Marie, à quelle heure est-ce que . . .
- A.
Tu t’as levé ce matin?
- B.
Tu t’es levé ce matin?
- C.
Tu t’es levée ce matin?
Correct Answer
C. Tu t’es levée ce matin?Explanation
The correct answer is "tu t’es levée ce matin?" because the subject of the question is "tu" which refers to a female. Therefore, the verb "lever" needs to agree with the subject in gender and number, resulting in the feminine form "levée" instead of the masculine form "levé".Rate this question:

Ma mère s'est fait ___________ un sandwich.
- A.
Apporté
- B.
Apportée
- C.
Apporter
Correct Answer
C. ApporterExplanation
In this sentence, the verb "apporter" is used in the reflexive form "s'est fait apporter". This construction implies that someone else brought or delivered the sandwich to the subject's mother. Since the subject's mother is the receiver of the action, the verb "apporter" should agree in gender and number with the subject. In this case, the subject is "ma mère" which is singular and feminine. Therefore, the correct form of the verb is "apportée".Rate this question:

- A.
J’ai descendu des livres de la bibliothèque.
- B.
Je suis descendu des livres de la bibliothèque.
- C.
Je suis descendus des livres de la bibliothèque.
Correct Answer
A. J’ai descendu des livres de la bibliothèque.Explanation
The correct answer is "J’ai descendu des livres de la bibliothèque." This is the correct translation of the given sentence "I took down some books from the bookcase." It uses the correct form of the verb "descendre" (to take down) in the past tense (j’ai descendu) and agrees with the plural noun "livres" (books).Rate this question:

Qu’est-ce que tu as offert à la jeune fille?
- A.
Je l’ai offert un cadeau.
- B.
Je lui ai offert un cadeau.
- C.
Je lui ai offerte un cadeau.
Correct Answer
B. Je lui ai offert un cadeau.Explanation
The correct answer is "Je lui ai offert un cadeau." This is the correct form of the sentence because "lui" is the indirect object pronoun for "la jeune fille" (the young girl), and "ai offert" is the correct past participle form of the verb "offrir" (to offer). The word "un" is used because "cadeau" (gift) is a masculine noun.Rate this question:

It’s likely that you’ll pass your driving test.
- A.
Il est probable que vous réussirez le permis.
- B.
Il est probable que vous réussissiez le permis.
- C.
Il est probable que vous ne réussissiez le permis.
Correct Answer
A. Il est probable que vous réussirez le permis.Explanation
The correct answer is "Il est probable que vous réussirez le permis." This is because the phrase "réussir le permis" means to pass the driving test, and the phrase "il est probable que" means it is likely that. Therefore, the correct answer states that it is likely that you will pass your driving test.Rate this question:

Vous devriez courir.
- B.
Vous auriez dû courir.
- C.
Vous aviez dû courir.
Correct Answer

You and I always agree.
- A.
Toi et moi êtes toujours d’accord.
- B.
Toi et moi sont toujours d’accord.
- C.
Toi et moi sommes toujours d’accord.
Correct Answer
C. Toi et moi sommes toujours d’accord.Explanation
The correct answer is "Toi et moi sommes toujours d’accord." The reason is that "toi et moi" is the subject of the sentence, and the verb "être" (to be) needs to agree with the subject in number. Since "toi et moi" is plural, the correct form of the verb is "sommes."Rate this question:

Je peux entrer?
- A.
Si vous voulez.
- B.
Si vous voudriez.
- C.
Either of the above.
Correct Answer
A. Si vous voulez.Explanation
The correct answer is "Si vous voulez." This is because the phrase "Je peux entrer?" is a question asking for permission to enter. The response "Si vous voulez" translates to "If you want" or "If you would like," indicating that the person can enter if they want to. The alternative answer "Si vous voudriez" is grammatically incorrect as it combines the conditional form of the verb "vouloir" (to want) with the present tense of "vous" (you), which is not coherent.Rate this question:
