French Test Two - Tricky - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    Qu’est-ce que c’est?

    • Il y a des cadeaux.

    • Ce sont des cadeaux.

    • J’ai des cadeaux.

    Correct Answer
    A. Ce sont des cadeaux.
    Explanation
    The phrase "Ce sont des cadeaux" translates to "These are gifts" in English. This is the correct answer because it accurately describes the situation mentioned in the question, which is the presence of gifts. The phrase "Il y a des cadeaux" means "There are gifts" and "J'ai des cadeaux" means "I have gifts," but neither of these phrases directly corresponds to the question "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" which asks for the identification or description of the gifts.

    She’s looking for her keys.

    • Elle cherche pour ses clés.

    • Elle cherche à ses clés.

    • Elle cherche ses clés.

    Correct Answer
    A. Elle cherche ses clés.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Elle cherche ses clés." This is the correct translation of the sentence "She's looking for her keys." in French. "Cherche" means "looking for" and "ses clés" means "her keys". The other options "Elle cherche pour ses clés." and "Elle cherche à ses clés." are incorrect translations.

    Jacques is as tall as Pierre.

    • Jacques est autant grand que Pierre.

    • Jacques est plus grand que Pierre.

    • Jacques est aussi grand que Pierre.

    Correct Answer
    A. Jacques est aussi grand que Pierre.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Jacques est aussi grand que Pierre." This is because the sentence states that Jacques is as tall as Pierre, which can be translated as "Jacques est aussi grand que Pierre" in French.

  • 5. 

    She’s thinking about her children.

    • Elle pense à ses enfants.

    • Elle pense de ses enfants.

    • Elle pense aux ses enfants.

    Correct Answer
    A. Elle pense à ses enfants.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Elle pense à ses enfants." This is because the preposition "à" is used to indicate thinking about someone or something. In this case, the subject of the sentence is thinking about her children, so the correct preposition to use is "à." The other options ("de" and "aux") are incorrect because they do not convey the same meaning.

  • 6. 

    We entered the shop.

    • Nous sommes entrés le magasin.

    • Nous sommes entrés dans le magasin.

    • Nous sommes entrés au magasin.

    Correct Answer
    A. Nous sommes entrés dans le magasin.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Nous sommes entrés dans le magasin." This is because the verb "entrer" is followed by the preposition "dans" in French when indicating entry into a specific location, such as a shop. "Le" and "au" do not convey the same meaning as "dans" in this context.

    The French laugh at the Belgians.

    • Les Français moquent les Belges.

    • Les Français se moquent des Belges.

    • Les Français moquent aux Belges.

    Correct Answer
    A. Les Français se moquent des Belges.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Les Français se moquent des Belges." This sentence translates to "The French make fun of the Belgians" in English. The verb "se moquer de" means "to make fun of" or "to mock," and the preposition "des" is used to indicate "of" or "from." Therefore, this sentence accurately conveys the idea that the French laugh at or make fun of the Belgians.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    My friends live in Brazil.

    • Mes amis habitent en Brésil.

    • Mes amis habitent à Brésil.

    • Mes amis habitent au Brésil.

    Correct Answer
    A. Mes amis habitent au Brésil.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Mes amis habitent au Brésil." The preposition "au" is used to indicate a specific country, in this case, Brazil. The preposition "en" is used for feminine countries, while the preposition "à" is used for masculine countries. Since "Brésil" is a masculine noun, the correct preposition to use is "au." Therefore, the correct sentence is "Mes amis habitent au Brésil."

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    À quoi ça sert?

    • C’est un verre de vin.

    • C’est un verre à vin

    • C’est un verre du vin.

    Correct Answer
    A. C’est un verre à vin
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "C’est un verre à vin." This phrase means "It's a wine glass" in English. The preposition "à" indicates the purpose or use of the glass, which is specifically for wine. The other options, "C’est un verre de vin" (It's a glass of wine) and "C’est un verre du vin" (It's a glass of the wine), do not accurately describe the object being referred to, which is a wine glass, not a glass of wine.

    Rate this question:

    How would you say 371 in French?

    • Trois cent soixante et onze.

    • Trois cents soixante-et-onze.

    • Trois cent soixante-onze.

    Correct Answer
    A. Trois cent soixante et onze.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Trois cent soixante et onze." In French, numbers from 70 to 99 are formed by combining the tens place number with the units place number, separated by a hyphen. However, for numbers above 100, the "et" (and) is used between the tens and units place numbers. In this case, 371 is "trois cent soixante et onze," which translates to "three hundred sixty and one."
