This 30-question A1 test checks the present tense of the two most important French verbs, être and avoir. It covers all forms, negative sentences, questions and common expressions with avoir such as age, hunger and cold. It is for beginner learners and teachers who want a quick, printable check of these basics.
Use this test after introducing the present tense of être and avoir, or as a diagnostic at the start of an A1 course. It targets classic beginner errors: tu est instead of tu es, je ne ai instead of je n'ai, and using être instead of avoir for age, hunger, cold and being right (elle est vingt ans). For follow-up, ask learners to write five sentences about themselves and a family member using both verbs, including one negative and one question.
