The correct answer is en
The correct sentence would be: "Il attend tous les jours en boulangerie." Which translates to "He waits every day at the bakery."
"En" is a preposition that indicates a location or a place, in this case, he waits inside the bakery.
Alternatively, the sentence could be "Il attend tous les jours à la boulangerie" (He waits every day at the bakery), using the preposition "à to indicate a specific location.

The sentence provided, "Je (aller) au garage du quartier," requires the correct conjugation of the verb **aller** (to go) for the subject **Je** (I) in the present tense.

In French, verbs are conjugated based on the subject pronoun that is being used. **Aller** is an irregular verb, so it does not follow the regular conjugation patterns. The conjugations of **aller** for the present tense are as follows:

• Je vais
• Tu vas
• Il/Elle/On va
• Nous allons
• Vous allez
• Ils/Elles vont

For the subject pronoun **Je** (I), the correct conjugation is **vais**. Therefore, the complete and correct sentence should be:

Je vais au garage du quartier.

In this sentence, **"vais"** means "am going," making it the appropriate verb form to express the action of going to the garage in your neighborhood.

In this sentence, we are working with a French construction where the father ("Le père") is talking to the children ("aux enfants"). The verb "parle" means "talks" or "speaks." We need to replace "aux enfants" which means "to the children" with an appropriate pronoun.

In French, when you want to replace plural indirect objects (in this case, "to the children"), the correct pronoun to use is **"leur"**. "Leur" is an indirect object pronoun for "them" when referring to more than one person.

Let's break it down further:

• **"En"**: This means "of it/of them" and is generally not used for people.
• **"Le"**: This is a direct object pronoun meaning "him" or "it" referring to masculine singular objects, not suitable for plural indirect objects.
• **"La"**: This is a direct object pronoun meaning "her" or "it" referring to feminine singular objects, also not suitable for plural indirect objects.
• **"Leur"**: This is the correct indirect object pronoun for "to them" and is used for plural nouns referring to people.

Therefore, the completed sentence should be: "Le père parle aux enfants. Il leur parle."

In French, verbs need to be conjugated to agree with the subject in both number (singular/plural) and person (first, second, third). Here, we must choose the correct form of the verb "choisir" in the context of the sentence with the subject "vous".

The subject "vous" can be used in two situations:

• When addressing one individual formally.
• When addressing more than one person (plural).

In both cases, the appropriate conjugation of the verb "choisir" for "vous" is "choisissez".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Qu'est-ce que vous choisissez ?"

This conjugation is in the present tense, and it relates the action directly to the ongoing conversation or moment. Thus, when you ask someone, "Qu'est-ce que vous choisissez ?", it translates to "What are you choosing?" or "What do you choose?" in English, addressing either a single person formally or multiple people.

To complete the French sentence "Ils ont une voiture. C'est ... voiture." we need to use a possessive adjective that correctly corresponds to the subject and the noun it qualifies.

1. **Subject and Noun Analysis:** - The subject of the first sentence is "Ils," which means "They" in English. - The noun in the second sentence is "voiture," meaning "car," and it is feminine singular.

2. **Possessive Adjective Matching:** - **"Ton"** (your) is used when referring to "tu" (you, singular) and is not a match for "ils." - **"Leur"** (their) is a possessive adjective for "ils" (they), and it fits because we are talking about something they possess. - **"Tes"** (your, plural) is related to "tu" (you) and is used when the noun is plural, which does not apply here since "voiture" is singular. - **"Nos"** (our) is used when referring to "nous" (we), which does not relate to "ils."

Therefore, the most appropriate word to complete the sentence is **"leur."** It correctly matches the subject "ils" and the context of possession. The completed sentence is: "Ils ont une voiture. C'est **leur** voiture."

The phrase in French "L'endroit où l'on peut acheter des médicaments" translates to "The place where one can buy medicines" in English. Out of the options given, the correct place to buy medications is a pharmacie.

