Poor Théo is having no luck finding an apartment! Complete each sentence to describe the apartment in the associated image.

L'appartement est très petit 1.


C'est très bruyant 2 ici.

L'appartement est très cher 3.

1 petit :

L'appartement est très petit (The apartment is very small). The opposite of petit (small) is grand (large). Example: Michel vit dans un petit village (Michel lives in a little village); Londres est une grande ville (London is a big city).

1 peu :

We use peu (little) + noun to refer to a small quantity, but it doesn't work here. The opposite of peu (little) is beaucoup (lots). Example: il y a peu de place ici ! (there isn't much room here!); il y a beaucoup de place ici ! (there's lots of room here!).

1 court :

We use court (short) to refer to the length of something, but not the surface area of a flat, as in this case (9 m2). Example: tes cheveux sont très courts (your hair is very short).

2 bruyant :

C'est très bruyant par ici (It's very noisy here). Bruyant is pronounced . Example: cette rue est trop bruyante ! (this street is too noisy!).

2 bruit :

Le bruit (noise) is the noun associated with the verb bruyant (noisy). Example: je déteste le bruit des voitures ! (I hate the noise of cars!).

2 calme :

Calme (calm) is the opposite of what is shown in this image, as the apartment is very noisy. Example: c'est très calme, la campagne (the countryside is very quiet).

3 cher :

L'appartement est très cher (The apartment is very expensive). The feminine form of cher is chère. Example: ce collier est cher (this necklace is expensive); cette montre est chère (this watch is expensive).

3 gratuit :

Gratuit means “free of charge”, which is too good to be true for Théo as this image shows an apartment that is très cher (very expensive).

3 riche :

We could use riche (rich) to describe the owner of the flat. However, we say cher (expensive) when talking about the price.
