Sample Saxony Abitur French Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Saxony Abitur French exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which auxiliary is required in 'Elle ___ partie avant l'aube'?
A.est
B.a
C.était
D.sera
Explanation: 'Partir' belongs to the small set of intransitive movement/change-of-state verbs that take être in compound tenses. With être, the past participle agrees with the subject: 'partie' for feminine singular.
2Complete: 'Quand j'étais lycéen, je ___ le métro tous les matins.'
A.prenais
B.ai pris
C.prendrai
D.prenne
Explanation: The imparfait marks a habitual past action. 'Tous les matins' is a classic habit marker that calls for 'prenais', not a single completed event.
3Complete: 'Quand nous sommes arrivés, le débat ___ déjà.'
A.avait commencé
B.a commencé
C.commençait
D.commence
Explanation: The plus-que-parfait expresses an action completed before another past action — the debate had already started before we arrived.
4Complete with futur simple of 'faire': 'S'il fait beau, nous ___ une randonnée.'
A.ferons
B.ferions
C.faisons
D.avons fait
Explanation: In a realistic si-clause (si + présent), the main clause uses futur simple. 'Faire' has the irregular stem fer-: nous ferons.
5The imparfait stem (except for 'être') comes from which present-tense form?
A.the nous-form without '-ons'
B.the je-form without '-e'
C.the infinitive without '-r'
D.the ils-form without '-ent'
Explanation: Remove '-ons' from the present nous-form, then add -ais/-ais/-ait/-ions/-iez/-aient. Example: nous finiss-ons → je finissais.
6Complete: 'Les lettres que j'ai ___ hier sont sur le bureau.' (écrire)
A.écrites
B.écrit
C.écrite
D.écris
Explanation: With avoir, the past participle agrees with a preceding direct object. 'Que' refers to 'les lettres' (feminine plural) before the verb → écrites.
7In 'Il ouvrit la porte et sortit sans un mot,' which tense are 'ouvrit' and 'sortit', and where is it mainly used?
A.Passé simple — literary narration and formal written French
B.Passé composé — everyday spoken French
C.Imparfait — background description
D.Subjonctif imparfait — clauses of doubt
Explanation: These are passé simple forms. For Saxon LK Französisch, passé simple is mainly a receptive skill for literary Vorlagen in Prüfungsteil A, not a production target.
8Complete: 'Demain soir, je ___ mes amis à la gare.' (rejoindre, futur)
A.rejoindrai
B.rejoindrais
C.rejoins
D.ai rejoint
Explanation: 'Rejoindre' has futur stem rejoindr-; je rejoindrai. The time marker 'demain soir' requires futur simple.
9Which sentence correctly contrasts passé composé and imparfait?
A.Il pleuvait quand le train est arrivé.
B.Il a plu quand le train arrivait chaque jour.
C.Il pleut quand le train était arrivé.
D.Il pleuvait quand le train arrivera.
Explanation: Imparfait sets the ongoing background (it was raining) while passé composé marks the interrupting completed event (the train arrived).
10Complete: 'Après que nous ___ le document, nous avons voté.' (lire)
A.avons lu
B.ayons lu
C.lisions
D.lisions eu
Explanation: 'Après que' takes the indicative. The completed action before voting is passé composé: après que nous avons lu.

Saxony Abitur French: Suggested Study Strategy

1Treat the kombinierte Aufgabe as three scored skills: rehearse Partnerprüfung Argumentation/Interaktion (20%), extended Textaufgabe writing (55%), and DE→FR Sprachmittlung (25%) separately.
2Drill subjonctif trigger families and the three si-clause patterns until they are automatic — language is 60% of both Schreiben and Sprachmittlung scores.
3For Prüfungsteil A, prepare soziokulturelles Orientierungswissen across all four VwV Themenfelder; the literary and non-literary Wahl may sit on different themes.
4Practise Sprachmittlung with a real addressee: select, condense and paraphrase in natural French — never translate word for word.
5In Partnerprüfung training, focus on interaction moves (agree, challenge, ask for clarification, summarise) as much as monologue content — and remember: no dictionary.
6After MCQ practice, move to full official-format tasks: a literary or non-literary Textanalyse essay and a real mediation exercise from a German source, plus timed speaking with a partner.
