1In the sentence: « Les mangues que nous avons récoltées à Gaya sont délicieuses », what is the exact grammatical function of the subordinate clause « que nous avons récoltées à Gaya »?

A.Sujet du verbe « sont »

B.Complément d'objet direct du verbe « sont »

C.Complément de l'antécédent « les mangues »

D.Complément circonstanciel de lieu

Explanation: The clause « que nous avons récoltées à Gaya » is an adjective relative clause (proposition subordonnée relative) introduced by the relative pronoun « que ». Its grammatical function is complement of the antecedent (complément de l'antécédent) « les mangues ». In French grammar, a relative clause always determines and completes its antecedent noun or pronoun.

2In the sentence: « Le ministre de l'Éducation annonce que les résultats du BEPC seront proclamés demain », what is the grammatical nature of the subordinate clause introduced by « que »?

A.Proposition subordonnée relative

B.Proposition subordonnée circonstancielle de temps

C.Proposition subordonnée circonstancielle de conséquence

D.Proposition subordonnée complétive

Explanation: « Que les résultats du BEPC seront proclamés demain » is a noun clause (proposition subordonnée complétive conjonctive). It is introduced by the subordinating conjunction « que » and serves as the direct object complement (COD) of the transitive declarative verb « annonce ». Unlike relative clauses, it does not refer back to any preceding noun antecedent.

3Which of the following sentences contains a subordinate clause expressing cause (circonstancielle de cause)?

A.Il fait tellement chaud à Bilma que les rues sont désertes à midi.

B.Les élèves révisent avec rigueur pour qu'ils obtiennent leur brevet.

C.Bien que la saison sèche soit rude, les habitants poursuivent leurs travaux quotidiens.

D.Comme la saison des pluies a commencé à Maradi, les agriculteurs sèment le mil.

Explanation: In « Comme la saison des pluies a commencé à Maradi, les agriculteurs sèment le mil », the clause introduced by « Comme » placed at the head of the sentence expresses the cause of the farmers' action. In French, « comme » placed at the beginning of a sentence regularly introduces a causal subordinate clause. The cause explains the reason for the main clause action.

4Identify the sentence that contains a subordinate clause expressing consequence (circonstancielle de conséquence).

A.Le voyageur presse le pas afin d'atteindre Agadez avant le crépuscule.

B.Si la crue du fleuve Niger se maintient, les cultures de décrue seront prospères.

C.Puisque tu as bien révisé ta géographie du Niger, tu réussiras sans difficulté.

D.L'harmattan soufflait avec une telle violence que les vols vers Niamey ont été suspendus.

Explanation: In « L'harmattan soufflait avec une telle violence que les vols vers Niamey ont été suspendus », the correlative structure « une telle... que » introduces a subordinate clause of consequence. It indicates the practical result of the wind's extraordinary intensity. Such correlative structures are a central topic in the classe de 3ème French syllabus.

5Which subordinating conjunction introduces a clause of purpose (circonstancielle de but) and obligatorily requires the subjunctive mood?

A.Parce que

B.Aussitôt que

C.Tandis que

D.Pour que

Explanation: The subordinating conjunction « pour que » (and its synonym « afin que ») expresses aim or objective and systematically governs the subjunctive mood (e.g., « pour qu'il vienne »). The action in a purpose clause is aimed for but not yet accomplished, which logically triggers the subjunctive mood in French. Other conjunctions of cause or time take the indicative mood.

6In French grammar, which of the following temporal subordinating conjunctions must be followed by a verb in the subjunctive mood?

A.Pendant que

B.Dès que

C.Après que

D.Avant que

Explanation: « Avant que » denotes posteriority from the viewpoint of the main clause, meaning the event in the subordinate clause has not yet occurred and remains hypothetical; it therefore requires the subjunctive mood (e.g., « avant qu'il ne parte »). In contrast, « après que » indicates that the event is completed in reality and strictly requires the indicative mood in standard normative French.

7Which of the following sentences features a subordinate clause expressing concession or opposition (circonstancielle de concession)?

A.Quoique le trajet vers Arlit soit difficile et éprouvant, les camions acheminent le ravitaillement.

