🧠 Questions 1–5: How Did You Do?

1. Feeling Unwell 🤒

Question: If you’re feeling unwell, what might you say to a friend?

✅ Correct Answer: d) Je ne me sens pas bien.

Meaning: “I am not feeling well.”

This is a very useful everyday phrase when you’re feeling sick or simply don’t feel okay.

❌ Il fait beau = The weather is nice.

❌ Bonne journée = Have a good day.

💡 Remember:

Je ne me sens pas bien.
= I don’t feel well.


2. Looking for a Movie 🎬

Question: What might you check when you want to watch a specific movie?

✅ Correct Answer: a) Regarder le programme de cinéma.

Meaning: “Check the movie schedule/program.”

The important vocabulary here is:

programme de cinéma = movie schedule/program

❌ Vérifier les horaires de bus = Check the bus schedule.

So unless you’re trying to catch a bus instead of a movie, that’s not the answer! 😄


3. A Synonym for “Happy” 😊

✅ Correct Answer: c) Joyeux

Meaning: “Joyful / Happy”

This is a useful synonym to add to your French vocabulary.

❌ Triste = Sad

❌ Fatigué = Tired

🧠 Quick memory check:

joyeux → happy

triste → sad


4. Another Word for “Nice” 👍

✅ Correct Answer: c) Gentil

Meaning: “Kind / Nice”

You can use gentil when describing someone who is kind or nice.

❌ Méchant = Mean / Bad

❌ Impoli = Rude

So if someone is kind to you:

Il est gentil.
“He is nice.”


5. Asking to Borrow Something ✏️

✅ Correct Answer: b) Puis-je emprunter ton stylo ?

Meaning: “May I borrow your pen?”

This is a great everyday phrase.

The key verb is:

emprunter = to borrow

❌ Prends ton stylo = Take your pen.

Notice the difference:

emprunter → borrow

prendre → take

8. Neither Hot Nor Cold 🌡️

Here’s a slightly trickier one.

Which word describes something that is neither hot nor cold?

Compare:

🔥 chaud = hot

Frais can describe pleasantly cool temperatures or something fresh, depending on context.

10. What Does “Fast” Mean? 🚀

✅ Correct Answer: a) Rapide

Meaning: “Fast / Quick”

Easy one!

rapide = fast

And here’s the opposite:

❌ Paresseux = Lazy

❌ Calme = Calm / Quiet

You’re late for an appointment.

What could you tell someone who’s waiting?
