Sample Burkina Faso BEPC Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Burkina Faso BEPC exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Complete the sentence correctly: « Fatou va ___ Ouagadougou demain. »

A.a

B.as

C.à

D.ah

Explanation: The preposition à marks destination or location, so Fatou va à Ouagadougou. The form a (no accent) is the third-person singular of avoir, not a preposition. BEPC French papers regularly test this homophone pair in dictée and grammar items.

2Which word correctly completes « Ouagadougou ___ la capitale du Burkina Faso »?

A.est

B.et

C.ait

D.es

Explanation: Est is the third-person singular of être and links the subject to its attribute: Ouagadougou est la capitale. Et is a coordinating conjunction meaning and. The pair et/est is a standard collège 3ème homophone.

3Complete: « Amadou range ___ cartable avant la dictée. »

A.sont

B.son

C.sons

D.sonts

Explanation: Son is the masculine singular possessive adjective agreeing with cartable. Sont is the third-person plural of être. Possessive son/sa/ses must not be confused with the verb sont.

4What type of sentence is « Fermez vos cahiers ! »?

A.Declarative (énonciative)

B.Interrogative

C.Exclamative

D.Injunctive / imperative (injonctive)

Explanation: The sentence gives an order, uses the imperative Fermez, and ends with an exclamation mark of command, so it is injonctive (impératif). A declarative would state a fact; an interrogative would ask; a purely exclamative would express emotion without ordering an action.

5A short text that lists numbered steps for preparing tô is mainly which text type?

A.Narrative

B.Injunctive / instructional (injonctif)

C.Argumentative

D.Poetic

Explanation: An injunctive or instructional text tells the reader what to do, often with imperatives and numbered steps. A recipe is a classic collège example. Narrative recounts events; argumentative defends a thesis; poetic language aims at aesthetic effect.

6In « Il est courageux comme un lion », which figure of speech is used?

A.Comparaison

B.Métaphore

C.Hyperbole

D.Personnification

Explanation: A comparaison links two elements with a comparison tool such as comme, tel que, or ainsi que. A métaphore would drop the tool (C’est un lion). Recognizing figures of speech is a regular vocabulary/style item in BEPC text study.

7Choose the pair that correctly completes « ___ matin, l’élève ___ lève tôt pour réviser. »

A.Se / ce

B.Se / se

C.Ce / se

D.Ce / ce

Explanation: Ce matin uses the demonstrative ce before a noun. Se lève is the reflexive pronoun se with lever. Mixing ce and se is a frequent dictée trap at collège.

8In « Les filles sont allées au marché de Sankaryaré », why is allées written with -ées?

A.Because marché is masculine plural

B.Because with auxiliary être the past participle agrees with the subject

C.Because allées is an adverb

D.Because the verb is in the future

Explanation: With auxiliary être, the past participle agrees in gender and number with the subject. Les filles is feminine plural, so allées takes -ées. This agreement rule is a core collège 3ème orthographe point for the BEPC.

9In « L’élève lit un roman de Ahmadou Kourouma », the group « un roman » functions as:

A.Complement d’objet direct (COD)

B.Subject (sujet)

C.Complement d’objet indirect (COI)

D.Complement circonstanciel de lieu

Explanation: Un roman answers qui / quoi? after the verb without a preposition, so it is a COD. The subject is L’élève. A COI would be introduced by à or de (parler à quelqu’un). Function identification is a standard BEPC grammar task.

10Which connector mainly introduces contrast or concession?

A.parce que

B.afin que

C.donc

D.cependant

Explanation: Cependant signals opposition or concession (however / nevertheless). Parce que introduces cause, afin que purpose, and donc consequence. Logical connectors are essential both in text comprehension and in the rédaction / dissertation.