Let me explain further:

• Banque: This is the French word for "bank." A bank is a place where people go to manage their money, such as depositing savings or taking out loans. It is not where you buy medications.
• Hôpital: In French, this means "hospital." Hospitals are healthcare facilities where patients receive medical treatment, but they are generally not where you purchase medications directly. You might receive medication as part of treatment, but they are administered rather than sold in the traditional sense.
• Pharmacie: This translates to "pharmacy" in English. A pharmacy is specifically the place you go to purchase medications. Pharmacists are trained professionals who can provide both prescription and over-the-counter medications to customers.
• École: This is the French word for "school." Schools are educational institutions, and they do not sell medications.

In sum, if you are looking to buy medications, a pharmacie is the right place to go.

To determine the opposite of "finir," which means "to finish" in French, we need to understand what it means. "Finir" refers to the action of completing something or bringing an activity or process to an end. So, the opposite would imply starting or initiating an activity or process, which hasn't yet been completed.

Let's examine each option:

• démolir: This means "to demolish" or "to destroy," and does not directly relate to beginning or finishing. It's more about breaking things down.
• dépasser: This means "to surpass" or "to exceed," and again, it doesn't connect with the concept of starting or finishing.
• arrêter: This means "to stop," which is not the exact opposite of "finir" because stopping doesn't necessarily mean starting from the beginning.
• commencer: This means "to begin" or "to start," which is the direct opposite of "finir." To start something means to initiate a process that hasn't been completed yet.

Therefore, the option that is the opposite of "finir" is commencer, which means "to start" in English.

Antwoorddetails

The term you are looking for to describe a person who is not yet married is **"célibataire."** In English, this translates to **"single."**

Let me clarify each option to further explain:

• Célibataire: This is the French word for someone who is not married and is equivalent to being single.
• Mari: This means "husband" in English, indicating a married man.
• Neveu: This translates to "nephew," which refers to the son of one's sibling, and has no direct relationship to marital status.
• Home: This appears to be a misspelling or error for "homme," which means "man" in French. It does not specify marital status.

Therefore, the answer to the question is **"célibataire,"** the term used to describe a person who is not yet married.

The official language of the Republic of Benin is French. This choice is primarily because Benin was a former colony of France. During the period of colonization, the French language was established as the language of administration, education, and governance. Even after gaining independence, many countries, including Benin, retained the colonizing country's language as the official language. French continues to play a crucial role in government, business, and education in Benin. Therefore, the correct answer is French.

"Cette photo représente un homme." La forme "cette" est utilisée devant un nom féminin singulier pour indiquer que la photo en questior représente un homme.

Antwoorddetails

In French, verbs need to be conjugated to match the subject of the sentence. The verb provided here is "commencer," which means "to begin" or "to start."

The subject in the sentence is "Ils," which means "they." In French, the pronoun "Ils" takes a specific verb conjugation. For verbs ending in -er like "commencer," the form that matches "Ils" is different from other subjects.

The correct conjugation for "Ils" with the verb "commencer" is "commencent." This is because "commencent" is the third person plural form of "commencer," which is used with the pronoun "Ils" (they).

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Ils commencent leur travail après le match de foot." This translates to "They start their work after the soccer match."

Antwoorddetails

The given sentence is in French, and it translates to: "Is Maman coming back from the city? Who is coming back?" The phrase "Qu..... en revient" is asking for the pronoun that refers back to "Maman" in this context. Here is the breakdown:

1. **Maman** is a feminine singular noun in French, referring to a person, specifically "Mom" or "Mother." The pronoun used should match the gender and number of "Maman".

2. **Elle** is the correct choice because "elle" is a singular feminine pronoun in French, which means "she" in English. This appropriately refers back to "Maman."

3. The other options do not appropriately match the criteria:

• Ils is a plural masculine pronoun, meaning "they" in English. It doesn't fit here because "Maman" is singular and feminine.
• Oil is not any recognized French pronoun.
• Nous is a plural pronoun, meaning "we" in English, and does not match the singular reference.

Therefore, the sentence should be completed as "Quelle en revient?" where "elle" appropriately refers to "Maman." The correct completion is with the pronoun **elle**.

In French, the sentence "Vous avez des enfants? Oui. J'/je...... ai deux." translates to "Do you have children? Yes. I have two." The blank must be filled with a correct pronoun that is used to replace "des enfants" (some children) in the given context.

Let's analyze the possible options:

• "les": This pronoun is used to replace a plural noun that has already been mentioned and is specific. However, "les" is not suitable here because it would mean that the speaker is referring to a specific group of children already known.
• "en": This is a pronoun that is used to replace a noun phrase introduced by "de" and its article, such as "des" (some). It is perfect for general references. "En" can mean "of them" or "some" in English.
• "le": This is a singular masculine pronoun which would not fit because we are talking about "enfants" (children), which is plural.
• "la": This is a singular feminine pronoun, unsuitable for "enfants," which is a masculine plural noun.

The most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "en". It is the only pronoun that replaces "des enfants" efficiently by conveying "some" or "of them." Hence, the sentence would be, "J'en ai deux," which means "I have two (of them)." This construction is widely used in French when referring to quantities of something previously mentioned.

In this French sentence, "Où sont mes lunettes? Tu ________ posées sur la table?", we are required to fill in the blank with the appropriate article. To do so, we need to understand how French articles agree with the noun they accompany.

The word "lunettes" is the subject here. In French, "lunettes" is a plural noun meaning "glasses" in English. It is always used in the plural form, even though it refers to a single item, much like the word "pants" in English. In this context, we're looking for an article that can connect with a plural noun.

In French, articles have to agree both in gender and number (i.e., singular/plural) with the noun they accompany:

• "le" is the masculine singular article for nouns.
• "la" is the feminine singular article for nouns.
• "l'" is used before singular nouns starting with a vowel sound, regardless of gender.
• "les" is the plural article for all nouns, whether masculine or feminine.

Since "lunettes" is plural, the correct article to use is "les". Therefore, the completed sentence should be: "Où sont mes lunettes? Tu les as posées sur la table?"

So, the correct article for the blank is "les".

The number of seasons in Nigeria is two. Nigeria, due to its geographical location, has two primary seasons which are the rainy season and the dry season.

The rainy season usually occurs from about April to October. During this period, the conditions are typically wetter with increased rainfall, especially in the southern regions of Nigeria.

The dry season occurs from about November to March. This period is characterized by less rainfall and drier conditions. It includes the Harmattan season, which is a dry, dusty wind blowing from the Sahara desert across West Africa, usually observed from December to February.

So, the correct answer is two seasons in Nigeria.

Antwoorddetails

In the French phrase "J'ai vu ____ le monde," we need to fill in the blank with a word or form of the word "tout" that correctly matches the context. The phrase translates to "I have seen ____ the world" in English.

Let's examine the four options:

• toute: This is the feminine singular form of "tout" and is used before a singular feminine noun. For example, "toute la ville" means "the whole city."
• tou: This form is incorrect and does not exist in the French language.
• toutes: This is the feminine plural form of "tout" and is used before plural feminine nouns. For example, "toutes les filles" means "all the girls."
• tout: This is the masculine singular form of "tout" and is used before a singular masculine noun, or can refer to everything/entirety.

In this context, "le monde" (the world) is a masculine singular noun. Therefore, the correct form to use is "tout." This would translate to "I have seen all the world" or "I have seen the whole world."

Hence, the sentence should be "J'ai vu tout le monde."

Among the list of animals, the lion is considered a wild animal. Here's a simple explanation:

A wild animal is one that lives in its natural habitat without direct reliance on humans for food or shelter. Lions typically live in the wild, such as in the savannas of Africa. They hunt for their food and have not been domesticated by humans.

