CBSE Class 7 French Practice Worksheet Set 03

Question 1. Donnez le pluriel de :
a) Livre
b) Voiture
c) Maison
d) Bal
e) Couteau
f) Orange
g) Marron
h) Blanc
i) Rouge
j) Ville
Answer:
a) Livres
b) Voitures
c) Maisons
d) Bals (Note: 'Bal' is an exception to the rule of words ending in '-al' taking '-aux'; it takes an '-s' in the plural)
e) Couteaux (Words ending in '-eau' add '-x' in the plural)
f) Oranges
g) Marrons (Color adjectives like 'marron' are invariable in some contexts, but as nouns or depending on school curriculum rules, they generally follow standard pluralization or remain marron. Here standard plural 'marrons' is applied)
h) Blancs (Adjectives add '-s' to form the masculine plural)
i) Rouges (Adjectives ending in '-e' take an '-s' for plural)
j) Villes
In simple words: Most French nouns and adjectives form their plural by adding an '-s', but words ending in '-eau' add an '-x'.
Exam Tip: Memorize exceptional nouns ending in '-al' like 'bal' (which take '-s' instead of '-aux') and '-eau' words (which always take '-x').
