Grade 7 french – Interactive Speaking Quiz
1. Which French sentence correctly asks 'Where is the bus stop?'
Use the verb-subject order 'Où est' and the correct contracted article 'l'' before a vowel sound: 'l'arrêt'.
2. Which is the polite formal way to ask 'Can you help me?' in French?
For polite/formal requests use the polite 'vous' form with inversion: 'Pouvez-vous'. 'm'aider' is correct placement of the object pronoun before the infinitive.
3. Which command correctly says 'Turn left' to a driver politely (vous)?
Imperative for 'vous' is 'Tournez'. Use 'à gauche' (no article). 'Tourne' is the 'tu' form, and 'à la gauche' is incorrect here.
4. How do you say 'to the school' in French (l'école starts with a vowel)?
Before a vowel sound the preposition + article contracts to 'à l'' (à + l'école = à l'école). 'au' is for masculine singular, 'aux' for plural.
5. Which is the correct present tense form for 'we take' (prendre)?
'Prendre' conjugated in the present for 'nous' is 'nous prenons'. 'nous prendrons' is future, 'nous prends' is incorrect, 'nous prendre' is the infinitive.
6. Which sentence correctly replaces 'Je vais à la gare' using the pronoun 'y'?
The pronoun 'y' replaces 'à + place' and is placed before the verb. 'Je' contracts with the vowel: J'y vais.
7. Replace 'Je prends deux tickets' with the correct sentence using 'en':
'En' replaces 'de + noun' and goes before the verb. The verb must agree: 'prends' (1st person singular) remains 'prends'.
8. Which question form correctly asks 'Is the station near?' using inversion?
Inversion for a yes/no question inserts '-elle' after the verb for feminine 'la gare': 'La gare est-elle près ?' is correct inversion.
9. How do you say 'Show me the way' using the polite imperative with an object pronoun?
Imperative 'Montrez' (vous) plus object pronoun attached with a hyphen: 'Montrez-moi'. Plural 'chemines' is incorrect.
10. Which possessive is correct for 'my school' (école, feminine starting with a vowel)?
For a feminine noun beginning with a vowel sound, French uses 'mon' instead of 'ma' to avoid hiatus: 'mon école'.
11. Which preposition is correct for 'I am going to the doctor'?
'Chez' is used to indicate going to someone's place or professional: 'chez le médecin'. 'à le' is incorrect (should contract to 'au' but we use 'chez').
12. A girl wants to say 'I am lost.' Which is grammatically correct?
Past participle/adjective 'perdu' agrees with the speaker's gender. A girl (feminine) uses 'perdue' with an extra 'e'.
13. How do you correctly say 'The station is near the school'?
'Près de' requires the preposition 'de' before the noun: 'près de l'école'. Other options misuse prepositions or articles.
14. Which phrase correctly means 'between the post office and the bank'?
'Entre ... et ...' is the correct structure to express 'between ... and ...' in French.
15. Which sentence correctly uses 'devant' to say 'The bank is in front of the post office'?
'Devant' is used without an extra preposition: 'devant la poste'. Other forms add incorrect articles or prepositions.
16. Which interrogative adjective correctly matches 'rue' (feminine) in 'Which street?'
The interrogative adjective must agree in gender and number with the noun: 'rue' is feminine singular → 'Quelle'.
17. Which is the correct use of 'lequel' to ask 'Which one (masculine) is the matatu?'
'Lequel' is the masculine singular form meaning 'which one' and agrees with a masculine noun.
18. Which sentence correctly uses the near future 'aller + infinitive' for 'I am going to take a taxi'?
Near future is formed with present of 'aller' + infinitive: 'Je vais + prendre'. Other options are present or incorrect forms.
19. How do you say 'I have just arrived' using 'venir de'?
Recent past is 'venir de' + infinitive. Because 'arriver' begins with a vowel, 'de' contracts to 'd''.
20. Which sentence correctly negates 'I know where it is' (Je sais où c'est)?
Standard French negation places 'ne' before the verb and 'pas' after it: 'Je ne sais pas'.
21. How do you correctly say 'There are two buses' in French?
'Il y a' is the impersonal expression for 'there is/are'. It does not change with plural: 'Il y a deux bus.'
22. Which expression correctly means 'on foot'?
'À pied' is the standard French expression for 'on foot'. Other prepositions are incorrect in this context.
23. Which question correctly asks 'How much does this ticket cost?' in an informal spoken style?
Informal spoken French often uses 'Combien ça coûte' with the item added after; it is natural and correct. The other options misuse word order.
24. Which imperative phrase politely asks someone to 'Wait here, please'?
For polite or plural form use 'Attendez' (vous) and pair with 's'il vous plaît'. Using 's'il te plaît' with 'attendez' mixes registers.
25. Which sentence correctly uses 'y' to say 'I go there every day'?
'Y' precedes the conjugated verb and 'je' contracts to 'j'' before a vowel: 'J'y vais'.
26. Which form correctly asks 'Which bus goes to Nairobi?' (bus = masculine)?
The interrogative adjective 'quel' must agree with the masculine singular noun 'bus' → 'Quel bus'.
