French 2 Review Packet

The phrase "à la" is a French expression that means "in the style of" or "according to." It is commonly used in English to refer to something that is done or prepared in a particular way, often associated with French cuisine or fashion. For example, "à la mode" means "in the fashion" and is used to describe a dish served with ice cream. In this case, the correct answer is "à la" as it completes the phrase and maintains the correct meaning.

The correct answer is "connaissons". This is the first person plural conjugation of the verb "connaître" in the present tense. It means "we know" in English.

The correct answer is "déjà". The word "déjà" means "already" in English. In the given sentence, it is used to ask if the person has already visited the zoo in Vincennes. This suggests that the speaker is curious about whether the person has had the experience of visiting the zoo before.

The correct answer is "écris". In the sentence, the subject is "je" which corresponds to the singular first-person pronoun "I" in English. When conjugating the verb "écrire" (to write) in the present tense for the first-person singular form, we use the ending "-is". Therefore, the correct form is "j'écris" which translates to "I write" or "I am writing" in English.

The correct answer is "du". In this dialogue, the speaker is asking if the person wants some chicken. The partitive article "du" is used to indicate an unspecified quantity of a mass noun, in this case, chicken. The definite article "le" would imply a specific chicken, which is not the intended meaning in this context.

The correct answer is "leur, les". In this sentence, "vous" is the subject and it is referring to multiple people. "Leur" is the correct pronoun to use because it means "to them" or "their" and it agrees with the plural subject "vous". "Les" is the correct pronoun to use because it means "them" and it agrees with the plural object "vous".

The correct answer is "Pendant". In this sentence, the phrase "Pendant la visite" means "During the visit". The speaker is expressing their intention to take photos during the visit. The word "Pendant" is used to indicate a duration of time in which an action takes place. Therefore, it is the appropriate word to complete the sentence in this context.

The correct answer for conjugating the verb "faire" is as follows:
- je fais
- tu fais
- il fait
- nous faisons
- vous faites
- ils font

This is the correct conjugation of the verb "faire" in the present tense for each subject pronoun.

In this sentence, the speaker is referring to themselves and saying that they will call the person tomorrow. The correct pronoun to use in this context is "moi," which means "me" or "myself" in English. The pronoun "me" is incorrect because it is used as an object pronoun, whereas "moi" is used as a subject pronoun in this sentence.

The correct answer is "nettoyer" because it means "to clean" in French, and the sentence is asking for an action to be done to the speaker's room.

In this sentence, the speaker is talking about inviting their friends to a party and asking them to bring CDs. The pronoun "les" is used to refer to the friends (mes copains), indicating that the speaker invited them. The pronoun "leur" is used to indicate that the speaker asked their friends to bring CDs. Therefore, the correct answer is "les, leur" as it correctly reflects the use of pronouns in the sentence.

In this sentence, the speaker is saying that they lent their notes to someone, but that person did not return them. The pronoun "me" indicates that the speaker is referring to themselves as the person who lent the notes. The pronoun "les" refers to the notes that were lent. So, "me les" correctly translates to "them to me" in English, indicating that the person did not return the notes to the speaker.

The correct answer is the conjugation of the verb "être" in the present tense. "Suis" is the first person singular form (je), "es" is the second person singular form (tu), "est" is the third person singular form (il), "sommes" is the first person plural form (nous), "êtes" is the second person plural form (vous), and "sont" is the third person plural form (ils).

The correct answer is "s'est blessée" because the sentence indicates that Elle got injured while playing football. In French, when talking about reflexive actions, we use the reflexive pronoun "se" before the verb. In this case, "blesser" is the verb meaning "to injure" and "s'est" is the reflexive pronoun indicating that the action happened to Elle herself. Therefore, the correct form is "s'est blessée" which means "she got injured."

In this sentence, the speaker is expressing their preference for a specific chocolate cake. The word "le" is the definite article in French, which is used before a noun to indicate that it is a specific item. Therefore, "le" is the correct choice to complete the sentence and convey the intended meaning.

