✅ Answers & Explanations

French Language

1. a) J’habite en France
Use en with feminine countries. France = la France → en France.

2. c) Je ne bois plus de café
“Ne... plus” means no longer.
“Ne bois pas” = I don’t drink.
“Ne bois jamais” = I never drink.

3. b) Un avion
Masculine noun!
Une maison and une voiture are feminine.

4. b) mon
Even though amie is feminine, we use mon before vowels to keep it smooth.

5. a) moi
“Je suis plus grande que toi” = I’m taller than you → moi wins.

French Culture

6. b) La tour de Bretagne
It’s in Nantes, not Paris.

7. c) Panadons

8. c) La FĂȘte Nationale
Celebrated on July 14 – it’s Bastille Day!

9. b) Astérix
Our small but mighty Gaul resisting Roman invaders.

10. b) L’Hexagone
That’s France’s nickname, because of its shape.
La Belle Province is Quebec.
La Ville LumiĂšre = Paris.

Spoken French

11. a) maison
The “on” sound is [ɔ̃], classic French nasal.

12. b) they have
Elles ont = They have.
Not to be confused with elles sont (they are).

13. b) J’sais pas
The most natural and common in conversation.

14. c) Je ne vois pas ce que tu veux dire
That’s the full written form of the informal J’vois pas c’que tu veux dire.
