In short

Une personne par cabine means one person per fitting room; trois vêtements au maximum means at most three garments. In this supplied shop, return hangers to reception and put unchosen garments in the marked place. These instructions belong to this practice notice.

Build each fitting-room phrase

Tap the words in the right order. Tap a placed word to send it back.

  1. One person per fitting room.

  2. Three garments at most.

  3. Fitting room two is free.

  4. This fitting room is occupied.

  5. Bring the hangers back to reception.

  6. Put the garments you are not choosing here.

  7. Keep your ticket with you.

  8. I am taking two garments.

Count people and garments separately

Une personne limits the number of people inside one room. Trois vêtements limits the items being tried on. A customer with two garments is below the maximum. A customer with four garments would exceed it in this notice. Neither number tells you the garment’s clothing size.

Libre and occupée describe current availability

La cabine deux est libre identifies the room available now. Occupée describes the other room. Cabine is feminine, which explains the feminine e in occupée. A numbered room label is separate from a size label such as M or L; cabine 2 does not mean a garment size.

Je peux utiliser la cabine deux ?

May I use fitting room two?

The hanger and the unchosen garment have separate destinations

Les cintres go back to l’accueil. Les vêtements non choisis go into the marked bin here. The notice does not direct you to leave every item inside the fitting room. Read the object after each instruction verb before deciding where it belongs.

Question 1No account needed
How many garments may one customer take under this notice?

Choose one answer.

Answer and explanation

At most three. Trois vêtements au maximum gives an upper limit of three garments.

Question 2No account needed
Which room is free in the supplied status list?

Choose one answer.

Answer and explanation

Room 2. The availability list marks cabine 2 as libre and cabine 1 as occupée.

Question 3No account needed
Where do the hangers go?

Choose one answer.

Answer and explanation

Back to reception. Rapportez les cintres à l’accueil explicitly names the hanger-return destination.

For an actual shop, use its current sign or ask the staff. The useful reading habit is to separate the limit, the object and the destination. A short instruction can give all three without a long explanation.
