Où est la boîte à outils ?
Marc entre dans le garage. Il cherche la boîte à outils rouge. Il regarde d’abord près du vélo, contre le mur de gauche. Elle n’est pas là. Il voit ensuite le carton en haut de l’étagère, mais la boîte n’est pas dedans. Enfin, il regarde sous l’établi : la voilà ! Marc prend la boîte et sort du garage. Il laisse le vélo, le carton et le pneu à leur place.
Marc goes into the garage. He is looking for the red toolbox. First he looks near the bicycle, against the left wall. It is not there. Next he sees the cardboard box at the top of the shelving unit, but the toolbox is not inside it. Finally he looks under the workbench: there it is! Marc takes the toolbox and leaves the garage. He leaves the bicycle, cardboard box and tyre in their places.
D’abord: first; dedans: inside; la voilà !: there it is!
Learn un établi (a workbench) and un interrupteur (a light switch); both are masculine. Le carton here means a cardboard box. A small case with a handle is une boîte à outils. In the clues, follow the complete phrase: à droite and à gauche identify different walls.
