2.

Explanation

The correct answer is "la piscine" because the other options are not related to the concept of a swimming pool. "La salle de classe" means "the classroom," "la montagne" means "the mountain," and "le professeur" means "the teacher." Therefore, the only option that fits the category of a swimming pool is "la piscine."

Submit
3.

Explanation

The correct answer is "de la crème solaire". This is because "de la crème solaire" translates to "sunscreen" in English, which is an essential item to have when going to the beach or swimming in the sea. It protects the skin from harmful UV rays and helps prevent sunburn. The other options, such as "un maillot de bain" (a swimsuit), "une mer" (a sea), and "une vague" (a wave), are not directly related to the need for protection from the sun.

Submit
4.

Explanation

The given answer "la montagne" is correct because it is the only noun in the list that is feminine singular. In French, nouns have gender and number, and "la montagne" is a feminine singular noun. The other options "le garçon," "la télévision," and "la mer" are either masculine or feminine plural nouns.

Submit
5.

Explanation

The correct answer is "un anorak". This suggests that the item being referred to in the list is an anorak. An anorak is a type of outerwear commonly worn in cold weather, typically made of a waterproof material. It is often characterized by its hood and front zipper closure. The other options listed, such as "des chaussures de ski" (ski shoes), "une veste" (a jacket), and "des batons" (poles), are not relevant to the given context and do not match the description of an anorak.

Submit
6. On fait du patin à glace dans une piscine.

Explanation

Patin à glace is done on ice, not in a swimming pool. Therefore, the correct answer is "non".

Submit
7. Tu ____________________ la carte postale (lire, passé composé)

Explanation

The correct answer is "as lu" because it is the correct conjugation of the verb "lire" (to read) in the passé composé tense for the subject "tu" (you). 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.

Submit
8. Choose the correct negative response to: Il dit quelque chose?

Explanation

The correct negative response to the question "Il dit quelque chose?" is "Il ne dit rien." This means "He is not saying anything." The other options are not correct because "Oui, il dit quelque chose" means "Yes, he is saying something" and "Il ne dit jamais" means "He never says."

Submit
9.

Explanation

The correct answer is "faire du patin à glace" because it is the only option that specifically mentions ice skating. The other options mention swimming, windsurfing, and skiing, which are not related to ice skating.

Submit
10. Beaucoup de gens passent leurs vacances d'été au bord de la mer.

Explanation

This statement suggests that many people spend their summer vacations by the seaside.

Submit
11. Les skieurs débutants tombent souvent.

Explanation

The statement "Les skieurs débutants tombent souvent" translates to "Beginner skiers often fall." The answer "oui" means "yes" in French, so it is indicating that the statement is true.

Submit
12. Nous ______________________ beaucoup d'eau. (boire, passé composé)

Explanation

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).

Submit
13. Si on passe trop de temps au soleil on peut attraper un coup de soleil.

Explanation

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.

Submit
14. Ils _________________ à faire du ski. (apprendre, passé composé)

Explanation

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.

Submit
15. J'________________ un très bon film. (voir, passé composé)

Explanation

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".

Submit
16.

Explanation

The correct answer is "faire de la planche à voile" which means "to go windsurfing" in English. This is the only activity mentioned that involves using a board and the wind to navigate on water. "étudier" means "to study", "nager" means "to swim", and "faire du ski" means "to go skiing".

Submit
17. Choose the correct negative response to the question: Ils lisent souvent?

Explanation

The correct negative response to the question "Ils lisent souvent?" is "Non, ils ne lisent jamais." This response translates to "No, they never read." It is the correct answer because it directly negates the statement in the question, indicating that the subject does not engage in the activity of reading frequently or at all.

Submit
18. On met un maillot de bain pour faire du ski nautique

Explanation

The given statement is incorrect. One does not wear a swimsuit to go water skiing. Water skiing requires specialized equipment such as a wetsuit or drysuit to protect against the cold water and provide buoyancy. Wearing a swimsuit would not provide the necessary protection and support for water skiing.

