Hi!
Hi!
Hi!
Welcome to another episode
of French Mornings.
If you're learning French,
you've come to the right place.
I'm Elisa and on this channel I
help you to improve your French
and speak more naturally.
Today, we're going to take a big test
for levels B1-B2 in French, i.e.
intermediate, upper intermediate.
If you don't know your
exact level of French,
This will help you figure it out.
If you can answer all the questions in
this video fairly easily, then you
most likely have a B2 level.
But be careful, these are
obviously not official tests.
So get comfortable,
turn on the subtitles if you need them,
and let's start!
Let's start with the most
common mistakes in French.
In the sentences that appear
on the screen, are you able to
identify the mistakes
and correct them?
Look closely at these two sentences.
Which do you think is correct?
"Thank you for looking
after the children." Or,
"Thank you for looking
after the children."
If you answered the second
one bravo, that's it.
When you want to use the word "merci"
followed by a verb, you must use
the preposition "de" in the middle.
Let's look at some other examples.
Please be quiet.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for calling me back.
In a slightly more official context,
for example in a store, in English
we'd translate that as "please".
For example: "Merci de ne pas
toucher" = Please do not touch.
On the other hand, if you use "merci"
followed by a noun, then
in this case you can
use both, either "pour" or "de".
For example: "Thank you
for your attention. Or,
"Thank you for your attention."
"Merci de", it's a slightly more
formal level of language, but
you could very well say both.
Do you think this sentence is correct?
I wanted to make a cake,
but we're out of flour.
If you answered no, you're right.
In a negative sentence or after
an adverb of quantity such as :
&lt;i&gt;beaucoup, plus, moins,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;etc.
we always use the
preposition "de" and that's it.
For example: "She doesn't want
presents for her birthday."
"I've got too much work today."
"There's no place to park."
"I've decided to eat less sugar."
It's a little mistake that I
hear quite often and that you
can easily correct.
What's more, it's going to help you a lot
because you won't even have to worry about
the gender or number of the
word, as there is no article.
Do you think this sentence is correct?
"I've always said what I thought."
If you answered no,
once again you're right.
The correct phrase would be :
"I've always said what I think.
Here the mistake was the position
of "toujours",
the place of the adverb, particularly
in the passé composé, is a mistake
that I hear a lot.
In the past tense you can get a
bit confused when you want to make
a negative sentence or a
sentence with an adverb.
A lot of my students get a bit confused
by the word order because
it's a little different
from their mother tongue.
So remember that the adverb is placed
between the two parts of the verb,
i.e. between the auxiliary
and the past participle.
So, the correct order will
be: "I've always said."
To try and avoid making the mistake
again, you can practise repeating
a few sentences, and try to remember
them like a little piece of music
to help you repeat them
more naturally when you
speak French.
In the compound past tense, we say:
I've always said that.
I've often said that.
I said that too much.
I said that again. Etc.
And for negative sentences we have :
I didn't say that.
I never said that.
Or, I didn't say that much.
Do you understand?
