Hier soir je ___________________(se laver)
- A.
Me suis lavé
- B.
M'ai lavé
- C.
Me lave
- D.
S'est lavé
Correct Answer
A. Me suis lavéExplanation
The correct answer is "me suis lavé". In French, reflexive verbs are used to indicate that the subject is performing the action on themselves. In this case, the subject "je" (I) is performing the action of "se laver" (to wash oneself). The reflexive pronoun "me" (myself) is used before the verb "suis" (am) to indicate that the subject is performing the action on themselves. The past participle "lavé" (washed) agrees in gender and number with the subject "je". Therefore, the correct form is "me suis lavé".Rate this question:

Hier soir nous _______(se coucher) tôt.
Correct Answer
nous sommes couchésExplanation
The correct answer is "nous sommes couchés" because the verb "se coucher" is reflexive and requires the auxiliary verb "être" in the past tense. "Nous" is the subject pronoun for "we" and "sommes" is the conjugated form of the verb "être" in the present tense. "Couchés" is the past participle of "se coucher" and agrees in gender and number with the subject "nous". Therefore, the correct translation is "we went to bed".Rate this question:

In this sentence, the subject "Marie" is performing the action of brushing her teeth. The verb "se brosser" is a reflexive verb, indicating that the subject is also the object of the action. Since "Marie" is a singular female subject, the correct form of the verb is "s'est brossé" in the past tense. This means that Marie brushed her teeth.Rate this question:

Hier Paul et Luc ______________(se raser)
Correct Answer
se sont rasésExplanation
The correct answer is "se sont rasés." This is the correct conjugation of the reflexive verb "se raser" in the passé composé tense for the subject pronouns "Paul et Luc." The reflexive pronoun "se" agrees with the subject pronouns, and the auxiliary verb "être" is used to form the compound tense. Therefore, "se sont rasés" is the correct form of the verb in this sentence.Rate this question:

In this case, both Claire and Anne are the subjects and they are shaving their own legs. Since Claire and Anne are both female, the correct form of the verb in the past tense is "se sont rasé" to agree with the plural subject.Rate this question:

Hier matin Sophie ______________(se réveiller) à 7h
Correct Answer
s'est réveilléeExplanation
The correct answer is "s'est réveillée". In French, when talking about someone's actions or states, we use reflexive verbs. In this case, "se réveiller" is the reflexive form of the verb "réveiller". Since the subject of the sentence is Sophie, we use the reflexive pronoun "se" before the verb. Additionally, since Sophie is a female, we use the feminine form of the verb, which is "réveillée". Therefore, the correct form is "s'est réveillée", meaning "she woke up".Rate this question:

Hier tu (f) _____________(se laver)
Correct Answer
t'es lavéExplanation
The correct answer is "t'es lavé" because it matches the subject "tu" (you) and the past participle "lavé" (washed) agrees in gender and number with the subject. In this case, since the subject is feminine, the past participle also takes the feminine form.Rate this question:

Hier je (f) _________________(se laver) les cheveux
Correct Answer
me suis lavéExplanation
The correct answer is "me suis lavé" because the subject of the sentence is "je" (I) and the reflexive verb "se laver" (to wash oneself) agrees with the subject. In this case, the verb is conjugated in the first person singular form "suis" (am) and the reflexive pronoun "me" (myself) is placed before the verb. Therefore, the correct sentence is "Hier je me suis lavé les cheveux" which means "Yesterday I washed my hair."Rate this question:

Hier Claire et Anne _____________(se reposer)
Correct Answer
se sont reposéesExplanation
In this sentence, the subject "Claire et Anne" is performing the action of "se reposer" which means "to rest" in English. Since the subject is plural and feminine, the correct past participle form of the verb is "reposées". Therefore, the correct answer is "se sont reposées".Rate this question:
