Common Mistakes

  • Ce sont un super exercice.

    When the subject is singular, use "C'est"; "Ce sont" is for plural nouns.

  • c'est marranté.

    Do not add the past participle ending; "marrant" stays unchanged after "c'est".

  • c'est un super exercices.

    The noun "exercice" is singular here; the plural would be "des exercices" and require "Ce sont".

Alternatives

  • C'est un excellent exercice et c'est amusant.

    It's an excellent exercise and it's amusing.

  • C'est un exercice génial, c'est drôle.

    It's a brilliant exercise, it's funny.

  • C'est un super entraînement, c'est rigolo.

    It's a great workout, it's fun.

Cultural Tip

« Marrant » is informal and best used with friends or in casual settings; in formal contexts prefer « drôle » or « amusant ». Likewise, « super » is a colloquial intensifier—acceptable in spoken French but less common in academic writing.