Let's do a small test.
Which of these three sentences
do you think is correct?
She's always talked to
me a lot about her plans.
She's always talked to
me a lot about her plans.
She's always talked to me
a lot about her plans.
The correct sentence
was the first sentence.
She's always talked to
me a lot about her plans.
Even if there are two adverbs,
we keep them in the same place,
i.e. between the two
parts of the compound verb.
Answer yes to this question
using the verb "aimer" (to like/love).
Do you like cycling?
You probably answered one
of these two questions:
"Yes, I do." Or,
"Yes, I like it."
Or, "Yes, I do."
These two sentences are both grammatically
correct, but we don't
use them in exactly the same context.
We're talking about an action here.
We're talking about cycling, so
there's a verb in this sentence.
So to this question, do you like cycling?
The correct answer is: "Yes, I like it."
Or, "Yes I like it."
Because it's an action.
This is the answer we'll also use to
talk about a more general concept.
For example, do you like music?
Yes, I like it, or yes, I like it.
But if we're talking about
something very specific
we use, "Yes I do."
For example: Do you like this song?
Yes, I like it.
And it's the same for people.
Do you like your new colleague?
Yes, I like him/her.
Does this sentence sound natural to you?
Because of the virus, I
need to get home before 7pm.
If this sentence doesn't
sound natural to you
there's a good reason.
The sentence is grammatically
correct, but naturally in French
we wouldn't say that.
It's more natural to say:
Because of the virus, I
have to get home before 7pm.
Why is this?
To do this, we need to explain
the definition of the word "besoin" (need).
A "besoin" is something that is
considered necessary for existence,
in other words, our own
existence as a person.
So the phrase "besoin"
means that we need something
so that we can exist.
A bit philosophical but that's it.
So when you say "J'ai besoin"
followed by an
action, i.e. a verb, that
means that if we don't do
this thing, our existence
is being called into question.
In other words, if I don't do this thing,
I'm going to feel bad, or
something bad will
happen to me.
And that on the contrary, if I
do this thing, I'll feel better.
For example:
I need to talk to you.
The meaning of this
sentence is that I
need to talk to you to make
me feel better, personally.
need to talk to you to make
me feel better, personally.
Whereas if I say: "I have to talk to you."
Here the idea is slightly different.
In other words, if I say: "I have
to talk to you." It's because there are
external circumstances that
make it so that
I'm obligated to talk to you.
I agree that the difference
between the two is quite subtle,
and that sometimes both can be
used depending on the context.
But there are times when
that's not possible.
So, did you get it?
Let's take a small test on it.
Complete this sentence with
"avoir besoin" or "devoir".
The correct answer here is :
My train is late, I still have to wait
an hour at the station.
Here we're talking about external
circumstances, it's the train that's late
and so I have to wait at the
station because of the train.
Don't forget that you can also use
"avoir besoin" simply in front of
a noun. For example :
To make this cake, I need three eggs.
So, how many mistakes did you find?
Let me know in the comments section!
We let's continue with a test of
B1 vocabulary in 15 questions.
For each question, I'll'
be nice and give you
the first letter of the answer.
You also have 5 seconds to