On the other hand, a dog, a pig, and a rooster are considered domesticated animals. These animals have been bred by humans for many years to live alongside people, providing companionship, labor, or food.

Antwoorddetails

The correct option is la mer.

A fish, in general, lives in water environments. The term "poisson" is French for "fish." **Fish** are **aquatic** animals, meaning they live in water. The **sea** (translated as "la mer" in French) is a large body of saltwater that is home to various types of fish and marine life. On the other hand:

• Le désert refers to the desert, which is a dry, arid land area with very limited water sources, unsuitable for fish.
• Le ciel means the sky, where birds and aircraft move, but not fish.
• Le champ signifies a field, typically used for growing crops or grazing animals, not a place where fish live.

Antwoorddetails

The sentence in French is translated to English as: "Of all these skirts, it is ___ I prefer?"

To complete this sentence, we are looking for a word that can refer to a singular noun, specifically "jupe" (skirt), which is feminine. The options provided are all forms of demonstrative pronouns, which are used to replace nouns when we want to avoid repetition.

The correct choice here is: **"celle-là"**.

Explanation:

• Celle: This is a demonstrative pronoun referring to a singular feminine noun. It means "the one" or "that one." By itself, it makes the sentence feel incomplete because it does not emphasize a particular skirt.


• Celle-là: This specifically means "that one" and refers to a particular skirt from a group that has been previously mentioned. It's used to differentiate a specific skirt among several options, which matches the sentence context perfectly.


• Celui-la: This is used for masculine singular nouns and does not fit with "jupe," which is feminine.


• Ceux-ci: This is used for masculine plural nouns and does not match the singular feminine nature of "jupe."

Therefore, the most appropriate word to complete the sentence is "celle-là", as it clearly denotes a specific skirt among the group, aligning with the need to express preference for one from a collection.

Antwoorddetails

The sentence "Tu préfères chemise?" in English means "Do you prefer the shirt?" To complete this sentence, it's important to focus on grammatical agreement in French.

Firstly, the word "chemise" is a noun in French that is feminine and singular. When using interrogative pronouns in French to ask "which" or "what," you must match the pronoun to the gender and number of the noun it refers to.

In this context:

• "Que" is generally used to mean "what," but it is not used to directly modify nouns (it doesn't agree with gender or number).
• "Quelle" is the feminine singular interrogative pronoun meaning "which" or "what" for feminine singular nouns, making it the most suitable option for the feminine singular noun "chemise".
• "Quelles" is used for feminine plural nouns, which is inappropriate here since "chemise" is singular.
• "Quells" does not exist in French so it is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct option to complete the sentence is "quelle". The completed sentence would be "Tu préfères quelle chemise?", which translates to "Which shirt do you prefer?" in English.

Antwoorddetails

In the given sentence, "Au Nigéria, la plupart des pécheurs (vivre) au bord des fleuves," we need to choose the correct form of the verb "vivre" (to live) to complete the sentence. The subject here is "la plupart des pêcheurs," which translates to "most of the fishermen." This subject indicates that we are dealing with a plural form, since "most of the fishermen" refers to more than one person. Therefore, we must choose the verb form that matches a plural subject.

In French, the verb "vivre" is conjugated as follows:

• je vis (I live)
• tu vis (you live)
• il/elle/on vit (he/she/one lives)
• nous vivons (we live)
• vous vivez (you all live)
• ils/elles vivent (they live)

Given that "la plupart des pêcheurs" is plural, the correct conjugation for "vivre" in this context is "vivent."

Thus, the completed sentence is: "Au Nigéria, la plupart des pécheurs vivent au bord des fleuves."

Antwoorddetails

The sentence "Elle se brosse les dents d'aller se coucher" is meant to convey the sequence of actions or the reason why the action is performed. In this context, it implies that she is brushing her teeth in order to go to bed. The options provided suggest different prepositions that could be used to complete the sentence correctly. Let's briefly examine each:

1. "depuis": This means "since" or "from" in English. It indicates time or origin and would not fit logically into the sentence because it doesn't connect the two actions appropriately.

2. "avait": This is a form of the verb "avoir," meaning "had." It is not a preposition and does not serve to logically connect brushing teeth with going to bed in this sentence.

3. "avec": Meaning "with," this preposition implies accompaniment or association. It suggests doing two actions together but not sequentially or in purpose-based association, which doesn’t align with the intended meaning of the sentence.

4. "derrière": This means "behind" or "afterward." While it indicates sequence physically or in time, this preposition is not typically used to denote the purpose of an action.

The appropriate word to complete the sentence logically would be a preposition like **"avant"** meaning **"before"**, so the sentence would become: "Elle se brosse les dents avant d'aller se coucher." This clearly explains that she brushes her teeth **before** going to bed, showing the correct sequence of the actions.

Antwoorddetails

The correct answer to complete the sentence "La femme _ vient ici est belle." is qui.

To understand why "qui" is the most appropriate choice, let's break down the sentence:

1. "La femme" means "The woman" and is the subject of the sentence.

2. The phrase "vient ici" means "comes here."

3. The word that needs to complete the sentence is the one that links "La femme" to "vient ici".

Among the given options:

• "qui" is a relative pronoun used to refer to the subject of the sentence. It is used to link the subject to a verb or clause. In this case, it links "La femme" to the verb "vient".
• "ou" means "or" or where, which is not suitable as it does not serve as a relative pronoun connecting a subject to a verb.
• "que" means "that" or "which," but it is typically used as a relative pronoun for objects, not subjects.
• "dont" is a relative pronoun meaning "whose" or "of which," and is used when indicating possession or relation, but is not applicable in this sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "La femme qui vient ici est belle."

This translates to "The woman who comes here is beautiful."

Antwoorddetails

In French, the phrase "Dans la chambre, on se couche sur" translates to "In the bedroom, one lies down on." In this context, we are looking for the item you would typically lie down on in a bedroom.

Let's consider each option:

• Lit: This is the French word for "bed", which is the object we usually lie down on to sleep or rest. Therefore, it makes sense to choose "lit" in this context.
• Armoire: This is a word for a "wardrobe", a piece of furniture used for storing clothes, not for lying on.
• Rideau: This refers to "curtain", which is something you hang at a window for privacy or to block light, not something to lie down on.
• Miroir: This translates to "mirror", an item used to reflect images and not meant for lying on.

Therefore, the correct option to complete the sentence is "lit", as it is logical for someone to lie down on a bed ("lit") in a bedroom.

Antwoorddetails

To determine which pronoun fits best in the sentence "Pendant les vacances______ allons visiter Toulouse," we must understand the structure and rules of French language pronouns in relation to verbs.

The verb phrase "allons visiter" is an indication of an action that will be performed by the subject of the sentence.

In this French sentence, the verb "allons" means "are going to" or "will" in English, and it is the first-person plural form of the verb "aller" (to go).

Therefore, the subject pronoun must be in first-person plural which corresponds to "we" in English.

Among the options provided, the pronoun **"nous"** is the correct choice because **"nous"** is the French pronoun that translates to "we" in English. It matches with the verb form **"allons"**, which is also first-person plural.

Thus, the complete sentence is: **"Pendant les vacances nous allons visiter Toulouse."**

Antwoorddetails

In French, the preposition used before a noun can indicate the location or place where the activity is performed. The article that follows the preposition agrees with the gender and number of the noun it precedes.

