1Choose the correct form of avoir in the present tense: « Ils _____ une grande maison près de l'école. »
A.ont
B.sont
C.avez
D.avons
Explanation: Ils is third-person plural, so avoir takes ont. Sont is from être; avez is with vous; avons is with nous.
2Which sentence correctly uses the passé composé with être?
A.Elle est allée au cinéma hier soir.
B.Elle a allée au cinéma hier soir.
C.Elle est allé au cinéma hier soir.
D.Elle a aller au cinéma hier soir.
Explanation: Aller is an être verb. The past participle must agree with a preceding feminine singular subject: allée.
3Complete: « Quand j'étais petit, je _____ tous les jours au parc. » (habitual past action)
A.jouais
B.ai joué
C.jouerai
D.joue
Explanation: The imparfait expresses habitual or ongoing past actions. Jouais is the first-person singular imparfait of jouer.
4Which negative form is correct?
A.Je ne mange jamais de viande.
B.Je ne mange pas jamais de viande.
C.Je ne mange de jamais viande.
D.Je mange ne jamais de viande.
Explanation: Ne … jamais means never. After a negative, the partitive becomes de (de viande).
5Choose the correct partitive article: « Je voudrais _____ eau, s'il vous plaît. »
A.de l'
B.du
C.de la
D.des
Explanation: Eau is feminine singular starting with a vowel sound, so the partitive is de l' (de l'eau).
6Which sentence correctly uses a direct object pronoun?
A.Je le vois demain.
B.Je lui vois demain.
C.Je y vois demain.
D.Je en vois demain.
Explanation: Le replaces a masculine singular direct object (e.g. mon ami). Lui is indirect; y and en have different uses.
7Complete with the correct future tense form: « Demain, nous _____ en France. » (partir)
A.partirons
B.partons
C.sommes partis
D.partions
Explanation: Futur simple of partir: nous partirons (stem partir- + -ons).
8Which question form is appropriately polite with a stranger?
A.Pourriez-vous m'indiquer la gare, s'il vous plaît ?
B.Où est la gare, toi ?
C.Dis-moi où est la gare !
D.Tu vas me dire où est la gare ?
Explanation: Pourriez-vous + s'il vous plaît uses conditional and vous — appropriate formal register with a stranger.
9Choose the correct comparative: « Ce livre est _____ intéressant que l'autre. »
A.plus
B.le plus
C.aussi de
D.meilleur
Explanation: Plus … que forms the comparative of superiority with adjectives: plus intéressant que.
10Which sentence uses the correct possessive adjective for « Marie and her books »?
A.Marie cherche ses livres.
B.Marie cherche son livres.
C.Marie cherche sa livres.
D.Marie cherche leur livres.
Explanation: Possessive adjectives agree with the possessed noun. Livres is plural, so ses (her books).
