2. Je voudrais dormir sans que tu m'____________(embêter).

Explanation

The correct answer is "embêtes". In this sentence, "Je voudrais dormir sans que tu m'embêtes" translates to "I would like to sleep without you bothering me." The verb "embêter" means "to bother" or "to annoy" in English. In this context, it is conjugated in the second person singular form, "tu embêtes," to match the subject "tu" (you).

Submit
3. Nous devons acheter cette voiture avant que le prix __________(changer).

Explanation

The correct answer is "change" because it is the correct form of the verb "changer" to fit the sentence structure. In this sentence, "avant que" is used to express a future action, so the verb that follows should be in the present subjunctive form. "Change" is the correct form of the verb for the third person singular (il/elle/on) in the present subjunctive tense.

Submit
4. Il est douteux que tu___________(ouvrir) la fenêtre hier matin.

Explanation

The correct answer is "aies ouvert". This is the correct conjugation of the verb "ouvrir" in the subjunctive form, which is used to express doubt or uncertainty. In this sentence, "Il est douteux que tu" indicates doubt, and "aies ouvert" is the correct form to use in this context.

Submit
5. Je regarderai la télé jusqu'à ce que tu ________(arriver).

Explanation

The correct answer is "arrives" because the verb "regarderai" (I will watch) is in the future tense, and when using the conjunction "jusqu'à ce que" (until), the following verb should be in the subjunctive mood. In this case, the subjunctive form of "arriver" (to arrive) is "arrives".

Submit
6. Marc est parti sans _________(finir) son soda.

Explanation

Marc est parti sans finir son soda. (Marc left without finishing his soda.) The correct answer is "finir" because it is the infinitive form of the verb, which is used after "sans" to indicate an action that was not completed.

Submit
7. Je parle pour que tu ___________(comprendre).

Explanation

The given sentence is in the present tense and the subject "je" is used, indicating the first person singular. In French, when using the verb "parler" (to speak) in order to express a purpose, we need to use the conjunction "pour que" followed by the subjunctive form of the verb. In this case, the correct subjunctive form of "comprendre" for the subject "tu" is "comprennes". Therefore, the correct answer is "comprennes".

Submit
8. Je suis content que tu __________(pouvoir) venir à ma fête demain.

Explanation

The correct answer is "puisses." In this sentence, the verb "pouvoir" is in the subjunctive form because it expresses a desire or a wish. The subject "tu" requires the second person singular form of the verb, which is "puisses." This form is used to indicate the ability or possibility of coming to the party tomorrow.

Submit
9. Je ne pense pas que tu _________(rater) le bus le week-end dernier.

Explanation

The correct answer is "aies raté". This is because the sentence is in the negative form and requires the use of the subjunctive mood. In French, when expressing doubt or disbelief, the subjunctive is used after certain expressions, such as "ne pense pas que" (do not think that). The correct conjugation of the verb "rater" in the subjunctive mood for the second person singular is "aies raté".

Submit
10. Je suis certain que Paul __________(aller) en France la semaine dernière.

Explanation

The correct answer is "est allé." This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the subject "Paul" is masculine singular. In French, the verb "aller" (to go) is conjugated as "je suis allé" in the past tense for a male subject. Therefore, "est allé" is the correct conjugation for "Paul" in this sentence.

Submit
11. Il est possible que tu ________(revenir) en avance ce soir.

Explanation

The correct answer is "reviennes" because it matches the subject "tu" and the verb "revenir" in the present subjunctive tense. In this sentence, there is a possibility that "tu" will come back early tonight.

Submit
12. Je suis sûr que vous___________(manger) trop hier soir.

Explanation

The correct answer is "avez mangé". This is because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "vous" is plural, indicating that the correct verb form should be in the second person plural. The verb "avoir" (to have) is conjugated in the present tense as "avez" for the second person plural. The past participle of the verb "manger" (to eat) is "mangé", so the correct answer is "avez mangé" which means "you have eaten".

Submit
13. Je suis triste que tu______________(prendre) l'avion demain matin.

Explanation

The correct answer is "prennes" because it is the second person singular form of the verb "prendre" in the present subjunctive tense. In this sentence, the speaker is expressing their sadness or disappointment about the fact that the person they are addressing will be taking the plane tomorrow morning.

Submit
14. Je crois que vous ____________(descendre) dans la cave hier soir.

Explanation

The correct answer is "êtes descendu." This is because the verb "descendre" is in the past tense, and when using the auxiliary verb "être" in the passé composé, the past participle of "descendre" must agree in gender and number with the subject. In this case, the subject is "vous," which is a second person plural pronoun, so the past participle must be in the masculine plural form, which is "descendu."

Submit
15. Je doute que tu ___________(finir) tes devoirs hier soir.

Explanation

The correct answer is "aies fini" because the sentence is expressing doubt or uncertainty about whether the person finished their homework last night. In French, when using the verb "douter que" (to doubt that) or similar expressions, we use the subjunctive mood. In this case, the subjunctive form of the verb "finir" (to finish) is "aies fini" which agrees with the second person singular pronoun "tu" (you).

Submit
16. Je suis certain que Marc _______(vendre) sa maison l'été prochain.

Explanation

The correct answer is "vend". This is because the sentence is in the present tense and "vend" is the correct conjugation of the verb "vendre" for the subject "Marc".

Submit
17. Il est évident que Marie____________(sortir) souvent.

Explanation

The correct answer is "sort". This is the correct conjugation of the verb "sortir" in the present tense for the third person singular form, which agrees with the subject "Marie". It indicates that Marie goes out often.

Submit
18. J'espère que nous ______________(pouvoir) finir projet avant demain.

Explanation

The correct answer is "pouvons". In this sentence, the verb "pouvoir" is used in the present tense to express the hope or possibility of finishing the project before tomorrow. Therefore, the correct form of the verb is "pouvons" which is the first person plural form of the present tense.

Submit
19. Je dois finir le projet avant de__________(se coucher).

Explanation

The correct answer is "me coucher". In this sentence, the verb "coucher" is reflexive and requires the reflexive pronoun "me" before it. "Se coucher" means "to go to bed" in English. Therefore, the correct phrase is "me coucher" which translates to "go to bed" in English.

Submit
20. Je suis ravi que Marie __________(mettre) la table pour diner. Nous pouvons manger maintenant.

Explanation

The correct answer is "ait mis". This is the correct conjugation of the verb "mettre" in the subjunctive past tense. The sentence is expressing a feeling of satisfaction or happiness that Marie has set the table for dinner, indicating a hypothetical or uncertain action.
