  2. Question 2 of 17

    You did not understand the examiner's question. What is the best thing to say?
    Show answer

    Asking politely to repeat, with « pourriez-vous » and « s'il vous plaît », is natural and correct with someone you do not know.

  5. Question 5 of 17

    Which question is grammatically correct?
    Show answer

    Answer: D. Proposez-vous des réductions pour les étudiants ?

    With inversion, the verb comes first and is joined to the subject by a hyphen: proposez-vous. Do not mix inversion with « est-ce que ».

    You need a moment to think before answering. What can you say?

  10. Question 10 of 17

    Complete the answer: « Ce quartier est calme. ___, il est tout près du métro. »
    Show answer

    Answer: B. De plus

    Both ideas are positive, so you need a connector that adds a second argument: « De plus » (moreover). « Pourtant » introduces a contrast and « donc » a consequence.

  11. Question 11 of 17

    Which phrase is best to end your answer to an opinion question?
    Show answer

    Answer: A. Pour conclure, les avantages l'emportent.

    « Pour conclure » announces the end and sums up your position. « D'abord » and « premièrement » start a list.

  12. Question 12 of 17

    Choose the correct verb form: « Si j'avais plus de temps, j'___ le piano. »
    Show answer

    Answer: C. apprendrais

    Si + imparfait (avais) is followed by the conditional (apprendrais). « Apprendrai » is the future.

  13. Question 13 of 17

    Choose the correct verb form: « L'année dernière, je ___ en France pour la première fois. »
    Show answer

    Answer: D. suis allé

    A finished past event uses the passé composé, and aller takes être: je suis allé(e).

  14. Question 14 of 17

    Which answer agrees only in part with an idea?
    Show answer

    Answer: D. D'accord en partie, mais il faut penser au coût.

    « D'accord en partie, mais… » shows a nuanced view: partial agreement plus a reservation.

  15. Question 15 of 17

    In a role-play, the examiner plays a friend who is visiting your city. Which sentence gives advice?
    Show answer

    Answer: C. Je te conseille d'aller au marché le samedi.

    « Je te conseille de + infinitive » gives advice. With a friend, « te » (tu form) fits.

  16. Question 16 of 17

    What does « Il est vrai que…, néanmoins… » help you do?
    Show answer

    Answer: C. Admettre un point, puis présenter une idée opposée

    « Il est vrai que » admits a point and « néanmoins » (nevertheless) brings a contrasting idea. This shows a nuanced opinion.

  17. Question 17 of 17

    The examiner uses a word you do not know: « colocation ». What is the best reaction?
    Show answer

    Answer: D. Excusez-moi, que veut dire « colocation » ?

    In a conversation, you may ask what a word means. It is better than guessing and answering off topic.
