Fascinating Fact:

un cahier means “an exercise book”.

In KS3 Fast French, learning school nouns helps you follow classroom routines and take part in simple conversations. This quiz focuses on people, places, and objects you meet in education.

  • Noun: A naming word for a person, place, or thing, such as “teacher”, “school”, or “pen”.
  • Gender: In French, nouns are either masculine or feminine, and this affects the article you use (un/une, le/la).
  • Article: A small word that goes before a noun, such as un, une, le, or la, to show meaning and gender.
What are common school nouns in French for KS3?

Common KS3 school nouns include words for people (teacher, student), places (classroom, school), and items you use in lessons (pen, bag, desk). These help you understand instructions and describe school life.

How do I know if a French school word is masculine or feminine?

The best way is to learn each noun with its article, like un or une, so you always remember the gender. You can also check a dictionary, because word endings do not always give a reliable answer.

How can I practise French classroom vocabulary quickly?

Try short daily practice: say the word when you see the object, make quick flashcards with the article, and use the nouns in simple sentences. Repeating small sets often is more effective than one long session.

In each question you will be given a word or words in English. All you have to do is choose the French equivalent from the four choices offered.