The phrases in the question involve locations where volleyball is played. Let's analyze each location:

• **église:** In French, 'église' (church) is feminine, and you would use the preposition "à la". Usually, volleyball is not played in or at a church.
• **école:** In French, 'école' (school) is feminine, so you would use "à l'". Volleyball can be played at schools, but it's not as common as a gym or field.
• **cinéma:** In French, 'cinéma' (cinema) is masculine, and usually, you would use "au". However, volleyball is not played at a cinema.
• **stade:** In French, 'stade' (stadium) is masculine, and you use the contraction "au" which is short for "à le". **Stadiums are common places where sports, including volleyball, are played.**

Therefore, the correct option to indicate a place where volleyball is commonly played is **"au stade."**

Antwoorddetails

In the given sentence, "C'est la robe de ma sœur," we are referring to **a dress that belongs to my sister**. The key here is to identify the gender and the pronoun that appropriately replaces the phrase "de ma sœur".

The noun "robe" is **feminine** and **singular**. Therefore, we need a possessive pronoun that agrees with this gender and number.

• Le sien: This option is **masculine singular** and does not match the gender of "robe".
• La tienne: Although this option is **feminine singular**, it means "yours" and not "hers".
• Le nôtre: This option is also **masculine singular** and means "ours". It does not match either the gender or the ownership.
• La sienne: This option is **feminine singular** and means "hers". It perfectly matches both the gender of "robe" and the ownership of "my sister".

Thus, the correct choice to complete the sentence is **"La sienne"**, as it appropriately indicates that the dress belongs to my sister while agreeing with the gender of "robe".

Antwoorddetails

This question requires us to determine which French term best completes the sentence "Les vétements." To do so, we need to understand what "Les vétements" means in English.

"Les vêtements" means "clothing" or "clothes." Therefore, we need an option that relates to clothing.

• Le chapeau: This means "the hat." Hats are types of clothing accessories that people wear on their heads.
• Le bic: This means "the pen." Pens are writing implements and are not related to clothing.
• La robe: This means "the dress." Dresses are garments or articles of clothing.
• La ceinture: This means "the belt." Belts are accessories used to style clothes or hold pants and skirts in place.

Out of all these options, "Le chapeau," "La robe," and "La ceinture" are related to clothing. However, if your context is specifically referring to an article of clothing (and not an accessory like "Le chapeau" or "La ceinture"), then La robe (the dress) would directly fit the "Les vêtements" category as it is an actual garment.

Therefore, the most suitable choice from the given options to complete the sentence "Les vêtements" would be La robe.

Antwoorddetails

The term "un terrain aménagé pour la pratique des sports" refers to an area or space that is specifically designed and equipped to facilitate the practice of various sports activities. Let's examine the options provided:

• Église: This translates to "church" in English. A church is a place of worship and religious activities, but it is not designed for sports.
• Librairie: This means "bookstore" in English. A bookstore is a place to buy and sell books and is not related to sports activities.
• Stade: This is the French term for "stadium." A stadium is a venue or complex made specifically for hosting sports events and activities. It typically includes stands for spectators and facilities necessary for athletes.
• Marché: This translates to "market" in English. A market is a place where various goods and foods are bought and sold, and it is not connected to sports activities.

Thus, the correct answer is a stade, which is a stadium, as it is the place that is designed and used for playing sports. It is the location where various sporting events can be held, fulfilling the function described as "un terrain aménagé pour la pratique des sports."

Antwoorddetails

In the sentence "Elles achètent un cadeau_leur père," we need to choose the correct preposition that fits into the blank. The sentence translates to "They are buying a present_for their father." The key is to look for a preposition that appropriately indicates the recipient of the gift.

The French word "pour" is used to indicate the purpose or the recipient of an action. In this context, buying a gift for someone means they are the intended recipient. Therefore, the correct preposition to use is "pour."

So, the completed sentence is: "Elles achètent un cadeau pour leur père."

To understand why the other options do not fit:

• "parmi" means "amongst," and it would not indicate the recipient of the gift.
• "dans" means "in," which refers to location and not a recipient.
• "entre" means "between," and indicates something in relation to two entities, not a recipient.

