About This Quiz

An imperative verb in most cases, when read out loud, feels like a command as they do not leave room for discussion or questions. These types of sentences often appear to be missing subjects and use a verb to begin the sentence. In fact, the subject is the person listening, or the audience. Test your knowledge of French imperative verbs by using this test.

    What is the rule for making an imperative command negative?

    • Put ne…pas around the infintive form of the verb

    • Put –pas on the end of the correctly conjugated, imperative form of the verb

    Correct Answer
    A. Put ne…pas around the conjugated, imperative form of the verb
    Explanation
    To make an imperative command negative, the rule is to put "ne...pas" around the conjugated, imperative form of the verb. This means that "ne" and "pas" should be placed before and after the verb in the imperative form to indicate a negative command.

      ___________  la première à droite, Madame

    Correct Answer
    Prenez
    Tournez
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Prenez, Tournez." This is because the phrase "Prenez, Tournez" translates to "Take, Turn" in English, which is a common instruction given when giving directions. In the given context, someone is being told to take a turn to the right, so "Prenez" means "Take" and "Tournez" means "Turn."

     This is a correct sentence:  Marcel, tu regarde ton cahier

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    The given sentence is incorrect because there is a mistake in the verb form. The correct sentence should be "Marcel, tu regardes ton cahier." The verb "regardes" should agree with the subject "tu" in the second person singular form. Therefore, the correct answer is "No."

    • Michel, pas jouer avec les allumettes

    Correct Answer
    A. Michel, ne joue pas avec les allumettes (matches)
    Explanation
    The correct sentence is "Michel, ne joue pas avec les allumettes (matches)". This sentence follows the correct word order in French, with the subject "Michel" followed by the verb "joue" and the negation "ne...pas". Additionally, the preposition "avec" is used correctly to indicate "with" and the noun "les allumettes" is the correct term for "matches" in French.

    • Descend

    • Descends

    • Monte

    • Mont

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Descends
    A. Monte
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Descends, Mont." In this sentence, the father is instructing his daughter to "descend" from the bus and "mont" (which should be "monter") into the car. The verb "descends" is the correct form for the second person singular (you) imperative form of the verb "descendre." The verb "mont" should be the infinitive form "monter," which means "to go up" or "to climb."

    Madame, fermez la fenetre

    The correct answer is "Madame, fermez la fenetre" because it accurately translates the given sentence "Madam, close the window" into French. The verb "fermez" is the imperative form of "fermer" which means "to close" and it agrees with the subject "Madame" (Madam). "La fenetre" translates to "the window" in English.