The correct answer is "personne" because the sentence is negating the action of waiting. In French, when negating a verb, the word "personne" is used instead of "quelqu'un" or "une personne". So, the sentence translates to "No, I am not waiting for anyone."

The correct answer is "dois / dois / doit / devons / devez / doivent". This is the conjugation of the verb "devoir" (to have to) in the present tense for each subject pronoun. "Je" and "tu" both take the form "dois", "il" takes "doit", "nous" takes "devons", "vous" takes "devez", and "ils" takes "doivent".

The correct answer is "aux" because it is the contracted form of the preposition "à" followed by the plural article "les". In this sentence, "des écrivains" means "some writers" and "aux" indicates that the writers are from a specific origin or location.

The question is asking what Antoine is waiting for at the café. The correct answer is "quelqu'un" which means "someone" in English. This is the logical choice because Antoine is meeting Zoë at the café, so he would be waiting for someone to arrive.

In this sentence, "Léa et Zoé" is the subject and "se sont amusées" is the verb phrase. The reflexive pronoun "se" indicates that the action of "s'amuser" is being done by the subject to themselves. The verb "sont" is the auxiliary verb in the passé composé tense, indicating that the action happened in the past. The past participle "amusées" agrees with the subject in gender and number, indicating that both Léa and Zoé are female and plural. Therefore, the correct answer is "se sont amusées."

In this sentence, the correct answer is "l'". This is because "l'" is the contraction of "le" before a vowel sound. In this context, it is used before the word "élèves" to indicate that the students are listening. The second blank space is not provided, but based on the context, it can be inferred that the correct word to fill it would be "se". Therefore, the complete sentence would be "Les élèves l'écoutent. Ils se demandent des conseils." which translates to "The students are listening to him/her. They are asking for advice."

The correct answer is "dites". In this sentence, the verb "dire" is conjugated in the second person plural form of the imperative mood. It is used to give a command or make a request to a group of people. Therefore, "dites" is the correct form of the verb to use in this context.

The correct answer is "me promene" because it is the correct reflexive verb form that matches with the subject "Je" and expresses the action of walking. The sentence translates to "I like to walk. I often walk in this park."

The correct answer is "se sont promenés". In French, the reflexive verb "se promener" means "to take a walk" or "to go for a walk". The subject of the sentence, "mes cousins", is plural, so the correct form of the verb in the passé composé is "se sont promenés". This form agrees with the subject in both gender and number. Therefore, the sentence translates to "My cousins went for a walk in the countryside."

The correct answer is "la". In French, the phrase "Bien sûr que je la connais" means "Of course I know her." The word "la" is used here as a direct object pronoun, referring to a feminine noun that is being known or recognized.

When I am wrong, I apologize.

The correct answer is "vous lavez" because it means "you wash" in English. The verb "laver" means to wash, and the pronoun "vous" indicates that the subject of the sentence is the second person plural, meaning multiple people. Therefore, the sentence translates to "You wash your hands before dinner."

The person has already seen the movie "Fantômas" before.

Paul has a "0" because he forgot to do his homework at home.

The correct answer is "envoie" because it is the correct conjugation of the verb "envoyer" in the first person singular form. The sentence is saying "I send a letter to my parents."

The correct answer is "prochain" because it means "next" in French. The question is asking "Are we going on Saturday next?" which implies going on the upcoming Saturday.

In this sentence, the correct answer is "la". The phrase "Non, je n'aime pas la viande" translates to "No, I don't like meat". The word "la" is used to indicate that the speaker does not like "the" meat in general.

The correct answer is "tous" because "gâteaux" is a masculine plural noun in French, and "tous" is the masculine plural form of the adjective "tout". Therefore, the sentence should be "Frédéric a fini tous les gâteaux," which translates to "Frédéric finished all the cakes."

In this sentence, the correct answer is "rien". The sentence is negating the speaker's experience of being there. The word "jamais" means "never" and "rien" means "nothing". However, "jamais" is not used in this context because it is used to negate a verb, while "rien" is used to negate a noun. Therefore, "rien" is the appropriate word to use in this sentence to convey the meaning of "I have never been there".

