Grade 7 french â Guided Writing Quiz
1. Which definite article is correct for the word "tĂȘte" (head)?
TĂȘte is a feminine noun in French, so it takes the feminine singular definite article la.
2. What is the correct plural form of "le bras" (the arm)?
Bras is pluralized in writing with an -s (les bras) but pronounced the same; there is no extra syllable or change in the word.
3. How do you say "my hand" in French?
Main (hand) is feminine singular, so the correct possessive is ma main.
4. Choose the grammatically correct sentence for "He has brown eyes."
Marron (brown) is invariable for color when used with eyes: Il a les yeux marron. Also French uses definite article les with body parts after avoir.
5. Which sentence correctly says "I wash my face" using the reflexive form?
Reflexive verbs place the reflexive pronoun (me) before the conjugated verb: Je me lave. With body parts French uses definite article: le visage.
6. How do you correctly say "She brushes her teeth" in French?
Reflexive pronoun se goes before the verb (se brosse). With body parts use definite article: les dents (plural).
7. Which passé composé sentence with a reflexive pronoun is correct for "She washed her hair"?
With reflexive verbs, the past participle agrees with the reflexive pronoun only if that pronoun is the direct object. Here les cheveux is the direct object placed after the verb, so there is no agreement: lavé.
8. Which definite article is correct for the word "nez" (nose)?
Nez is a masculine noun in French, so it takes the masculine singular article le.
9. What is the correct plural of "l'Ćil" (the eye)?
Oeil is irregular in the plural: l'Ćil becomes les yeux.
10. Choose the correct sentence for "She has long hair."
Cheveux is plural, so the adjective long must agree in plural masculine: longs. Also body parts with avoir use the definite article les.
11. How do you say "a small mouth" in French with correct adjective agreement?
Bouche is feminine singular, so the adjective petit becomes petite and the article is une.
12. Which is the correct possessive for "my ear" (oreille)?
Oreille is feminine but begins with a vowel, so ma becomes mon for ease of pronunciation: mon oreille.
13. How do you correctly say "I don't have a scar" in French?
When negating avoir (to have) in French, use ne... pas de + noun: Je n'ai pas de cicatrice.
14. Choose the correct formal inversion question for "Do you have a fever?"
Formal inversion puts the verb before the subject pronoun: As-tu. Use de la fiĂšvre for fever. A-tu is wrong because inversion requires the hyphen and correct verb form.

After a number use the noun without an article: deux bras. Using des or les with the number is incorrect here.
16. How do you say "He has red hair" (masculine form) correctly?
Roux (red-haired) matches masculine plural cheveux as roux (no extra e). Rouges would be the color red (rouge) but hair color often uses roux for red hair.

Nos is the plural possessive for nous (our) and yeux is the correct plural of Ćil: nos yeux.
18. How do you say "We are washing our hands" correctly in French?
Reflexive pronoun nous comes before the conjugated verb: nous nous lavons. Use plural les mains for hands.
19. Choose the correct sentence for "She has dark skin."
Peau is feminine singular, so the adjective must be feminine singular: foncée. Use la peau for skin.

When a noun begins with a vowel, the definite article is contracted to l' (l'oreille).
