Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Adjectives

Choose the correct possessive adjective to go in the blank.

"Tu habites ici?"

"Oui, c'est __________ maison."

Possible Answers:

ta

mon

ton

ma

mes

Correct answer:

ma

Explanation:

"Maison" is a feminine noun, therefore in order to say "my house," the correct form of my is "ma."

Example Question #2 : Adjectives

Choose the correct answer to complete the sentence.

Je n'ai rien mangé ce matin. J'ai __________.

Possible Answers:

faim

honte

hâte

peur

envie

Correct answer:

faim

Explanation:

This sentence means "I didn't eat anything this morning. I am __________." It does not make sense to next say that you are scared or ashamed. It also does not make sense to say that you are looking forward to something or that you want something.

Example Question #3 : Adjectives

Choose the grammatically correct sentence.

Possible Answers:

Tu as un appartement beau.

Tu as une belle appartement.

Tu as un bel appartement.

Tu as une appartement belle.

Tu as un beau appartement.

Correct answer:

Tu as un bel appartement.

Explanation:

"Appartement" is a masculine noun, but it also begins with a vowel sound. The preceding adjective cannot end in a vowel sound as well. "Bel" is a masculine adjective used to place a consonant between the two vowel sounds. Adjectives referring to beauty are always placed before the noun.
