Practice 80 original DELF B1 French questions covering vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening and writing, with detailed explanations.
Prendre rendez-vous is the standard fixed expression for making an appointment in French. Faire and donner can combine with other nouns, but with rendez-vous in this context, prendre is the verb a speaker naturally uses before visiting a doctor.
The verb arriver forms its passé composé with être, so the past participle agrees with the subject. Since elle is feminine singular, arrivée is correct; arrivé is masculine and the plural forms do not match the subject.
After si plus the imparfait, the main clause uses the conditionnel présent. Ferais is the first-person singular conditional of faire, while fais, ferai and ai fait belong to the present, future and passé composé tenses.
Il faut que is followed by the subjunctive. Finisses is the tu form of the present subjunctive of finir; finis is present indicative, finirais is conditional, and finissais is imperfect, none of which fits after il faut que.
When quand introduces a future condition, the verb in the main clause is the futur simple. Comprendras is the second-person singular future of comprendre, matching tu seras; the other options are present, past and conditional forms.
Livre is a masculine singular noun beginning with a consonant, so the demonstrative adjective ce is correct. Cette is feminine, cet appears before a vowel sound, and ces is plural.
Pronominal verbs use être in the passé composé, and the past participle agrees with the subject. Elle is feminine singular, so levée is correct; levé, levés and levées do not match the subject.
Dans expresses being inside a defined place such as a courtyard. Sur means on, à usually introduces a location without entering, and en is used with feminine countries or modes; dans la cour is the natural phrase here.
To give a range of clock hours, French uses de ... à, as in de huit heures à dix-huit heures. Du ... au is used for periods such as days or months, not for clock times.
Le film is masculine singular, and the direct object pronoun is le. Before a vowel, le becomes l', so je l'ai vu is correct; lui is an indirect object pronoun and does not replace the film.
The speaker is acting now because of the rain, so the present tense prends fits. Prendrai is future, ai pris is past, and prendrais is conditional; the context does not require those tenses.
In the passive voice with être, the past participle agrees with the subject. Réunion is feminine singular, so annulée is correct; the other forms are masculine or plural and do not agree.
Très modifies the adverb couramment, meaning very fluently. Beaucoup cannot directly modify an adverb here, and bien de and trop de require a noun instead of an adverb.
The relative pronoun qui replaces the subject of the clause, here personne. Que replaces a direct object, dont introduces a complement with de, and où indicates place or time.
In this clause, the museum is the direct object of visité, so the relative pronoun que is correct. Qui would be the subject, où would be a place, and dont would introduce a de-complement.
The missing word refers to a place where the keys were put, so où is the correct relative pronoun. Que and qui replace objects or subjects, and dont introduces a de-complement.
After the preposition sans, French uses the infinitive. Sans prendre means without taking; prenant is the present participle, and pris or prises are past participles that cannot follow sans here.
After de, the verb stays in the infinitive: n'oublie pas de fermer. Fermant is a participle, fermé is a past participle, and fermez is an imperative that does not fit the structure.
Marché is a masculine singular noun, so the preposition à contracts with le to form au. À la, à l' and aux do not agree with the masculine singular article le.
Plage is a feminine singular noun, so the destination takes à la: à la plage. Au is masculine, aux is plural, and en is used with countries or regions rather than a specific beach.
The field of study is la médecine, medicine as a discipline. Le médecin is the person, les médicaments are medicines, and la médication is not the standard word for the subject she studies.
Clock times in French are introduced by à, as in à 15h30. En is used for months or durations, dans means in from now, and pour introduces a destination or purpose.
Means of transport without an article use en: en avion, en train, en voiture. Par can introduce a route, avec means with, and à is used with a few vehicles like à vélo or à pied.
After beaucoup, French requires de before a noun: beaucoup de monde. Du, des and le do not follow beaucoup directly, so de is the only correct option.
Jupe is feminine singular, so the adjective noir takes the feminine form noire. Noir is masculine, noirs is masculine plural, and noires is feminine plural; none agrees with une jupe.
Parlé de introduces what was discussed, and de plus le contracts to du before projet. De la is feminine, des is plural, and à changes the meaning to talking to something.
The verb s'intéresser takes the preposition à: je m'intéresse à l'histoire. De, pour and sur are not used with this verb, so à is the only grammatically correct choice.
Se souvenir is followed by de: elle se souvient de son enfance. À, sur and avec are not the prepositions used with this pronominal verb, so de is correct.
The definite article les marks specific monuments already identified by the phrase de Paris. Des would be indefinite, du is masculine singular, and aux would require a different construction.
After the verb économiser, the partitive article de l' is used before a masculine singular noun beginning with a vowel: de l'argent. Du, le and des do not fit this partitive construction.
In a real condition introduced by si tu veux, the present tense dois expresses obligation in the result clause. Devrais is conditional, as dû is past, and devras shifts the statement into the future.
After de, French uses the infinitive: il est interdit de fumer. Fumant is a present participle, fumé is a past participle, and fumes is a conjugated form that does not fit the impersonal construction.
Reported speech about the future uses the conditionnel présent as the future-in-the-past. Arriverait shows that the arrival was still ahead when she spoke; arrive and est arrivée describe present or past facts, and arrivait is imperfect.
The relative pronoun qui is the subject of the verb est in the clause. Que would be a direct object, où a place, and dont a de-complement; here the apartment performs the action of being near the metro.
Où refers to a place where an action happens, so la ville où je suis né is correct. Que and qui would treat the city as an object or subject, and dont introduces a complement with de.
Il faut que requires the subjunctive, and fermions is the nous form of the present subjunctive of fermer. Fermons is present indicative, fermerions is conditional, and avons fermé is past.
