Si on passe trop de temps au soleil on peut attraper un coup de soleil.
- A.
Oui
- B.
Non
Correct Answer
A. OuiExplanation
Si on passe trop de temps au soleil, il est possible d'attraper un coup de soleil. Le coup de soleil est une brûlure de la peau causée par une exposition excessive aux rayons ultraviolets du soleil. Les rayons UV peuvent endommager les cellules de la peau et provoquer une inflammation, entraînant des rougeurs, des douleurs et des cloques. Il est donc important de se protéger du soleil en utilisant une crème solaire, en portant des vêtements protecteurs et en évitant de rester trop longtemps exposé aux rayons du soleil.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. A misExplanation
The correct answer is "a mis." In this sentence, "Elle" is the subject and "son maillot de bain" is the direct object. The verb "mettre" means "to put" or "to wear" in this context. Since "Elle" is singular, the correct form of the verb in the passé composé is "a mis."Rate this question:

- A.
A dis
- B.

Correct Answer
D. Avez ditExplanation
The correct answer is "avez dit" because the question is asking for the past tense (passé composé) of the verb "dire" (to say). In French, the auxiliary verb "avoir" is used with most verbs in the passé composé. Therefore, "avez" is the correct form of "avoir" conjugated for the subject "vous" (you). The past participle of "dire" is "dit," which remains unchanged in this case.Rate this question:

- A.
A pris
- B.

D. Ont prisExplanation
The correct answer is "ont pris". In the sentence, "Ils" is the subject which is the third person plural pronoun. The verb "prendre" needs to be conjugated in the passé composé tense to match the subject. In this tense, the auxiliary verb "avoir" is used, and it needs to be conjugated in the third person plural form, which is "ont". Therefore, the correct conjugation is "ont pris", meaning "they took".Rate this question:

The correct answer is "ont appris". In the context of the sentence, "Ils" is the subject, which is plural. The verb "apprendre" means "to learn" and in the passé composé tense, it requires the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have). Since the subject is plural, the correct form of "avoir" is "ont". Therefore, the correct conjugation is "ont appris", which translates to "they have learned" in English.Rate this question:

- A.
Suis vu
- B.

The correct answer is "ai vu". In French, the passé composé is formed with the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is "voir" (to see) and its past participle is "vu". Since "voir" is a transitive verb, it requires the auxiliary verb "avoir". Therefore, the correct form is "ai vu", which means "I have seen".Rate this question:

In French, the auxiliary verb "avoir" is used with "lire" in the passé composé, and the past participle of "lire" is "lu." Therefore, "as lu" is the correct form.Rate this question:

- A.

- B.

- C.
Bu
- D.
Boit
Correct Answer
A. Avons buExplanation
The correct answer is "avons bu". In French, the verb "boire" (to drink) is conjugated as "avoir bu" in the passé composé tense. The auxiliary verb "avoir" is conjugated in the present tense according to the subject "nous" (we), and the past participle "bu" remains unchanged. Therefore, "avons bu" is the correct conjugation for "nous avons bu beaucoup d'eau" (we have drunk a lot of water).Rate this question:

The correct negative response to the question "Il dit quelque chose?" is "Il ne dit rien." This means "He is not saying anything."

This is because the question is asking if you see someone, and the correct response is to say that you don't see anyone. "Non, je vois quelqu'un" means "No, I see someone" which is not a negative response. "Non, je ne vois jamais" means "No, I never see" which is not a direct response to the question.Rate this question:

- D.
A montée
Correct Answer
A. Est montéExplanation
In this question, we are asked to complete the sentence using the correct form of the verb "monter" in the passé composé tense. The subject of the sentence is not provided, so we can assume that it is a masculine singular noun or pronoun. The correct form is "est monté" which agrees with a masculine singular subject. This form is used when the subject is a masculine singular noun or pronoun and is followed by the auxiliary verb "être" in the passé composé tense. Therefore, the correct answer is "est monté".Rate this question:

Les amis ____________________ au bord de la mer. (arriver, passé composé)
- A.
Sont arrivé
- B.
Sommes arrivé
- C.
Sont arrivés
- D.
Ont arrivé
Correct Answer
C. Sont arrivésExplanation
The correct answer is "sont arrivés". In French, the verb "arriver" (to arrive) is conjugated with the auxiliary verb "être" (to be) in the passé composé tense. Since "les amis" is a plural subject, the past participle "arrivé" needs to agree in gender and number with the subject. In this case, "arrivé" needs to be in the plural form, which is "arrivés". Therefore, the correct conjugation is "sont arrivés".Rate this question:

Je _____________________ aux États-Unis. (naître, passé composé)
- A.
Suis né
- B.
Ai né
- C.
Suis nu
Correct Answer
A. Suis néExplanation
The correct answer is "suis né." In French, the verb "naître" (to be born) is conjugated with the auxiliary verb "être" (to be) in the passé composé tense. Since the subject of the sentence is "je" (I), we use the first person singular form of the auxiliary verb "être," which is "suis." The past participle of "naître" is "né," so the correct conjugation is "suis né."Rate this question:
