What is the French translation of "Good morning"?
Bonsoir
Salut
Bonjour
Bonne nuit
The French phrase "Bonjour" literally means "good day" and is used as "good morning." Although "Bonsoir" means "good evening", it is used later in the day. "Bonne nuit" is "good night" used at bedtime. "Salut" is an informal "hi" or "bye."
What is the French definite article for masculine singular nouns?
Un
Les
La
Le
"Le" is the masculine singular definite article in French. "La" is feminine singular, "Les" is plural, and "Un" is the masculine indefinite article.
What is the French word for "and"?
Donc
Mais
Ou
Et
"Et" is the French conjunction for "and." "Mais" means "but," "ou" means "or," and "donc" means "so" or "therefore."
What is the first person singular form of "être" in French?
Il est
Je suis
Nous sommes
Tu es
"Je suis" is the first person singular present form of the verb "être" (to be). "Tu es" is second person, "Il est" is third person singular, and "Nous sommes" is first person plural.
How do you say "Thank you" in French?
De rien
S'il vous plaît
Pardon
Merci
"Merci" means "Thank you" in French. "Pardon" is "sorry" or "excuse me," "De rien" is "you're welcome," and "S'il vous plaît" means "please."
What is the French word for "cat"?
Chat
Chien
Poisson
Cheval
"Chat" means "cat" in French. "Chien" means "dog," "cheval" is "horse," and "poisson" is "fish."
How do you say "My name is..." in French?
Je suis appelé...
Je m'appelle...
Je m'appelle suis...
Je suis...
"Je m'appelle" literally means "I call myself" and is the standard way to say "My name is." "Je suis..." means "I am..." but doesn't specifically introduce names.
What is the French negation of "Je suis"?
Je ne suis
Je pas suis
Je ne suis pas
Je suis pas
The correct negation places "ne" before the verb and "pas" after: "Je ne suis pas." In spoken French, "ne" is often dropped, but formally both are needed.
How do you say "She reads" or "She is reading" in French?
Elle lira
Elle lit
Elle a lu
Elle litre
"Lit" is the third person singular present form of "lire" (to read). "Lira" is future, "a lu" is past, and "litre" is a noun meaning liter.
What is the plural form of "cheval"?
Chevaus
Chevals
Chevaux
Chevalsx
Some French nouns ending in -al form their plural by changing -al to -aux, so "cheval" becomes "chevaux." Regular plural would be -s, but "chevaux" is irregular.
Which pronoun correctly replaces "les pommes" in "Je mange les pommes"?
Je les mange
Je mange les
Je les manges
Je leur mange
"Les" is the direct object pronoun for feminine plural nouns like "les pommes." "Je les mange" correctly replaces the noun.
Fill in the blank: "Nous ___ allés au cinéma hier." (être)
êtes
être
sont
sommes
In the passé composé, "aller" uses "être" as the auxiliary. For "nous," the correct conjugation is "sommes," forming "Nous sommes allés."
What is the gender of the French word "eau"?
Feminine
Both
Masculine
Neither
"Eau" (water) is a feminine noun, though it ends with -au, a masculine ending. Memorizing exceptions is common.
Translate "We have been to Paris" into French.
Nous avons été à Paris
Nous sommes allés Paris
Nous sommes allés à Paris
Nous sommes été à Paris
To translate "We have been to Paris" meaning we visited, use the passé composé of aller with être as auxiliary: "Nous sommes allés à Paris."
What is the past participle of "manger"?
Mangeé
Mangeant
Mange
Mangé
Regular -er verbs form the past participle by replacing -er with -é, so "manger" becomes "mangé."
Translate "They (feminine) speak French."
Elles parle français
Elles parlent français
Elles parlént français
Ils parlent français
The third person plural feminine pronoun is "elles", and "parler" conjugates as "parlent." The accent in "parlént" is incorrect, and "ils" is masculine.
Select the correct direct object pronoun in the sentence "Je vois Marie."
Je la vois
Je vois la
Je le vois
Je lui vois
"Marie" is feminine; the direct object pronoun is "la" and it precedes the verb: "Je la vois."
How is the "il" form of "aller" in the future tense?
Il allons
Il allera
Il iras
Il ira
The stem of "aller" in the simple future is "ir-", and the third person singular ending is "-a," so "il ira."
Choose the correct conditional form: "Je ____ étudier plus tard." (devoir)
Je devrais étudier plus tard
Je devrait étudier plus tard
Je devrai étudier plus tard
Je dois étudier plus tard
The conditional of "devoir" in first person is "devrais," expressing "I should." "Devrai" is future, "devrait" is third person conditional.
How do you say "I am going to eat" in French (futur proche)?
Je vais à manger
Je suis manger
Je aller manger
Je vais manger
The futur proche is formed with the present of "aller" + infinitive: "Je vais manger."
Complete the reflexive verb: "Nous ___ (se laver) presque tous les jours."
nous lavons
nous lavons-nous
nous nous lavons-nous
nous nous lavons
Reflexive verbs require the reflexive pronoun: "nous nous lavons." The pronoun "nous" appears before the verb.
Complete the comparative: "Cette maison est ___ grande ___ l'autre."
plus; que
moins; que
autant; que
plus; de
To compare, use "plus ... que" for "more ... than": "plus grande que."
Translate "Although it's raining, we will go for a walk."
Bien qu'il pleut, nous irons promener
Bien qu'il pleuve, nous irons nous promener
Quoique il pleut, nous iremos promener
Parce qu'il pleut, nous allons promener
"Bien que" requires the subjunctive: "il pleuve." Future: "nous irons nous promener."
Select the correct subjunctive form: "Il faut que tu ___ à l'heure." (être)
sois
seras
es
sera
After expressions like "il faut que," the verb is in the subjunctive, so the correct form is "sois." "Es" is indicative, "seras" is future, and "sera" is third person future.
Translate "If I had known, I would have come." into French.
Si j'aurais su, je serais venu.
Si j'avais su, je viendrais.
Si j'avais su, je serais venu.
Si j'aurai su, je serais venu.
In the third conditional in French, the si clause uses plus-que-parfait (j'avais su) and the result uses the past conditional (je serais venu).

