Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Select the correctly contracted relative pronoun (auquel, duquel, etc.) instead of the uncontracted à/de + lequel form where a contraction applies

  • Recognize that à laquelle and de laquelle do not contract, unlike their masculine and plural counterparts

  • Match the correct lequel-family form to gender and number (lequel/laquelle/lesquels/lesquelles)

Teaching tips

  • Review the à + lequel and de + lequel contraction rule before assigning the puzzle, since the word list itself does not restate the grammar rule.

  • Use it as a short warm-up or bell-ringer: the exercise is built from a single twelve-word list rather than an extended passage.

Skills covered

  • Relative pronoun contraction — students choose auquel, auxquels, or auxquelles instead of the uncontracted à + lequel form.

  • Gender/number agreement — students select the correct lequel variant (lequel, laquelle, lesquels, lesquelles) for the noun referenced.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Why does à laquelle appear next to auquel, auxquels, and auxquelles without contracting?

The word bank shows that à does not contract with the feminine singular laquelle, only with lequel, lesquels, and lesquelles — the exception the puzzle is built to reinforce.