This noun is also often used in the
plural, and we call them scissors.
Scissors are what you use to cut.
And that's also what we say in
the game: rock, paper, scissors.
Let's continue now with a
slightly more amusing test,
or a bit more fun.
Can you find the meaning
of these typical French expressions?
This test won't really be able to
determine your level, but if it is
difficult for you, it means
you're not exposed
to enough authentic content.
You should listen
to more music, watch more films
or read more books.
And we're going to start
right away with the first.
This isn't Versailles.
Does that mean you need
to turn off the light?
This place isn't beautiful.
Or is it something very difficult?
This isn't Versailles, means:
you have to turn off the light.
It's an expression that all French
people are familiar with, because their
parents tell them when they are children.
When you're little and you forget
to turn off the light, your parents
say: "This isn't Versailles".
That means we can't keep all
the lights in the house on
because electricity is expensive.
Expression number 2: "Faire des chichis"
Does this mean :
To customise an object.
To refuse something by
making complications.
Or to want to impress
a group of people?
"Faire des chichis" means
refusing with complications,
giving negative reasons that
are not always very valid.
For example, to a child who
refuses to eat vegetables,
we'll say to them: "Stop making
a fuss and finish your plate".
Expression number 3.
To not have your tongue
in your pocket.
Does this mean :
To talk a lot.
To at a lot, or to be bossy?
The pocket is a small
compartment found in clothing.
For example, a trouser pocket or
a jacket pocket.
And when you don't have your tongue in
your pocket, it means
you haven't put away your
tongue and you use it a lot to talk.
And sometimes a little too much.
And sometimes a little too much.
We use this expression to refer
to someone who sometimes talks
without thinking and
goes a bit over the top.
For example:
She's a outspoken comedian
who "doesn't have her tongue in her pocket."
It's a funny, cute expression
that I really like.
And let me know in the comments if
there's an equivalent in your language.
Expression number 4.
To put your spleen in the stock.
Does this mean :
To never worry about anything.
To get angry easily, or to worry and fret?
"Se mettre la rate au court-bouillon"
means to worry.
It's a pretty funny expression and I
have the impression that a lot of people
use it without really
being sure of the meaning.
The spleen is a very important
organ in the human body
for the immune system.
And "court-bouillon" is a stock
in which food is cooked.
So the image here is of putting
your own spleen into a broth.
Which I imagine would
be quite painful.
But we use this
expression mainly in a negative sense.
In other words, to say
we're not going to do it.
For example: I'm not going
to "put my spleen in the broth" for him.
That's his problem, not mine.
In other words, I'm not going
to worry about something
which is not my problem.
It's his.
Expression number 5. To have
teeth that scratch the floor.
Does this mean :
To be very hungry.
T have big teeth,
or to be ambitious?
To have teeth that scrape
the floor is to be ambitious.
I like this expression.
I think the image is quite funny.
"Parquet" is the floor.
It's a floor made from wood.
And we have this image of someone
with big teeth who has teeth
so big they scratch the floor.
We use this expression
to talk about someone who is
prepared to do anything to succeed.
For example: He seems nice, but watch out,
"he has teeth that scratch the floor".
Expression number 6.
Looking for noon at 2pm.
Does this mean :
Being bad at maths,
to make a simple problem
even more complicated,
or to want to do something too difficult?
"Looking for noon at 2pm" means making a
simple problem even more complicated.
You can look for a long time on a clock,
for noon at 2pm, you'll never find it.
And that's what this
expression is all about.
When you look for noon at 2pm, you
choose the most difficult path
for doing something.
You could also say,
"Why make things complicated
when you can make them simple?"
That's the meaning of this expression too.
Expression number 7.
To be at the end of your scroll.
Does this mean :
To give the wrong answer to a question,
to travel and have lots of adventures
Or to be mentally and
physically exhausted?
Being at the end of your scroll means being
exhausted, both mentally and physically.
Originally, when we talked about a scroll,
we were talking about a stick around
which pages were
rolled to create a scroll.
And that's also where
the word role comes from.
For example, the role
of an actor in a film.
In the past, theatre roles
were written on parchment
distributed to the actors.
The actors, who were not the
main characters but rather
secondary characters were given
small roles known as "rôlet".
They were shorter with fewer lines.
And when they had nothing more to say, in
other words, when they had said all their
of their lines, it was said that
they had reached the end of the scroll.
And later on, this expression
was also used to refer to someone
who was in a situation where
they didn't know what to do,
where they had nothing more to say.
In the 19th century, this expression
was transformed even further.
We changed "rôlet" with "rouleau".
And at that time,
when we spoke about "rouleau",
we're talking about the rolls
used by bankers to store coins.
And so someone who had reached
the end of his "rouleau" was someone
who had no money left.
Now it's mainly used to say that
you're quite tired, exhausted.
For example, I've been working late all
week and I'm at the end of my tether.
Expression number 8, It
doesn't break three legs of a duck.
Does this mean :
It's nothing exceptional,
it's very expensive, or
something of very good quality?
"It doesn't break three legs of a duck"
means that it's something
which is not exceptional.
It's an expression that's far too
violent in its meaning, because we
completely condemn
violence against animals.
But the idea is that a
duck only has two legs.
And you can only break two.
But if we could break three of
them, that would be incredible.
So when we use this expression it means
that we are disappointed, that we
expected something better.
For example: I'd heard it was a
great film, but frankly,
"it doesn't break three legs of a duck."
We'll now move on to a B2 vocabulary test.
A little more difficult
but I think you can do it.
Tell me in the comments
how many mistakes you made.
Let's start the test!
For each question, you'll have 7 seconds
to answer, and I'll also
give you the first
letter of each word.
Ready?
Let's start!

