Q1. Cochez la bonne réponse :-

Question 1. Mon amie est (africain/africaine).
Answer: Mon amie est africaine.
In simple words: The subject 'amie' is feminine singular, so the feminine adjective 'africaine' is chosen.

Question 2. Il parle une langue (étranger/étrangère).
Answer: Il parle une langue étrangère.
In simple words: The noun 'langue' is feminine singular, so we use the feminine adjective 'étrangère'.

Exam Tip: Look closely at the article ('une' is feminine) to determine the gender of the noun.

Question 3. Cette fille est très (actif/active).
Answer: Cette fille est très active.
In simple words: 'Fille' is a feminine noun, so the adjective 'actif' changes to its feminine form 'active'.

Question 4. La Seine est un (long/longue) fleuve.
Answer: La Seine est un long fleuve.
In simple words: The noun 'fleuve' is masculine singular, so the masculine adjective 'long' is used.
