Questions
You answer them with the text in front of you. It isn't memory: it's understanding.
What need explains the siblings’ evening arrangement?
Lire pendant que l’autre dort. — Alice reads in the evening and Noé sleeps early; Alice’s lamp accommodates those habits.
Why does Noé not find his shoes where he looks?
Il cherche dans le coin d’Alice. — Noé’s shoes are under his bed; Alice’s are by the door, where he searches.
Noé wants to get his shoes and then Alice’s book. What should he do according to the places in the story?
Regarder sous son lit, puis sur la table d’Alice. — Noé’s shoes are under his bed and the book is on Alice’s table. He must find the shoes first. The other proposals look for his pair by the door, where Alice’s shoes are; taking the book before the shoes also reverses the requested order.
Whose shoes are found in the morning?
À Alice, près de la porte. — Noé finds shoes by the door; that is Alice’s storage place, not his box.
Which habits explain choosing the small lamp?
Alice lit et Noé dort. — Alice reads in the evening and Noé sleeps early; the small light fits their shared room.
Noé puts his pair where Alice keeps hers. Where should he look the next day?
Près de la porte de la chambre. — Alice keeps her shoes by the door; Noé would use that place instead of his box.