In this sentence, the speaker is asking why the person wants to see something. The word "la" is the correct choice because it is a direct object pronoun that replaces a feminine noun. Since the noun being replaced is not specified in the sentence, it is unclear what exactly the person wants to see.

The correct answer is "du". In French, when talking about a specific quantity of something, we use the partitive article "du" for masculine singular nouns. In this case, "saumon" is a masculine singular noun, so we use "du" to indicate an unspecified amount or quantity of salmon.

This question is testing knowledge of reflexive verbs in French. The correct answer is "se lèvent," which means "get up" in English. This reflexive verb is used to describe the action of the subject (parents) performing the action on themselves (getting up).

The correct answer is "le, l'". In French, "le" is used before a masculine singular noun, while "l'" is used before a singular noun beginning with a vowel or silent "h". In this sentence, "le" is used before "nous" because it is a masculine singular pronoun, and "l'" is used before "avons" because it begins with a vowel.

The correct answer is "nous sommes levés". In the passé composé, the auxiliary verb "être" is used with reflexive verbs. The verb "lever" is a reflexive verb in this sentence, so it requires the auxiliary verb "être" in its conjugation. "Nous sommes levés" is the correct conjugation of "se lever" in the passé composé for the subject pronoun "nous".

The correct answer is "se depeche" because it means "rushes". Julien rushes because he wants to be on time.

The correct answer is "rien" because it completes the sentence "Non, je ne fais..." which means "No, I don't do..." In this case, "rien" means "nothing," indicating that the person is not doing anything.

In this sentence, the speaker is stating that they will take a cake. The word "gâteau" is a masculine noun, so the correct article to use is "un." "Du" is a contraction of "de" (meaning "some") and "le" (the definite article for masculine singular nouns), and is used when referring to an unspecified quantity of something. However, in this context, the speaker is specifically referring to taking one cake, so the correct answer is "un."

The correct answer is "lui, l'". In this sentence, "lui" is the indirect object pronoun that corresponds to Pauline, indicating that Nicholas is calling her. "l'" is the direct object pronoun that corresponds to the word "téléphone", indicating that Nicholas is inviting her to the barbecue.

MC Solaar is one of the most well-known rappers in France.

The correct answer is "s'est réposée." This is because the sentence is in the passé composé tense, which requires the reflexive verb "se reposer" to be conjugated with the auxiliary verb "être." In this case, the subject is "ma grand-mère," which is singular and feminine, so the correct conjugation is "s'est réposée."

In French, the verb "se dépêcher" means "to hurry" or "to rush." The subject of the sentence is "vous," which is the second person plural pronoun meaning "you" (informal). The correct answer is "vous êtes dépêchés" because it agrees with the subject "vous" and is in the past participle form of the verb. The alternative answer "vous êtes dépêché" is incorrect because it does not agree with the subject in number.

In this sentence, the correct answer is "de." The phrase "nous n'avons pas de pain" translates to "we do not have any bread" in English. The preposition "de" is used to indicate the absence or lack of something. In this case, it is used to show that there is no bread at home. The other option, "du," would be used if the sentence were "nous n'avons pas du pain," which would mean "we do not have some bread." However, since the sentence is talking about the lack of bread in general, "de" is the appropriate choice.

Zinedine Zidane is one of the most famous football players in France. He is well-known for his exceptional skills and achievements in the sport. Zidane has represented the French national team and has had a successful career playing for top clubs such as Juventus and Real Madrid. He has won numerous titles and awards, including the FIFA World Player of the Year three times. Zidane's talent, elegance, and leadership on the field have made him a legendary figure in French football history.

The correct answers are "me suis couché" and "me suis couchée". In French, the verb "coucher" (to go to bed) agrees with the subject in terms of gender and number. Since the subject "je" is singular and masculine, we use "me suis couché". However, if the subject were feminine, we would use "me suis couchée" instead.

The correct answer is "amène". This verb is used when you are taking someone with you to a place or an event. In this sentence, "J'amène mon copain à la fête" means "I am taking my friend to the party".