Thus, the only preposition that fits the meaning of buying a gift for someone is "pour."

Antwoorddetails

To determine the correct word to use in this sentence, we need to understand the French grammatical concept of agreement. In French, adjectives and pronouns must agree in gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) with the nouns they refer to.

The noun "jours" is **plural** and **masculine**. In French, the word "jours" means "days". Therefore, we need a pronoun or adjective that matches both the plural and masculine form.

Let's examine each option:

• **Toute**: Feminine singular, not suitable as "jours" is masculine plural.
• **Tout**: Masculine singular, not suitable as "jours" is plural.
• **Toutes**: Feminine plural, not suitable as "jours" is masculine.
• **Tous**: Masculine plural, this is the correct form for "jours".

Therefore, the sentence should be completed as: "C'est la saison sèche, le soleil brille tous les jours."

Antwoorddetails

The sentence in French is seeking the correct word to replace "the house" when referring to it belonging to the "chief of the village." In order to choose the correct word, we need to understand both the gender of the noun it is replacing and the grammatical structure.

In French, the word "maison" (house) is a feminine noun which means that when we want to say "this one" or "that one" in reference to a feminine singular noun, we use "celle". This is similar to saying "Non, it is the one of the village chief." when referring back to "house," which is female in French grammar.

Therefore, the correct complete sentence in French is:

"Est-ce que cette maison appartient à ton oncle? Non, c'est celle du chef du village."

Antwoorddetails

The sentence "Je parle aux élèves" translates to "I speak to the students." In this sentence, "aux élèves" refers to a group of people to whom the speaker is talking, specifically the students.

To complete the phrase "Je parle..." correctly, you need a pronoun that refers back to "aux élèves" (to the students) without repeating the whole phrase.

In French, "aux élèves" is an indirect object. The appropriate pronoun for the indirect object in this case is "leur", which means "to them". Therefore, the sentence should be completed as "Je parle leur", which translates to "I speak to them."

Explanation of Options:

• les - This is a direct object pronoun for "them" (plural). It would be used if the verb required a direct object.


• la - This is a singular direct object pronoun for "her" or "it" (feminine singular). It does not fit our context as we are dealing with plural and indirect reference.


• leur - This is the correct plural indirect object pronoun for "to them," matching the indirect object in the original sentence.
• le - This is a singular direct object pronoun for "him" or "it" (masculine singular). This is not the correct form for an indirect object.

Therefore, the appropriate choice to complete the sentence is "Je parle leur."

Antwoorddetails

To find the correct word that completes the sentence "Voilà man parapluie et voilà........ma soeur," it is important to understand how demonstrative pronouns are used in French, especially in distinguishing gender and number.

The phrase "Voilà mon parapluie" translates to "There is my umbrella" and "Voilà............ma soeur" translates to "There is...........my sister."

The word "parapluie" (umbrella) is masculine, which is correctly complemented with "mon." The options are related to the second part of the sentence "Voilà...........ma soeur," which involves identifying the demonstrative pronoun correctly matching "ma soeur" (my sister).

Here is a simple breakdown:

1. Masculine Demonstrative Pronouns:

• celui - Used for singular masculine nouns.

2. Feminine Demonstrative Pronouns:

• celle - Used for singular feminine nouns.
• celle-là - Form of "celle" with emphasis: Used for singular feminine nouns, often to imply a distinction.

3. Plural Demonstrative Pronoun:

• celles - Used for plural feminine nouns.

Since "soeur" is feminine and singular, the correct demonstrative pronoun is "celle." Therefore, the sentence should be completed as "Voilà mon parapluie et voilà celle ma soeur," indicating "there is my umbrella and there is the one my sister."

In conclusion, the correct choice is "celle" because it is the singular feminine demonstrative pronoun that corresponds appropriately with "my sister."

