Notes for teachers
Part 1 covers the main triggers, Part 2 covers conjunctions, and Part 3 covers nuanced cases and error spotting. Each question has exactly one standard-French answer. The test targets common B2 errors: using the subjunctive after 'après que', 'espérer' or 'il est probable que'; using the indicative after 'bien que' or 'je ne pense pas que'; and using 'que + subjunctive' when both clauses have the same subject. As follow-up, ask students to rewrite Part 3 sentences with the opposite trigger (for example, 'je pense que' becoming 'je ne pense pas que') and justify the mood change.
