      Tu aurais pu planter les fleurs.

    Correct Answer
    B. Tu pourras planter les fleurs.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "tu pourras planter les fleurs." This is because the sentence is in the future tense, indicating that planting the flowers will happen in the future.

      Nous aurions pu finir le gâteau.

    Correct Answer
    C. Nous pourrions finir le gâteau.
    Explanation

      Vous seriez malades.

    Correct Answer
    D. Vous seriez malades.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "vous seriez malades." This is because the sentence is in the conditional tense, indicating a hypothetical situation. The phrase "si vous mangiez trop de dinde" translates to "if you ate too much turkey." In this hypothetical scenario, the correct verb form to use is "seriez," which is the conditional form of the verb "être" (to be) in the second person plural. Therefore, the correct translation is "you would be sick."

    The correct answer is "il sera moins fatigué." This is because the sentence is in the future tense, indicating a future condition.

    • D.

      Tu aurais pu courir.

    Correct Answer
    B. Va courir.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "va courir." This is because the phrase "Si tu as pris trop de café" is a conditional statement meaning "If you have had too much coffee." In this context, "va courir" means "go for a run." Therefore, the correct response suggests that if you have had too much coffee, the best course of action is to go for a run.

    Correct Answer
    A. Je serais allé/e aux Beaux-Arts.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "je serais allé/e aux Beaux-Arts." This is because the sentence is in the conditional tense, indicating a hypothetical situation. The phrase "si j’avais su dessiner" means "if I had known how to draw," and "je serais allé/e aux Beaux-Arts" translates to "I would have gone to the Fine Arts." This construction expresses a past unrealized action based on a condition that did not happen.

The phrase "si elle était allée à Tahiti" suggests that she did not actually go to Tahiti, but if she had gone, she would have been happy. Therefore, the correct verb form is "aurait été," which means "would have been."

This means that if they had not bought a dress, they would not have gone to the party.
