About this resource

What's inside this resource

The French interrogative adjectives quel, quelle, quels, and quelles are practiced across four exercise types: choosing the correct form for ten sentences, filling in ten blanks, matching ten questions to a logical spoken answer, and building ten new questions from a noun-and-verb prompt. Every exercise is provided twice, once blank for students and once completed with the correct adjective forms or matching letters filled in, so the file functions as its own worksheet-and-key pair. The matching section pairs everyday questions like "Quelle couleur préfères-tu?" with plausible spoken responses such as "J'aime le rouge," giving the practice a conversational feel rather than isolated grammar drills. All example sentences use second-person forms (tu/vous), suggesting the questions are meant to be personalized and possibly spoken aloud in pairs. For descriptive rather than interrogative adjectives, the French BAGS adjectives exercises drill placement and agreement for the Beauty-Age-Goodness-Size category using the same worksheet-and-answer-key format.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Select the correct French interrogative adjective (quel, quelle, quels, quelles) based on the gender and number of the noun that follows

  • Construct a question in French using an interrogative adjective, a noun, and a verb

Teaching tips

  • Use the matching exercise as a speaking warm-up, having students ask a partner the questions and respond in the pattern shown

  • Teach the gender/number agreement rule explicitly before the fill-in-the-blank section, since several nouns (film, langue, saison) test different agreement cases

  • Use the build-the-question section as an assessment, since it requires students to select the adjective without a sentence already modeling it

Skills covered

  • Interrogative adjective agreement — students select quel, quelle, quels, or quelles to match the gender and number of the following noun.

  • Question formation — students build a complete French question from a noun-and-verb prompt using the correct interrogative adjective.

  • Reading comprehension in French — students match a spoken-style question to its most logical response.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How does the matching exercise differ in structure from the fill-in-the-blank sections?

Instead of choosing an adjective form, students pair a full question, such as "Quelle couleur préfères-tu?", with a plausible spoken answer, such as "J'aime le rouge," practicing comprehension of the question rather than production of the adjective itself.