we don't know.
It's a prejudice.

you're worried
about someone or something.
Number 6. We're looking for a noun,
it's the effect of an action or an
event that happened in the past.
And in the present, it has a
It's a consequence.
Actions always have consequences.
We're looking for a very
French expression here.
When someone says something that isn't
true but doesn't want to admit that it is
when they know full well
that it's not true.
They say it's
It's called bad faith.
When you say something and you know
it's not true and you don't want to
admit that you're wrong it's in bad faith.
Number 8 is a verb that
means to go backwards.
It's the verb "reculer".
"Reculer" means
to go backwards.
Number 9. Another expression
when you sleep very late in the
morning you're said to be
&lt;i&gt;"Faire la grasse matinée"&lt;/i&gt;
Sleeping in.
It's an expression we use a
lot when we sleep very late.
Sleeping in.
You could even say &lt;i&gt;"une grasse mat'"&lt;/i&gt;
(a lie-in).
Number 10.
We are looking for a verb that is a
synonym, i.e. that means the same thing
as the verb to cut, but
which begins with a T.
It's the word "trancher" (to slice).
"Trancher" means
the same thing as to cut.
Number 11.
It's a positive emotion we feel at the
thought of doing something that
makes us happy, when we
can't wait to do something,
it's called

It's enthusiasm.
Number 12.
When something is very
ordinary, very common,
not at all original,
we say it's

in the feminine form.

to run to let off steam.
Number 17.
We're looking for an
expression when a show or
a film has a lot of success,
it's said to have made a..
"un carton" (cardboard).
"Carton" is the material in which
we receive parcels, for example,
but the expression "faire un carton" means

means to provoke an emotion.
If you're still with me, well done!
You're really motivated!
Let's move on to the last test in
this video, which is a dictation.
It's a fairly simple text, at A2-B1 level,
but it will be very interesting for you
to check whether you have mastered all
the basics of French
grammar and conjugation.
This dictation is at around an A2-B1
level, i.e. fairly intermediate.
It mainly contains verbs in
the present tense, but also
in certain past tenses.
And the text I'm about to read is an
extract from "Les Malheurs de Sophie".
This novel was written by the
Comtesse de Ségur in 1858.
It recounts the adventures of Sophie
de Réan, a little girl from a family of
of aristocrats who gets up to
nothing but mischief.
Before I start, I'd like to give
you two pieces of information.
In this text, there are verbs in the
simple past tense with an A ending.
In this case, there are no tricks.
In the simple past tense, the ending
for he or she for first-group verbs
like to sing or to dance
or to talk, it's simply A.
He sang.
She danced.
We talked.
And secondly, let's
talk about punctuation.
Let's talk about the
signs you'll have to write too.
So here are the names of the
punctuation marks you will be using.
These two signs are
called inverted commas.
When we do a dictation, we say "open the
inverted commas" to announce
that we need to
write this opneing sign, and then we say
"close the inverted commas" to announce
that you need to write the closing sign.
And in real life we sometimes use the
expression "between inverted commas" when
we make this sign with our fingers.
Then this sign is called a full stop.
And this one is called a comma.
Now that you know everything
you need to know, are you ready?
If so, grab a sheet of paper and
a pencil or pen and let's start!
Be careful, don't write on your phone
or computer as very
often you'll have the
automatic corrector,
and that would be cheating!
First I'm going to read you the text
once, then you'll write it down
and then I'll read it a second time.
The second time,
try rereading and correcting
any errors you see.
&lt;i&gt;**Subtitles&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; will&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; resume &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;after&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; the&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; dictation!**&lt;/i&gt;

I'll repeat.

I'll say it again.

We're almost finished!

