Notes for teachers
Use this test after teaching the three types of articles, or as a diagnostic before revising food and shopping topics. It targets frequent A1 errors: no elision (le orange), du/des after negatives (je n'ai pas des amis), partitives after verbs of liking (j'aime du thé), and wrong gender. As a follow-up, learners can describe their breakfast and fridge using du/de la/des, then turn each sentence into the negative.
