Three small choices. How would you answer?

Choose an answer in your head, then open the correction. These are questions 2, 3 and 10 from Round 1, “Arrival in Nice”, page 52. The explanations below are added for this preview.

1. Translate: “a suitcase”

  1. un valise
  2. le valise
  3. une valise
  4. la valise
Show answer & explanation
C — une valise

Valise is feminine. Une means “a”; la means “the”. Learn the noun with its article.

2. Translate: “She is 29 years old.”

  1. Elle est 29 années.
  2. Elle est 29 ans.
  3. Elle a 29 ans.
  4. Elle a 29 année.
Show answer & explanation
C — Elle a 29 ans.

French uses avoir for age: elle a + a number + ans. English uses “is”, which makes this an easy habit to carry over.

3. Server: Bonjour. Vous désirez ? You want one coffee politely.

  1. Donne-moi un café.
  2. Je voudrais un café, s’il vous plaît.
  3. Je veux un café maintenant.
  4. Je voudrais une café, s’il vous plaît.
Show answer & explanation
B — Je voudrais un café, s’il vous plaît.

Je voudrais makes a polite request, and café is masculine: un café. The other choices are too direct here or use the wrong article.
