Part 3: Grammar (10 Marks)

  1. Identify the gender of the following nouns (Masculine/Feminine):

    • Table - Feminine (la table)
    • Livre (book) - Masculine (le livre)
    • Fille (girl) - Feminine (la fille)
    • Homme (man) - Masculine (l’homme)
    • Maison (house) - Feminine (la maison)
    • Explanation: Nouns in French are either masculine or feminine, and it is important to learn their gender because articles and adjectives must agree with them.

  2. Match the articles with the correct noun:

    • le voiture (incorrect) → la voiture (the car - feminine)
    • les enfants (correct) (the children - plural)
    • le école (incorrect) → l’école (the school - vowel contraction)
    • Explanation: Articles in French must match the gender and number of the noun. Le is masculine singular, la is feminine singular, les is plural, and l’ is used before a vowel sound.

Write the following numbers in French:

  1. 5 - cinq
  2. 11 - onze
  3. 20 - vingt
  4. 7 - sept
  5. 15 - quinze
    • Explanation: French numbers follow a specific pattern. It's important to memorize numbers 1-20, as they are the foundation for learning larger numbers.

Part 5: Sentence Formation (5 Marks)

Rearrange the words to form a correct French sentence:

  1. Je parle français (I speak French)

    • Explanation: In French, the subject comes before the verb, and the object follows the verb.

  2. J’ai une grande maison (I have a big house)

    • Explanation: J’ai means "I have." In French, adjectives come after the noun they describe.

  3. J’aime la musique (I like music)

    • Explanation: J’aime means "I like," and la musique is the noun for "music."

  4. Où es-tu ? (Where are you?)

    • Explanation: Où means "Where," and es-tu is the inversion form used for questions (you are).

  5. Comment allez-vous ? (How are you? - formal)

    • Explanation: Comment means "How," and allez-vous is the formal version of asking "How are you?"

Examples and Additional Explanations:

  • Subject-Verb Agreement: In French, the verb conjugation changes depending on the subject. For example, je mange (I eat) vs. nous mangeons (we eat).
  • Gender Agreement: Articles, adjectives, and even some verbs must agree with the gender and number of the nouns. For example, une grande maison (a big house) is feminine, so both the article and adjective are in their feminine forms.
  • Inversion in Questions: French often uses inversion in formal questions. For example, Où es-tu ? is the correct form for "Where are you?" rather than the English structure of "Where you are?"
