Idéals, Idéaux ou… les deux?…

Now that Christmas is behind us, it is time to get back to our little tests…  But, do not worry, I chose something quite easy for you to do today!

We all know the rule saying that most nouns/adjectives ending in -al in French change to -aux when turned into plural. Of course, like any other rules, this one also has its exceptions! Some words will have their plural in -als… Can you spot them right away? I took the quiz and I got 50/50… actually, I thought it was rather easy.  I would not be surprised to see many comments with perfect scores…

Hopefully you are enjoying some time off during the Holidays…


Unfortunately, not being at home, I do not have access to my image library…

Therefore… close your eyes and visualize your own… the one that will make you smile!

For me, it is a sunny beach… so I can forget about the freezing/pouring rain!


Happy?… Comfortable?… Then click here to play!

Have fun!!!

;-)

    Bonjour Lyne, j’ai fait une erreur (confessionals !), l’influence de l’anglais peut-être ?

    Bonne journée et à bientôt,

    Isabelle

    Bonjour Isabelle!

    J’arrive de Montréal… où il était tombé 10 cm de neige au cours de la nuit et ici, rien!!! ;-) Pourtant il n’y a que 200 km entre les deux villes.

    En effet, c’est sans doute l’influence de l’anglais… d’ailleurs c’est souvent le cas en ce qui a trait à plusieurs erreurs que nous commettons en français! Mais… tu t’en es fort bien tirée!!!

    Je te souhaite une année 2009 du tonnerre!

    À la prochaine!
