Noël - French Christmas reading comprehension exercise

Have some fun and improve your French this Christmas season!

Christmas French reading comprehension quiz

This is a free reading comprehension quiz with 20 multiple choice questions. The grammar and vocabulary level is upper-intermediate, though upper-level beginners and lower-intermediates can also have fun with this Christmas themed quiz.

Regular, irregular verbs, and reflexive verbs are used in the present tense, passé composé, futur simple, conditional, and present subjunctive. You will also see direct and indirect object pronouns, the pronouns Y and EN, and even a few relative pronouns.

The level of vocabulary used in this exercise is a step up from the lower-intermediate level, so you may find that you’ll need to look up a few words. You’ll also be exposed to the ne….que form of negation and some idiomatic expressions.

There are also some French cultural references in this quiz. Do you know about le réveillon ? You’ll need to read very carefully to choose the correct answers!

You may also enjoy my other FREE Christmas listening AND reading comprehension quiz. Just click here to sign in, and I also have a whole bundled set with FIVE of these fun Christmas skits available at the LLL Online Academy!
