French I, Chapters 8-11 Practice

The correct answer is "le premier." This is because the phrase "il a gagné" means "he won" in English. Therefore, the missing word in the sentence should describe a position that indicates winning. "Le premier" translates to "the first," which is the position associated with winning in a competition or race.

The correct answer is "sortez". In this question, the verb "sortir" is conjugated in the second person plural of the present tense. "Sortez" is the correct form of the verb for the subject "vous" which means "you" in a formal or plural context. Therefore, the sentence translates to "When do you go out to Paris?"

The correct answer is "partez". This is the second person plural form of the verb "partir" in the present tense. It is used when addressing a group of people and means "you all leave".

The correct answer is "attendez". In this question, the subject "vous" indicates that the speaker is referring to the second person plural. The verb "attendre" is conjugated in the present tense to match the subject. Therefore, "attendez" is the correct form of the verb to use in this context, as it corresponds to the subject "vous" and expresses the action of waiting for your friends when they are late.

The correct answer is "Qu'est-ce que". This is because "Qu'est-ce que" is a question phrase used to ask "what" in French. In this context, the question is asking "What are you reading?" and "Qu'est-ce que" is the appropriate way to form this question. "Qui" means "who", "Quoi" means "what" in a more general sense, and "Qu'est-ce que" specifically asks for the object being referred to.

The correct answer is "ce." In the given sentence, "ce" is used as a demonstrative pronoun to refer to a specific book that the person being addressed has never read. It is commonly used in French to replace a noun that has been mentioned or is understood in the context.

The correct answer is "regardé." In French, the past participle of the verb "regarder" is formed by adding "é" to the infinitive form. Therefore, "regardé" is the correct past participle form of "regarder."

The correct answer is "descendu." In French, the past participle of the verb "descendre" is formed by adding "-u" to the stem of the verb. Therefore, "descendu" is the correct past participle form of "descendre."

The past participle of the verb "voir" is "vu".

The correct answer is "fait". In French, the verb "faire" means "to do" or "to make". The past participle of "faire" is "fait", which is used to form compound tenses like the passé composé. For example, "J'ai fait mes devoirs" means "I have done my homework".

The correct past participle of the verb "prendre" is "pris." This is the past participle form that is used when forming compound tenses in French, such as the passé composé.

The correct answer is "au bord de la mer" because it translates to "at the seaside" in English, which is the most logical location for a beach. The other options, "sur une planche à voile" (on a windsurf board) and "dans une piscine" (in a swimming pool), do not accurately describe the location of a beach.

When the stadium is full, it means that there are a lot of spectators present.

When it is hot, there is usually sunshine.

Dans une piscine, on peut plonger car c'est une activité courante et appropriée à cet endroit où il y a de l'eau. Skier et faire du patin ne sont pas des activités typiques d'une piscine, car elles nécessitent de la neige ou de la glace.

A first-class ticket is more expensive than a second-class ticket.

The correct answer is "sors". This is the correct conjugation of the verb "sortir" in the present tense for the second person singular form, which is used when addressing someone informally.

The correct answer is "quoi" because in the question "Tu lis quoi?" the word "quoi" is used to ask "what" in the context of reading. It is a direct object pronoun that replaces the noun that follows the verb "lis" (to read). Therefore, "quoi" is the appropriate choice to complete the question.

The correct answer is "tout". In the given sentence, "tout" is used to mean "everyone" or "all". The sentence is saying that everyone in the world has read "Le Comte de Monte Cristo".

The past participle of the verb "finir" is "fini."

The past participle of the verb "avoir" is "eu." This is the correct answer because "eu" is the past participle form of "avoir" in French. The verb "avoir" means "to have," and its past participle is used in compound tenses, such as the passé composé, to express actions that have been completed in the past. In this case, "eu" is the correct form of the past participle for the verb "avoir."

An arbitre (referee) siffle quand il y a un but (blows the whistle when there is a goal). This means that when a goal is scored, the referee blows the whistle to signal that a goal has been scored. This is a common practice in football (soccer) matches, where the referee plays a crucial role in enforcing the rules and making decisions.

Before traveling, it is necessary to validate or stamp one's ticket. This ensures that the ticket has been used and prevents reuse or fraud. Therefore, the correct answer is "composter son billet."

The correct answer is "dites" because it is the conjugation of the verb "dire" in the present tense for the pronoun "vous". In this context, "dites" means "you say" or "you tell". Therefore, the sentence translates to "Do you tell something to your friends if they are late?"

The correct answer is "disent". In this question, the subject "ils" refers to a plural group of people, so the verb form should also be in the plural form. "Disent" is the correct conjugation of the verb "dire" in the present tense for the subject "ils".

The correct answer is "Qui". In French, the word "Qui" translates to "Who" in English. The question is asking about the author of the book "Le Comte de Monte Cristo", so the appropriate word to use in this context is "Qui".

The past participle of the verb "devoir" is "dû". This is because "dû" is the correct form of the past participle in French when referring to the verb "devoir".

The past participle of the verb "boire" is "bu".

The correct answer is "cru". In French, the past participle of the verb "croire" (to believe) is "cru". This is a regular past participle form in the third group of verbs.

The correct answer is "mis." In French, the past participle of the verb "mettre" is "mis." This is the form used when forming compound tenses, such as the passé composé.
