    Explanation
    The correct form of the verb "adorer" for the subject "ELLES" is "adorent". This is because "ELLES" is the third person plural pronoun in French, and the verb "adorer" needs to agree with the subject in both number and person. Therefore, the correct conjugation is "adorent".

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Most -ER verbs are regular.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Most -ER verbs follow a regular pattern in their conjugation. This means that they have predictable endings and do not undergo significant changes in their stem. Regular verbs in French typically end in -ER, and they form their present tense conjugations by removing the -ER ending and adding specific endings based on the subject pronoun. Therefore, it is correct to say that most -ER verbs are regular.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Regular verbs do not follow a pattern.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Regular verbs actually do follow a pattern. In English grammar, regular verbs form their past tense and past participle by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb. For example, the base form "walk" becomes "walked" in the past tense and past participle. This pattern holds true for most regular verbs in English. Therefore, the correct answer is False, as regular verbs do follow a pattern.

    • To study

    • To work

    Correct Answer

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Fill in the definite article: Nous n'aimons pas ____ musique classique.

    Correct Answer
    la
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "la" because in French, the definite article "la" is used before feminine singular nouns. In this sentence, "musique" is a feminine singular noun, so it requires the definite article "la" before it.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Choose the correct form of the verb: IL (travailler)

    • Travailles

    • Travaille

    • Travaillent

    • Travaillons

    A. Travaille
    Explanation
    The correct form of the verb "travailler" is "travaille". This is the singular form of the verb in the present tense, used when referring to the subject "je" (I) or "il/elle/on" (he/she/one). The other options "travailles", "travaillent", and "travaillons" are conjugations of the verb for different subjects such as "tu" (you), "ils/elles" (they), and "nous" (we) respectively.
