Here we go again!… Les règles d’accord!

This week has been excellent in the news department!… Yesterday I heard from Nicholas and he got his B in oral!… Since he had been led in the fourth part of the oral interaction test, I was pretty sure he had met the requirements of level B… and I was right!

Congratulations Nicholas!

And Ellie, who had only a few days to prepare for both her reading comprehension and written expression exams, got an E (exemption) in reading and a B in writing… The language requirements of the position she applied for are BBB… Next Monday, she will take her oral interaction test and I am confident that she will meet her goal!… We will still have a couple of hours left to work on polishing her speech this weekend…

Congratulations Ellie!

Therefore the teacher/trainer is quite happy these days… Is it the reason why I picked an easy quizz (well… I do think so!) for you to try out today?… Possibly… I chose a text in which you will have to identify grammar mistakes… those might be concerning adjectives, nouns or past participles agreement… It did not take me long to spot the errors and I got a perfect score. You should do pretty well also!

Tomorrow Alicia and I will have lunch in the Byward Market and then go to the movies… weather is still uncertain… will we eat on a patio or inside?… Your guess is as good as mine!

I really do wonder how kangaroos would feel under the rain… even the squirrels here are looking for shelters!

    Bonjour Lyne,

    J’ai eu 45/50… Bien sûr, je suis tombée dans le seul piège de ce texte, c’est à dire que j’ai accordé “rendu compte”. Sinon, j’ai trouvé ce test plutôt facile !

    Passe un très bon week-end,
    Isabelle

      Bonjour Isabelle,

      En effet, «rendu compte» était le piège par excellence! ;-) J’ignore pourquoi, mais la plupart des francophones font l’erreur d’accorder «rendu» avec le sujet… encore l’une des merveilles de la langue française!

      Il fait un temps magnifique ici aujourd’hui, alors j’en profiterai à plein : déjeuner sur une terrasse et ensuite le cinoche!

      À bientôt et, toi aussi, passe une bonne fin de semaine!
