What this french grammar test measures

Your command of the grammar system: verb forms, agreement, word order, connectors and advanced structures. Every question is mapped to a specific grammar topic, so the test measures consistent competence level by level.

Test format

  • 10 questions per CEFR level (A1–C1), 50 in total
  • Fill-in-the-blank and sentence-completion multiple choice
  • Each question tied to one grammar topic (tenses, agreement, mood, syntax…)
  • Instant feedback with a short explanation after every answer

This French test: 50 items — 10 at A1 · 10 at A2 · 10 at B1 · 10 at B2 · 10 at C1.

Sample questions from the french test

Real items from the test bank — one per level band. The full test adapts from A1 to C1.

A1Multiple choice

Nous ___ français.

  • 1est
  • 2êtes
  • 3sont
  • 4sommes
Show answer

Correct: sommes

"Sommes" is the nous form of "être". "Est" is for il/elle, "êtes" for vous, and "sont" for ils/elles.

B1Multiple choice

Je suis content que tu ___ avec nous ce week-end. (venir)

  • 1viens
  • 2viennes
  • 3viendras
  • 4venais
Show answer

Correct: viennes

"Être content que" expresses emotion and triggers the subjunctive: "viennes" (present subjunctive of venir).

C1Multiple choice

Le roi ordonna que les portes ___ fermées sur-le-champ. (être)

  • 1soient
  • 2fussent
  • 3étaient
  • 4seraient
Show answer

Correct: fussent

In literary concordance, a past main verb ("ordonna") governs the imparfait du subjonctif: "fussent". Modern usage would substitute "soient".

Methodology

This French grammar test contains 50 items (10 at A1, 10 at A2, 10 at B1, 10 at B2, 10 at C1), ordered from A1 to C1 and drawn from the same item bank used inside the Lenguia study-plan product.

Scoring uses a pass-threshold model: each CEFR level is "passed" when you earn roughly two-thirds of its available points, and your result is the highest level you pass consecutively starting from A1. This rewards consistent competence rather than lucky guesses. Results range from A1 to C1 (the test does not grade C2).

The items are informed by the competency descriptors of the Council of Europe CEFR framework. This is a free self-assessment: results are a reliable orientation, not a certified proficiency measurement.

The competency descriptors follow the Council of Europe CEFR framework.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is this French grammar test?

It uses the same item bank and pass-threshold scoring as the placement engine inside Lenguia's study-plan product, so the CEFR estimate is consistent and repeatable. Like any online self-assessment it is an orientation, not an official certificate.

Is it really free? Do I need an account?

Yes — the full test, the result and the shareable certificate are free, with no signup. If you create an account afterwards, your result can be used to build a personalized study plan.

What levels can I get?

A1, A2, B1, B2 or C1. A level counts as reached when you earn roughly two-thirds of its points and have passed every level below it. C2 is not graded.

Can I retake the test?

Yes, as often as you like. Questions within each level are shuffled, and your latest result replaces the previous one on this device.
