    The word "aimer" in French translates to "to like" or "to love" in English. It is a verb that expresses affection or preference towards someone or something.

    To accomplish

    • Accomplir

    • Accompagner

    Correct Answer

    The correct answer is "accomplir". The word "accomplir" is the French translation of "to accomplish". It is the appropriate verb choice when referring to completing or achieving a task or goal.

    Many French people prefer to have the comfort of a caravan when they go camping. A caravan provides them with a mobile and convenient accommodation option, allowing them to have a comfortable and familiar space while enjoying the outdoors.

    • Est allée

    • A allée

    • A allé

    Correct Answer
    A. Est allée
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "est allée". In French, when using the verb "aller" in the passé composé (past tense), the auxiliary verb "être" is used. Since Fabienne is a girl, the past participle "allée" agrees in gender and number with the subject, so it becomes "est allée".

    • Bel

    • Belle

    • Beaux

    Correct Answer
    A. Belle
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "belle" because it agrees with the feminine noun "vue" (meaning "view") in both gender and number. "Belle" is the feminine singular form of the adjective "beau" (meaning "beautiful"), which is used to describe feminine singular nouns.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    To cross

    • Traverser

    • Tourner

    Correct Answer
    A. Traverser
    Explanation
    The word "traverser" is a French verb that means "to cross" in English. It is the most appropriate answer as it directly translates to the given word "to cross". The other options, "tourner" means "to turn" and does not match the meaning of "to cross". Therefore, "traverser" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 16.

    • Généreux

    • Généreuse

    • Généreuses

    Correct Answer
    A. Généreuse
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "généreuse" because the word "boulangère" is feminine, so the adjective that describes her should also be feminine. "Généreuse" is the feminine form of the adjective "généreux" which means generous.

    Rate this question:

    • A vu

    • A volu

    Correct Answer
    A. A vu
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "a vu" because the verb "voir" (to see) is conjugated in the passé composé tense with the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have). The correct form of "avoir" in the third person singular is "a" and the past participle of "voir" is "vu". Therefore, the correct conjugation is "a vu".

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Martine, elle, ___________________ en haut de la cathédrale. (monter)

    • Est monté

    • Est montée

    • A monté

    Correct Answer
    A. Est montée
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "est montée". In French, the verb "monter" means "to go up" or "to climb". Since the subject of the sentence is "Martine", a female, the past participle of the verb needs to agree in gender and number. In this case, the past participle "montée" is used because Martine is a female. Therefore, the correct form of the verb "monter" in this sentence is "est montée".

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    To hide

    • Casser

    • Paysage

    • Initient

    • Stages

    Correct Answer
    A. Hexagone
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Hexagone" because the question states that France is considered to have six sides, which is why it is called "Hexagone". This suggests that the shape of France is similar to a hexagon, which has six sides.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    To rub

    • Frapper

    • Frotter

    Correct Answer
    A. Frotter
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "frotter" because it means "to rub" in French. This word accurately translates the action of rubbing or applying pressure to a surface or object. The other option, "frapper," means "to hit" or "to strike," which does not convey the same meaning as "to rub." Therefore, "frotter" is the most suitable choice for the given word.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    To enjoy

    • Jouir

    • Ravir

    Correct Answer
    A. Jouir

    • Est descendue

    • Est descendu

    • Sont descendues

    • Sont descendus

    Correct Answer
    A. Sont descendues
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "sont descendues." In French, the verb "descendre" is conjugated with the auxiliary verb "être" in the passé composé tense when the subject is plural and feminine. Since "Elles" refers to a group of females, the correct form of the verb is "sont descendues."

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    Les ignorants s'intéressent à l'actualité.

    • Vrai

    • Faux

    Correct Answer
    A. Faux
    Explanation
    The statement "Les ignorants s'intéressent à l'actualité" translates to "The ignorant are interested in current affairs." The correct answer is "faux" or "false" because it is contradictory to assume that ignorant people would have a genuine interest in staying informed about current events. It is more likely that knowledgeable individuals would be more inclined to follow the news and stay updated on current affairs.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "étions". In this sentence, the verb "être" (to be) is conjugated in the imparfait tense, which is used to describe ongoing or repeated actions in the past. The subject "nous" (we) indicates that the correct form of the verb is "étions".

    Correct Answer
    A. Joli
    Explanation

    • Vieux

    • Vieilles

    • Ait

    • Aurons

    • Avions

    A. Avait
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "avait." In this sentence, we are talking about the subject "mon père" (my father) and his possession of an interesting job in the past. The verb "avoir" (to have) needs to be conjugated in the imparfait tense to match the subject. "Avait" is the correct form for the third person singular (he/she/it) in the imparfait tense.

It means that they are initiating or starting to practice the sport of windsurfing, which is quite difficult. Therefore, "initient" is the most suitable word to complete the sentence and convey the intended meaning.

    The correct answer is "a dû." In this sentence, the verb "devoir" is used in the passé composé tense, indicating a past action.

    • Est arrivé

    • Est arrivée

    • A arrivée

    Correct Answer
    A. Est arrivée
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "est arrivée." In French, when using the passé composé tense with the verb "arriver" (to arrive), we need to use the auxiliary verb "être" (to be) as the helping verb. Since the subject "Elle" is feminine, we use the feminine form of the auxiliary verb, which is "est." The past participle of "arriver" is "arrivée," which agrees in gender with the subject "Elle." Therefore, the correct form is "est arrivée."

    Rate this question:

  • 42. 

    Une profession

    • Bricoler

    • Environ

    • Allumer

    • Le repos

    • Un métier

    Correct Answer
    A. Un métier

The other words listed in the question, such as "bricoler" (to tinker), "environ" (approximately), "allumer" (to light up), and "le repos" (rest), do not have the same meaning as "un métier" and are not synonymous with "profession".

    Correct Answer
    A. Est tombée
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "est tombée." In French, the verb "tomber" (to fall) is conjugated with the auxiliary verb "être" in the passé composé tense. Since the subject of the sentence is feminine (elle), the past participle "tombée" agrees in gender and number.

    • Sondages

    • Téléspectateurs

    • Actualité

    • Faits divers

    Correct Answer
    A. Actualité
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "actualité". The question asks for the last events of the global _______________. "Actualité" is the French word for "news" or "current affairs", which refers to the latest events and developments happening around the world.

    A. Est restée
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "est restée". In French, the verb "rester" (to stay) agrees with the subject in gender and number.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sont sorties
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "sont sorties." In French, when talking about a group of female friends, the verb "sortir" needs to agree with the subject in gender and number. Since "amies" is a plural feminine noun, the past participle "sorties" also needs to be in the plural feminine form. Therefore, the correct conjugation of "sortir" in the passé composé for this sentence is "sont sorties."