Cheat Sheet

  1. Regular -ER Verb Conjugation -

    According to the French Ministry of Education's KS3 curriculum, mastering the six present-tense endings for -ER verbs (e, es, e, ons, ez, ent) is fundamental. Use the mnemonic "E-ES-E-onZ-EZ" to recall the pattern with verbs like parler (je parle, tu parles, il parle, nous parlons, vous parlez, ils parlent). Practise these forms in your French revision quiz to boost confidence for a Year 8 French test.

  2. Noun Gender and Definite/Indefinite Articles -

    French nouns are gendered, requiring the appropriate articles le/la (definite) and un/une (indefinite), as outlined in official KS3 guidelines. A handy rule is that most nouns ending in "-e" are feminine, but watch out for exceptions like le musée or le lycée. Drill these pairings in a free French quiz to internalize patterns and excel in your French vocabulary quiz.

  3. Adjective Agreement and Placement -

    Adjectives in French must agree in gender and number with the nouns they describe, as reinforced by the Académie Française. Most adjectives add an "-e" for feminine and an "-s" for plural (exemple: petit → petite, petits, petites). Remember that adjectives of beauty, age, goodness and size (BAGS) usually precede the noun, so say une belle maison or un grand jardin correctly.

  4. Passé Composé with Avoir and Être -

    The passé composé uses avoir for most verbs and être for Dr & Mrs Vandertramp verbs, per Académie Française recommendations. Form it with the present-tense auxiliary plus past participle (e.g., j'ai mangé, elle est venue), and watch for agreement with être. Testing this structure in a French grammar quiz will solidify your understanding for the Year 8 French test.

  5. Forming Questions: Inversion and "Est-ce que" -

    Learn the two main ways to ask questions: inversion (e.g., Parles-tu français ?) and "Est-ce que" at the front (e.g., Est-ce que tu parles français ?), as per the Ministry of Education's KS3 guidelines. Inversion adds a hyphen and swaps subject and verb, while "est-ce que" keeps the word order intact for beginners. Practise with targeted exercises in your French revision quiz to build fluency and confidence in oral and written tests.
