflexive verbs require the reflexive pronoun: "nous nous lavons." The pronoun "nous" appears before the verb. Lawless French � Reflexive Verbs
Complete the comparative: "Cette maison est ___ grande ___ l'autre."
plus; que
plus; de
moins; que
autant; que
To compare, use "plus ... que" for "more ... than": "plus grande que." Lingolia � Comparatives
Translate "Although it's raining, we will go for a walk."
Bien qu'il pleuve, nous irons nous promener
Parce qu'il pleut, nous allons promener
Bien qu'il pleut, nous irons promener
Quoique il pleut, nous iremos promener
"Bien que" requires the subjunctive: "il pleuve." Future: "nous irons nous promener." Lawless French � Subjunctive
Select the correct subjunctive form: "Il faut que tu ___ � l'heure." (�tre)
sois
es
seras
sera
After expressions like "il faut que," the verb is in the subjunctive, so the correct form is "sois." "Es" is indicative, "seras" is future, and "sera" is third person future. Lawless French � Subjunctive
Translate "If I had known, I would have come." into French.
Si j'avais su, je serais venu.
Si j'aurais su, je serais venu.
Si j'avais su, je viendrais.
Si j'aurai su, je serais venu.
In the third conditional in French, the si clause uses plus-que-parfait (j'avais su) and the result uses the past conditional (je serais venu). Lingolia � Conditionnel Pass�

Cheat Sheet

  1. Regular -ER Verb Conjugation -

    According to the French Ministry of Education's KS3 curriculum, mastering the six present-tense endings for -ER verbs (e, es, e, ons, ez, ent) is fundamental. Use the mnemonic "E-ES-E-onZ-EZ" to recall the pattern with verbs like parler (je parle, tu parles, il parle, nous parlons, vous parlez, ils parlent). Practise these forms in your French revision quiz to boost confidence for a Year 8 French test.

  2. Noun Gender and Definite/Indefinite Articles -

    French nouns are gendered, requiring the appropriate articles le/la (definite) and un/une (indefinite), as outlined in official KS3 guidelines. A handy rule is that most nouns ending in "-e" are feminine, but watch out for exceptions like le musée or le lycée. Drill these pairings in a free French quiz to internalize patterns and excel in your French vocabulary quiz.

  3. Adjective Agreement and Placement -

    Adjectives in French must agree in gender and number with the nouns they describe, as reinforced by the Académie Française. Most adjectives add an "-e" for feminine and an "-s" for plural (exemple: petit → petite, petits, petites). Remember that adjectives of beauty, age, goodness and size (BAGS) usually precede the noun, so say une belle maison or un grand jardin correctly.

  4. Passé Composé with Avoir and Être -

    The passé composé uses avoir for most verbs and être for Dr & Mrs Vandertramp verbs, per Académie Française recommendations. Form it with the present-tense auxiliary plus past participle (e.g., j'ai mangé, elle est venue), and watch for agreement with être. Testing this structure in a French grammar quiz will solidify your understanding for the Year 8 French test.

  5. Forming Questions: Inversion and "Est-ce que" -

    Learn the two main ways to ask questions: inversion (e.g., Parles-tu français ?) and "Est-ce que" at the front (e.g., Est-ce que tu parles français ?), as per the Ministry of Education's KS3 guidelines. Inversion adds a hyphen and swaps subject and verb, while "est-ce que" keeps the word order intact for beginners. Practise with targeted exercises in your French revision quiz to build fluency and confidence in oral and written tests.
