The questions are on the Futur Simple And Jobs In French test. Take it under real conditions before reading the answer key.

Quick answer: To talk about careers in French, name the profession without an article after être (Elle est ingénieure), use the right feminine form (infirmier, infirmière), and describe your plans with the futur simple: the infinitive plus -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont. This scoring guide gives the expected answers and the points for the 9 questions of the French 3 test on futur simple and jobs in French, from feminine forms to short writing, with the equivalent answers to accept.

This answer key shows model answers and the scoring for each question. Accept any equivalent correct French, but require correct accents and endings. Deduct points only for the errors named in the scoring lines, and give partial credit for a correct idea expressed with a small spelling slip.
