The given correct answer "faites" is the conjugated form of the verb "faire" in the second person plural form. In French, "faire" means "to do" or "to make". The verb is conjugated differently depending on the subject pronoun and tense. In this case, "vous" is the subject pronoun for the second person plural, which corresponds to "you all" in English. Therefore, the correct conjugation is "faites".

18.
Je vais _____boulangerie.
Explanation
The correct answer is "à la". In French, the preposition "à" is used to indicate movement or direction towards a place, and "la" is the feminine definite article used before a feminine noun. In this sentence, "boulangerie" is a feminine noun, so we use "à la" to indicate going to the bakery.
19.
Je vais _______supermarché.
Explanation
The correct answer is "au" because it is a contraction of "à" (preposition indicating location) and "le" (definite article for masculine singular nouns). In this case, "supermarché" is a masculine singular noun, so we use "au" to indicate "at the supermarket".
20.
Je vais ______magasins.
Explanation
The correct answer is "aux" because it is the contraction of the preposition "à" and the plural article "les". In this sentence, "Je vais aux magasins" means "I am going to the stores" in English.
21.
Je vais ______école.
Explanation
The correct answer is "à l'". In French, when a word starting with a vowel or a silent h follows a preposition ending with a vowel, the preposition is contracted with the word. In this case, the preposition "à" is contracted with the article "le" to form "l'". Therefore, the correct phrase is "à l'école", which means "to the school".
22.
Je viens _____piscine.
Explanation
The correct answer is "de la" because in French, the preposition "de" is used to indicate the origin or source of something. In this case, "de la" indicates that the speaker is coming from the swimming pool.
23.
Je viens ______boutiques.
Explanation
The correct answer is "des". In French, the word "des" is used to indicate an indefinite quantity or number of something. In this context, it suggests that the speaker is going to multiple or several boutiques.
24.
Je viens _____hôtel.
Explanation
The correct answer is "de l'". This is because in French, when the noun following the preposition "de" starts with a vowel or a silent "h", the contraction "de l'" is used instead of "de le" or "de la". In this case, the noun "hôtel" starts with a silent "h", so we use "de l'" to indicate "of the hotel" or "from the hotel".
25.
Je viens ______magasin.
Explanation
The correct answer is "du" because it is the contraction of the preposition "de" and the article "le". In this context, it indicates that the speaker is coming from a specific store or shop.
