What is the correct form of "petit" in the feminine plural?
petits
petite
petites
petit
Adjectives in French agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since the noun is feminine and plural, "petit" becomes "petites". Singular feminine would be "petite" and masculine forms are "petit" or "petits". More on adjective agreement can be found here.
Which of the following verbs means "to eat"?
manger
venir
boire
prendre
"Manger" is the French verb for "to eat". "Boire" means "to drink", "venir" means "to come", and "prendre" means "to take". You can review common French verbs here.
What is the correct translation of "the house" in French?
la maison
le maison
l'maison
la maisonne
The noun "maison" (house) is feminine in French, so it takes the article "la". "Le" is masculine, "l'maison" is incorrect contraction, and "maisonne" is not a French word. See definite articles in French here.
Choose the correct definite article for the word "école".
le
la
l'
les
Because "école" begins with a vowel, the definite article "le" or "la" is elided to "l'". This avoids the awkward pronunciation of two vowels in a row. Learn more about elision in French here.
What is the imparfait form of "avoir" for "nous"?
nous avions
nous avons
nous aurons
nous eûmes
The imparfait for "avoir" with "nous" is "nous avions". "Nous avons" is present tense, "nous aurons" is future, and "nous eûmes" is passé simple. For more on the imparfait, see this page.
Which preposition correctly completes: "Je vais ___ France"?
à France
en France
dans France
pour France
When talking about going to most countries, including France, French uses the preposition "en" before a feminine country. "À" is used for cities, "dans" implies inside, and "pour" means for. More details on geography prepositions here.
Which relative pronoun is used to replace a direct object?
qui
que
dont
où
In French, "que" is used as the direct object relative pronoun. "Qui" is for subjects, "dont" replaces "de + noun", and "où" refers to place or time. See a guide to relative pronouns here.
Choose the correct subjunctive form: "Il faut que tu ____ (finir) tes devoirs."
fins
finisses
finir
finit
After "il faut que", French requires the subjunctive mood. The correct subjunctive form for "finir" with "tu" is "tu finisses". "Fins" is present indicative, and "finir" is the infinitive. Read more on the subjunctive in French here.
What is the past subjunctive form of "être" for "ils"?
qu'ils aient été
qu'ils furent
qu'ils sont été
qu'ils soient été
The past subjunctive of "être" is formed with the subjunctive present of the auxiliary plus the past participle: "qu'ils aient été". "Furent" is passé simple, and "soient été" is not a correct construction. More on past subjunctive here.
What is the correct French translation for "Had I known, I would have come"?
Si j'avais su, je serais venu
Si j'aurais su, je serais venu
Si j'avais su, j'aurais venu
Si j'aurais su, j'aurai venu
In a hypothetical past clause, French uses "si + plus-que-parfait" and the conditional past: "Si j'avais su, je serais venu". Using "j'aurais" in the "si" clause or "j'aurais venu" is incorrect. See more on si-clauses here.
Which sentence correctly places the object pronouns in imperative form?
Donne moi le livre
Donne-le-moi
Le donne-moi
Moi donne-le
In affirmative commands, object pronouns follow and attach to the verb with hyphens. Reflexive and indirect pronouns order is also maintained: "Donne-le-moi". "Donne moi le livre" lacks hyphens. Details on pronoun placement here.
In the sentence "Il a fallu que nous partions tôt", what mood is "partions"?
Subjunctive
Indicative
Conditional
Infinitive
"Partions" is the subjunctive form of "partir" for "nous". The construction "il a fallu que" triggers the subjunctive mood for the verb that follows. It is not indicative nor conditional. Learn about triggers for the subjunctive here.
What is the correct inversion to form the question "Vous avez visité Paris cette année?"
Avez-vous visité Paris cette année ?
Vous avez-visité Paris cette année ?
Aviez-vous visité Paris cette année ?
Avez-vous-vous visité Paris cette année ?
Inverting subject and auxiliary with a hyphen is the proper way to form a question in French: "Avez-vous visité...?". "Aviez-vous" is pluperfect auxiliary, incorrect tense here. Double pronouns like "avez-vous-vous" are erroneous. More on question inversion here.
Which sentence correctly uses the subjunctive after "bien que"?
Bien que je sois fatigué, je travaillerai.
Bien que je suis fatigué, je travaillerai.
Bien que j'étais fatigué, je travaillerai.
Bien que je serai fatigué, je travaillerai.
After "bien que" (although), French requires the subjunctive mood, so "je sois" is correct. "Je suis" is indicative, "j'étais" is past indicative, and "je serai" is future indicative. For more on conjunctions with the subjunctive, see here.
