How this quiz works
You have met the expressions; now choose them in context. Twelve small scenes help you connect the situation directly to the French, with explanations for every answer.
Each question gives you three choices. Pick the meaning or expression that fits the situation. Your score appears at the end; the existing Playground email form gives access to the answer key and explanations.
For the examples behind the game, read 20 French words that don't translate to English — complete guide. You can also play this quiz directly inside that guide.
Should I read the guide first?
You can try the game directly, or read the full guide first and use these questions to check what you understood.
What does my score tell me?
It shows how many questions you answered correctly on this topic. It does not certify a CEFR level. The B1 label is a guide to the difficulty of this activity.
Can I try again?
Yes. Return to the game after reviewing the explanations and the guide. Look for the meaning in context rather than memorising the position of an answer.