Submit
19. Un moniteur donne des leçons de ski.

Explanation

The given statement "Un moniteur donne des leçons de ski" translates to "A monitor gives ski lessons" in English. The word "oui" means "yes" in French. Therefore, the correct answer "oui" confirms that the statement is true, indicating that a monitor does give ski lessons.

Submit
20. Qu'est-ce que vous ______________? (dire, passé composé)

Explanation

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.

Submit
21. Il ___________ allé dans une station de sports d'hiver.

Explanation

The correct answer is "est" because it agrees with the subject "Il," which is the third person singular form of the verb "être" (to be). In French, the verb "être" is used to indicate a state of being or to describe someone or something. In this case, "Il est allé" means "He went" or "He has gone" in English.

Submit
22. Ils ____________des leçons de natation. (prendre, passé composé)

Explanation

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".

Submit
23. Choose the correct negative response to: Tu vois quelqu'un?

Explanation

The correct negative response to "Tu vois quelqu'un?" is "Non, je ne vois personne." 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.

Submit
24. Il ____________________ jusqu'au sommet de la montagne. (monter, passé composé)

Explanation

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".

Submit
25. Elle ______________________ son maillot de bain pour aller à la plage. (mettre, passé composé)

Explanation

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."

Submit
26. Je _____________________ aux États-Unis. (naître, passé composé)

Explanation

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."

Submit
27. Il fait quel temps en hiver?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Il neige beaucoup." This is because the question is asking about the weather in winter, and the phrase "Il neige beaucoup" means "It snows a lot." This is a common weather condition in many places during the winter season.

Submit
28. Hier il ______________________ très chaud. (faire, passé composé)

Explanation

The correct answer is "a fait" because in the passé composé tense, the verb "faire" is conjugated with the auxiliary verb "avoir" and the past participle "fait." Therefore, the correct form is "a fait" which translates to "he/she/it did" in English.

Submit
29. Les amis ____________________ au bord de la mer. (arriver, passé composé)

Explanation

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".

Submit
30. Notre vol ________________ parti et arrivé à l'hôtel.

Explanation

The correct answer is "est" because it is the conjugated form of the verb "être" in the third person singular, which is used to indicate the present tense. In this sentence, "est" is used to describe the action of the flight, indicating that it "is" departed and arrived at the hotel.

Submit
31. Choose the correct negative response to the question: Tu as dit quelque chose?

Explanation

The correct negative response to the question "Tu as dit quelque chose?" is "Non, je n'ai rien dit." This translates to "No, I didn't say anything." It is the appropriate response because the question asks if the person said something, and the correct answer denies that they said anything.

Submit
32. Il fait quel temps en été?

Explanation

The question is asking about the weather in the summer. The correct answer, "Il fait chaud," means "It is hot." This is the most appropriate response for the question as it describes the typical weather during the summer season.

Submit
33. Quand il y a de la neige, il y a beaucoup de vagues sur les pistes.

Explanation

The statement "Quand il y a de la neige, il y a beaucoup de vagues sur les pistes" translates to "When there is snow, there are a lot of waves on the slopes." The correct answer "non" means "no" in French. Therefore, the correct answer indicates that the statement is not true.

Submit
34. Elle _______________________ hier soir avec ses copains. (sortir, passé composé)

Explanation

The correct answer is "est sortie." In French, the verb "sortir" is conjugated with the auxiliary verb "être" in the passé composé tense when referring to a female subject. Since "Elle" is a female pronoun, the correct form is "est sortie."

Submit
35. Tu _________________ rentré à quelle heure?

Explanation

The correct answer is "es". The question is asking "At what time do you come home?" In this context, "es" is the correct form of the verb "to be" (être) in the second person singular form, which is used when referring to "you".

Submit
36. Les skieurs prennent le télésiège pour descendre du sommet de la montagne.

Explanation

The correct answer is "non" because the sentence states that skiers take the chairlift to descend from the top of the mountain. Therefore, the statement is false as the chairlift is used to go up the mountain, not down.
