GCSE French Exam Questions by Topic
Practise GCSE French one topic at a time with original AQA, WJEC, CCEA and Edexcel-style questions. The 76 topic sets below contain 486 printable pages, with the mark scheme beside the questions so you can check the method before moving on.
How to practise exam questions by topic
- Choose the topic that cost marks in classwork or a past paper. Try the questions without notes so the first attempt shows what the student can actually recall.
- Use the mark scheme to compare the method as well as the final answer. For written subjects, check that each credited point is stated clearly; for calculations, identify the first step that went wrong.
- Revisit the same topic after a gap, then mix it into a full paper. Topic practice repairs one weakness at a time, while a timed paper checks whether the method can still be recognised among other questions.
See the method: Present tense including irregulars: Grammar in context
Put the verb in brackets into the correct present-tense form: Le samedi, je (faire) mes devoirs, puis mes amis et moi (aller) au cinéma. Ensuite, mon frère (finir) son entraînement de foot et il (être) fatigué.
- 'faire' with je is irregular, so learn it as a whole form: je fais.
- 'aller' with the subject 'mes amis et moi' (= nous) needs the irregular nous form: nous allons.
- 'finir' is a regular -ir verb; for il, remove -ir from finir and add -it: il finit.
- 'être' with il is irregular: il est.
- Full sentence: Le samedi, je fais mes devoirs, puis mes amis et moi allons au cinéma. Ensuite, mon frère finit son entraînement de foot et il est fatigué.