B.Dès que le soleil se couche sur le fleuve, la brise rafraîchit l'atmosphère de Niamey.

C.Les greniers de Zinder sont pleins car les récoltes de niébé ont été excellentes.

D.Le vétérinaire vaccine le cheptel afin d'éviter la propagation des épizooties.

Explanation: In « Quoique le trajet vers Arlit soit difficile et éprouvant, les camions acheminent le ravitaillement », the subordinate clause introduced by « Quoique » (+ subjonctif « soit ») expresses concession. Concession presents an obstacle or circumstance that would normally prevent the action of the main clause, yet the main action occurs anyway. « Quoique » is synonymous with « bien que ».

8What is the correct passive voice transformation of the active sentence: « Les artisans de Tahoua fabriquent de superbes croix d'Agadez »?

A.De superbes croix d'Agadez étaient fabriquées par les artisans de Tahoua.

B.Les artisans de Tahoua ont fabriqué de superbes croix d'Agadez.

C.De superbes croix d'Agadez ont été fabriquées par les artisans de Tahoua.

D.De superbes croix d'Agadez sont fabriquées par les artisans de Tahoua.

Explanation: The active verb « fabriquent » is in the present indicative (présent de l'indicatif). In passive voice, the auxiliary « être » must take this exact tense (« sont »), followed by the past participle agreeing in gender and number with the new feminine plural subject (« fabriquées »): « De superbes croix d'Agadez sont fabriquées par les artisans de Tahoua ». Tense consistency is essential during voice transformations.

9What is the correct active voice equivalent of: « Ce pont sur le fleuve Niger a été construit par une entreprise locale »?

A.Une entreprise locale construisait ce pont sur le fleuve Niger.

B.Une entreprise locale construit ce pont sur le fleuve Niger.

C.Une entreprise locale construira ce pont sur le fleuve Niger.

D.Une entreprise locale a construit ce pont sur le fleuve Niger.

Explanation: The passive verb « a été construit » is in the passé composé. To convert to active voice, the agent complement « une entreprise locale » becomes the grammatical subject, and the transitive verb must be conjugated in the passé composé (« a construit »), with the former passive subject becoming the direct object (« ce pont »).

10Convert the following sentence to indirect speech: Moussa a déclaré : « Je révise mes cours de sciences chaque soir. »

A.Moussa a déclaré qu'il révisera ses cours de sciences chaque soir.

B.Moussa a déclaré qu'il a révisé ses cours de sciences chaque soir.

C.Moussa a déclaré qu'il révisait ses cours de sciences chaque soir.

D.Moussa a déclaré qu'il révise ses cours de sciences chaque soir.

Explanation: When the introductory reporting verb is in a past tense (« a déclaré », passé composé), the tenses of the reported speech undergo concordance of tenses (concordance des temps). A present indicative verb (« je révise ») transforms into the imperfect indicative (« il révisait »), and first-person possessive adjectives (« mes ») change to third-person (« ses »).

BEPC Niger: Suggested Study Strategy

1Work through past BEPC papers from your collège under timed conditions, starting with the French rédaction.

2In French, practise reported speech, passive transformations and past-participle agreement until they are automatic.

3In mathematics, drill factorization with remarkable identities, Thales and Pythagoras problems, and linear systems set in everyday contexts.

4In physical sciences, always write the formula, substitute with units and check the order of magnitude (P = mg, U = RI, E = Pt).

5Revise Niger's history from the Songhai Empire to independence, its neighbours and climate zones, and the duties of a citizen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Niger BEPC a multiple-choice exam?

No. The BEPC is a set of written papers in French, opening with the French rédaction. This bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation for revising knowledge; French items keep their French examples because the French language is what is being tested.

Who organizes the BEPC in Niger?

The Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale, de l'Alphabétisation et de la Promotion des Langues Nationales. In 2026 the Minister launched the written papers on 25 June in Tillabéri, with 119,865 candidates registered in 383 centres nationwide.

What are the subject coefficients and the pass mark?

The Ministry's public announcements for the 2026 session do not publish subject coefficients, paper durations or the admission threshold, so this page does not state them. Ask your collège for the current regulations.