Très modifies the adjective fatiguée: très fatiguée. Beaucoup does not directly modify an adjective, and trop de and plus de require a noun.
In a café order, un café means one cup of coffee. Une is feminine, du would be partitive, and des is plural; un is the correct indefinite article here.
In se serrer la main, the direct object la main follows the verb, so the past participle serré does not agree with se. The sentence means they shook hands, and plural agreement would only appear without the direct object.
Years take en in French: elle est née en 1995. Dans expresses a future period, à is used with clock times, and au is used before a masculine singular noun or month with mois.
Months take en: en août. Au is used with masculine countries or with au mois d'août, dans indicates a delay, and à is not used before months.
Clock times use à: à huit heures et demie. En is for months, dans for a delay, and pour for a destination or purpose.
Parce que introduces the cause: he succeeded because he worked hard. Pourtant and mais express contrast, and donc introduces a consequence rather than a reason.
A ticket for a destination uses pour: un billet pour Paris. À can indicate a place, but pour is the fixed preposition after billet; en and vers are not natural here.
Être doué en introduces a field of ability: douée en langues. Pour, à and de are not the prepositions used with this adjective.
Décider de is followed by an infinitive: décidé de partir. À, pour and sur are not used after this verb before an infinitive.
Arrêter de is followed by the infinitive: arrêté de fumer. À, pour and que do not fit the verb pattern.
Être content de is followed by an infinitive: content de te revoir. À and pour change the structure, and que would introduce a clause with a subjunctive.
Avoir peur de contracts de plus les to des: peur des chiens. De alone lacks the article, and aux and les are not used with this expression.
À demain is a fixed expression meaning see you tomorrow. En, dans and pour are not used in this farewell phrase.
The text says Marie emprunte deux livres à la bibliothèque each week, so borrowing is the correct answer. She does not buy books, write puzzles, or work at the library.
The announcement gives the reason directly: pour la fête de la musique. The other options mention roadworks, a race and rain, which do not appear in the text.
The survey reports that young French people spend three hours a day on their phones. The text says many would like to reduce this time, not increase it, and it does not say they avoid phones or prefer television.
The announcement says the train leaves from quai 4 and second-class passengers must board cars 12 to 18. The other options mix up the platform, car numbers, or limit the choice to a single car.
The message already cancels Wednesday's appointment and offers two new times, then asks the patient to call back to confirm. It does not ask for payment or a medical conversation.
The salesperson says sale items cannot be refunded but can be exchanged, so exchanging the dress is possible. A refund, a silent return and a free replacement are not offered in the message.
After j'aimerais que, the subjunctive is required. Veniez is the vous form of the present subjunctive of venir; venez, viendrez and êtes venus are indicative or past forms.
The imparfait describes a repeated habit in the past, so allais is correct. Suis allé is a completed single action, irai is future, and irais is conditional.
Hier places the action in the past, and aller uses être in the passé composé: nous sommes allés. Allions is imperfect, irons is future, and allons is present.
In reported speech, a present tense often becomes the imparfait: ne pouvait pas venir. Ne peut keeps the direct quote, ne pourra is future, and ne pourrait is conditional.
Passé composé combines avoir or être with a past participle. Elle a mangé uses avoir and nous sommes partis uses être; elle mange is present and ils partiront is future simple.
Pourriez-vous and je voudrais are polite forms. Tu me aides has a grammar error and an informal command, and donne le moi has wrong word order; neither is a polite request.
Mais and pourtant introduce contrast or opposition. Donc introduces a consequence, and parce que introduces a cause, so they do not belong in the opposition group.
Le and la replace direct objects, so je le vois and elle la regarde contain COD pronouns. Lui is an indirect object pronoun and y replaces a place or a de-complement.
Hôtel is masculine and école is feminine, so un hôtel and une école are correct. Université is feminine, une université, and ami is masculine, un ami, making the other pairs wrong.
Futur proche uses aller plus the infinitive: je vais partir and nous allons manger. Je partirai is futur simple, and nous mangeons is present tense.
Aller takes être in the passé composé, and the past participle agrees with the subject. For a male speaker, allé is the correct masculine singular form, so the statement is true.
Arriver takes être, not avoir, so the correct form is elle est arrivée. The sentence with avoir is incorrect, making the statement false.
Il faut que requires the subjunctive, so the correct form is il faut que j'aille. The indicative je vais does not fit after il faut que, so the statement is false.
Beaucoup de is the correct structure before a plural noun, so beaucoup de gens is grammatical. The statement is true.
S'intéresser takes the preposition à, so je m'intéresse à la musique is correct. The statement is true.
Naître uses être and years take en, so elle est née en 1995 is correct. The statement is true.
À plus le contracts to au, so the correct sentence is je vais au cinéma. Je vais à le cinéma is ungrammatical, making the statement false.
The sentence follows the standard hypothetical pattern: si plus imparfait followed by conditionnel présent. J'avais and je ferais work together correctly, so the statement is true.
Voir has the past participle vu, prendre gives pris, mettre gives mis, and boire gives bu. These irregular participles appear often in passé composé questions.
Avoir faim means to be hungry, avoir soif means to be thirsty, avoir sommeil means to be sleepy, and avoir peur means to be afraid. These everyday expressions use avoir with a noun.
Où asks about place, quand about time, pourquoi about reason, and comment about manner. Knowing question words helps understand instructions and listening prompts.
Et adds information, mais expresses opposition, donc introduces a consequence, and parce que gives a cause. These connectors organize both speaking and writing.
À is used with clock times, en with months or seasons, dans for a delay from now, and pendant for a duration. Each option matches one time context.
Entrée means entrance, sortie means exit, défense de fumer means no smoking, and renseignements means information. These signs appear in stations, shops and public buildings.
