✕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".

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.
