Quiz

French names and numbers quiz: who did what, and how many?

Edited by Chris Lee · Updated · About the library

Read an organiser’s French update, then answer eight questions on names, group totals, ticket prices, duration and corrected quantities. B1 practice with pictures.

In short

Keep a name with its action and a number with its noun and unit. Quinze euros is a price; cinquante minutes is a duration. An option can repeat a real number from the passage and still attach it to the wrong thing.

Bonjour à tous ! Pour la visite de dimanche, notre groupe comprend douze adultes et huit enfants. Le billet pour un adulte coûte quinze euros ; l’entrée est gratuite pour les enfants du groupe. La visite guidée dure cinquante minutes. Nora a réservé les billets. Malik enverra les invitations demain. Il précise : « Nora a déjà confirmé notre réservation. » Pour l’accueil, nous avions prévu vingt badges, mais il en faut finalement vingt-quatre pour inclure les quatre bénévoles. Les badges seront distribués par Inès. Malik a préparé trente enveloppes ; il en reste dix à remplir. Nora apportera les affiches.

Hello everyone! For Sunday’s visit, our group consists of twelve adults and eight children. An adult ticket costs fifteen euros; entry is free for the children in the group. The guided visit lasts fifty minutes. Nora has booked the tickets. Malik will send the invitations tomorrow. He adds: “Nora has already confirmed our booking.” For reception, we had planned twenty badges, but we finally need twenty-four to include the four volunteers. Inès will hand out the badges. Malik has prepared thirty envelopes; ten remain to be filled. Nora will bring the posters.

Four objects: keep the French noun beside the detail

For each answer, find the actor or the label as well as the familiar figure. The message separates the visiting group from the volunteers helping at reception. It also gives an earlier badge count followed by a correction. In Malik’s quotation, follow the subject of the action: speaking about a booking and making the booking are different roles.
