✕Common Mistakes

  • Quel activités vous proposez ?

    ‘Quel’ is masculine singular; the noun ‘activités’ is feminine plural, so you need ‘Quelles’.

  • Quelles activités extrascolaires proposez vous ?

    In formal inversion a hyphen is required between the verb and the pronoun.

  • Quelles activités extrascolaire vous proposez ?

    The adjective must agree in gender and number with ‘activités’, so it should be ‘extrascolaires’.

Cultural Tip

In France, the term ‘activités périscolaires’ is often used interchangeably with ‘extrascolaires’, especially for programs that take place before or after the regular school day. When speaking to a French school, it’s polite to use the formal inversion (as in the example) rather than the informal ‘est‑ce que’ construction, unless you already have a familiar relationship with the interlocutor.
