3. Je __ de Calgary

Explanation

The correct answer is "suis." In French, the verb "être" (to be) is used to indicate identity or state of being. In this sentence, the subject "je" (I) is followed by the verb "suis" (am), which means "I am." Therefore, the sentence translates to "I am from Calgary."

Explanation

The correct answer is "es" because it is the correct form of the verb "ser" (to be) in the third person singular form. In this sentence, "es" is used to indicate that the subject "tu" (you) is the one who possesses or has the quality of being victorious.

5. Nous __ canadiens.

Explanation

The correct answer is "sommes" because it is the correct conjugation of the verb "être" (to be) in the first person plural form. In this sentence, "nous" is the subject and "canadiens" is the adjective describing us, so we use the verb "être" to connect the subject and the adjective.

Submit
6. Nous___ d'Ottawa.

Explanation

The correct answer is "sommes". This is because the sentence is asking for the correct form of the verb "to be" in French. In this case, the subject "nous" (we) requires the verb "être" (to be) to be conjugated in the first person plural form, which is "sommes".

Submit
7. Ils ___ americains?

Explanation

The correct answer for this question is "sont" because it agrees with the subject "Ils," which is the plural form of "il" (he) in French. "Sont" is the conjugated form of the verb "être" (to be) for the third person plural. Therefore, the sentence translates to "Are they American?" in English.

Submit

The correct answer is "est" because it is the correct form of the verb "être" (to be) in the third person singular (she/he is) in French.

Submit
9. Il ___ d' Edmonton

Explanation

The correct answer is "est" because it completes the sentence "Il ___ d'Edmonton" meaning "He is from Edmonton" in French. "Est" is the third person singular form of the verb "être" which means "to be" in English.