--
--

So, how was it?
I'm going to read you
the text a second time.
Take the time to check
the endings of verbs

All good?
So now we'll move on to the correction.
The first sentence is: Sophie
looked in the mirror one day,
and thought her eyebrows were too thin.
Be careful, this is where we have the
verbs in the simple past
that I told you about.
But there aren't any tricks.
Sophie looked at herself &lt;i&gt;(regarda, A)&lt;/i&gt;,
and found &lt;i&gt;(trouva, A)&lt;/i&gt;.
Quite simply.
Then there's a plural in this sentence
with eyebrows that are too thin.
Make sure you put the S in "sourcils"
and also in the adjective "maigres".
Watch "ses" (her) eyebrows too.
"Ses" is spelt with an
S because they are hers.
Her own eyebrows.
And the expression "se regarder
dans la glace",
if you're not familiar with it,
It means to look in the mirror.
It's a word that's used a little less,
the word 'glace' was used more often
back then, but less so today.
And if you want to clearly understand
all the vocabulary in this dictation,
you will find it in the PDF
in the description.
On to the second sentence.
"Because," she says, "Hair
gets thicker when you cut it,
eyebrows, which are small
hairs, should do the same.
Here we have two fairly irregular verbs.
The verbs "devenir" (to become),
and "devoir" (have to)
are conjugated in the present tense.
"Les cheveux deviennent"
(hair becomes) is plural,
so the ending is ENT,
and  the conjugation is "deviennent",
in the present tense.
What about the verb "devoir"?
we have "ils doivent" with
ENT again for the plural.
We also have the plural with
"les cheveux épais" (thick hair)
watch out, cheveux (hair)
in the plural takes an
X, it doesn't take an S,
we say "les cheveux"
and we write it with an X.
And the adjective "épais" (thick)
already has an S,
so we'll leave it like that.
If you had to write it in the
feminine, you'd write "épaisses".
We would double the S and
add the E to the feminine.
And "faire de même" is
an expression that means
to do the same thing, to do the same.
There is a circumflex
accent on the E in "même".
Then we continue.
So I'm going to cut them so that
they grow back really thick."
Be careful, we write "couper"
(to cut) here in the infinitive,
i.e. with ER at the end.
When two verbs follow each other,
the second is in the infinitive.
Then there's also the verb
"repousser", which means that the hair
will grow again.
So to grow back.
And maybe you don't know how to conjugate
in the subjunctive, but it's
the same as the present tense,
so you may have just guessed it.
We spell it
"repoussent" with E-N-T
because hair is plural.
And here Sophie takes some scissors
and cuts her eyebrows
as short as possible.
We have the word "voilà" which
is very, very typical in French
that everyone knows.
There's a grave accent on the A in "voilà".
Next, Sophie takes some scissors.
The verb "prendre" (to take) when conjugated
in the third person present tense,
the ending is a silent D.
And scissors is plural and ends in X.
Watch out for the word
"court" (short) that has
a silent letter, the T at the end.
She looks in the mirror and
thinks it makes her look funny,
and doesn't dare go into the living room.
This sentence isn't very complicated,
it's all in the present tense.
Once again, be careful,
there are two verbs in a row.
She doesn't dare go into the living room.
So we're going to write
"rentrer", ER in the infinitive.
And watch out for the word "drôle"
(funny), which has a
circumflex accent because it is
"drôle" with a closed O.
So I hope it went well.
I'm still curious.
Tell me in the comments what mistake
you made and how many you made.
And did you understand the story?
It's the story of little
Sophie who wanted thicker eyebrows
and so she decided to cut them
with scissors, but then she finds
that it makes her look funny, that
is to say that it makes her look
strange and she doesn't dare go
back to the living room to see her family.
If you'd like to find out more about Les
Malheurs de Sophie,
I recommend the book
which you can read.
It's not very complicated, there's just
some vocabulary that is
no longer really used
today, since it was written
during the Second Empire.
So, how many mistakes did
you make in this dictation?
Let me know in the comments section.
