Answers.

  1. D – J’ai un chien. J’ai is the conjugation for “I have.”
  2. C – Tu as des opinions. Tu as is the conjugation for the informal singular version of “You have.”
  3. – Elles ont un secret. First, you have to decide which subject pronoun is best to replace “The girls.” Elles is the correct choice because it is the third person plural and feminine pronoun. Elles ont is the conjugation for “They have.”
  4. A – Nous avons une maison là-bas. First, you have to decide which subject pronoun is best to replace “My family and I.” Nous is the correct choice because it is the first person plural pronoun. Nous avons is the conjugation for “We have.”
  5. D – Vous avez de bonnes idées. First, you have to decide which subject pronoun is best to replace “You and your friends.” Vous is the correct choice because it is the second person plural pronoun. Vous avez is the conjugation for “You have.”
