Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students can select the correct French interrogative word (où, quand, comment, combien, pourquoi, qui, or que) to complete a sentence based on context.

  • Students can distinguish between similar interrogative words, such as qui (who) and que (what), using surrounding sentence clues.

  • Students can self-check completed answers against the provided Corrigés key.

Teaching tips

  • Review the seven interrogative words as a class before assigning the worksheet, since no word-bank definitions are printed beyond the initial list.

  • Point out the follow-up remarks in some sentences, such as 'Bientôt, j'espère' or 'En voiture?', as the context clues students need to pick the right word.

  • Use the included Corrigés page for quick self- or peer-checking rather than collecting every worksheet for teacher grading.

Skills covered

  • French interrogative word selection — choosing among où, quand, comment, combien, pourquoi, qui, and que based on sentence context.

  • Reading comprehension in French — using a sentence's meaning and any follow-up remark to infer which question word fits.

  • Self-assessment — checking completed answers against the provided Corrigés key.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What clues help students choose the correct interrogative word beyond grammar alone?

Many sentences add a follow-up remark that hints at the answer, such as ending with 'En voiture?' or 'Bientôt, j'espère,' guiding students toward the right question word.

How varied are the 25 practice sentences?

They cover everyday situations — video games, birthdays, chores, directions to the post office — rather than repeating one scenario, giving practice recognizing interrogatives across different contexts.
