Question 2
'Seventy' in French is...
- A) sept-dix
- B) soixante-dix
- C) septante
- D) soixante
Show answer
Answer: soixante-dix
French numbers above 60 are tricky. 70 = 'soixante-dix' (60 + 10). 80 = 'quatre-vingts' (4 x 20). 90 = 'quatre-vingt-dix' (4 x 20 + 10). 99 = 'quatre-vingt-dix-neuf'. (Belgians + Swiss use 'septante', 'huitante', 'nonante' - simpler!) UK GCSE follows French French.

Question 3
'It's 3:15' in French is...
- A) Il est trois heures et quart
- B) Il est quinze trois
- C) C'est quinze
- D) Il fait trois heures
Show answer
Answer: Il est trois heures et quart
Time: Il est X heures Y. Quarter past = 'et quart'. Half past = 'et demie'. Quarter to = 'moins le quart'. Examples: 3:15 = trois heures et quart. 3:30 = trois heures et demie. 3:45 = quatre heures moins le quart. Noon = midi. Midnight = minuit.