Antwoorddetails

In the context of the question, when two people get married, the term that accurately describes this event is a marriage. A marriage is a formal union recognized by law, where two individuals usually vow to live together in a committed relationship. The other options listed do not correctly fit the scenario:

• Baptême: This is a baptism, a religious ceremony signifying spiritual cleansing and rebirth, not associated with people getting married.
• Accident: This refers to an unexpected and typically negative event, unrelated to marriage.
• Mort: This means death, which is unrelated to the concept of marriage.

Therefore, the correct option to describe the event when two people marry is mariage.

To determine the odd one out among the given options, we need to understand the meanings of each word in the context of their usage related to "L'école," which means "School" in French. Here's a brief explanation:

• L'ecole: School
• Un crayon: A pencil (A common item used in a school setting for writing.)
• Une fourchette: A fork (A utensil primarily used for eating and not commonly associated with school activities.)
• Un cahier: A notebook (Another common item used in schools for taking notes.)
• Un tableau: A blackboard or whiteboard (A tool you find in classrooms for educators to present information.)

The odd one out is "Une fourchette." The reason is that it is a kitchen utensil used for eating and is not directly related to school supplies or activities, unlike the other items listed which are typically found in a school environment.

The phrase "Les pays Africains" translates to "The African countries" in English. This implies that we are discussing countries located on the African continent. Among the options given, only Ghana, Benin, and Nigeria are countries located in Africa, while Italie (Italy) is in Europe. Therefore, **Ghana**, **Benin**, and **Nigeria** are the correct completions of the sentence because they are African countries, unlike **Italie** (Italy), which is not.

The sentence in French is: "Jevais à Lagos _____ les vacances." The aim is to choose the correct preposition to complete the sentence. Here's what each option means:

• pendant: This means "during" in English. In French, it's used to indicate the duration of an action or event. It is appropriate when referring to time periods such as holidays or vacations.
• par: This means "by" or "through" and is typically used to express means or agency, for example, traveling by train ("par train"). It doesn't fit in this context.
• contre: This means "against" and is used when expressing opposition or contact with something. It is not relevant to the context of going somewhere for holidays.
• depuis: This translates to "since" or "for," and indicates the start point of an action that continues. It is not appropriate to use with the concept of spending a vacation somewhere.

Thus, the correct preposition to use in this context is "pendant" because it correctly describes engaging in a trip over a certain duration, particularly during the vacation period. The correct sentence is: "Jevais à Lagos pendant les vacances."

The question is about identifying the option that resides in water. Let's briefly examine each of these:

Poule: This is a French word for "chicken." Chickens are terrestrial birds that live on land. They do not live in water.

Poisson: This is the French term for "fish." Fish are aquatic animals, which means they live in water. They have gills that allow them to breathe underwater. This is the option that resides in water.

Chat: This means "cat" in French. Cats are typically land animals and do not live in water. They are known to dislike being in water.

Chien: This is the French word for "dog." Dogs are also land animals, although some breeds enjoy swimming. However, they do not live in water.

Therefore, it is clear that the option that resides in water is "poisson", as fish are aquatic creatures that live in water environments such as lakes, rivers, and oceans.

When we think of transportation specifically on the sea, we are referring to a mode of transport that can efficiently travel over water. From the given options: metro, taxi, camel, and boat, the only one that aligns with this requirement is the boat.

A boat is a small to medium-sized vessel intended for travel on water. It can be powered by sails, engines, or even manual rowing, and it is designed to float and move across oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers. Boats have been historically used for fishing, transportation, and recreation. They are equipped to handle the various conditions found on water, whether calm or stormy.

In contrast, the other options mentioned:

• Metro: A form of urban railway network used for mass transit in cities, operating on land.
• Taxi: A land vehicle used for personal transport from one place to another within urban environments.
• Camel: An animal used traditionally for transport and travel in desert regions.

Thus, the correct answer for a means of transport on the sea is a boat.
