About this quiz

What you’ll practice

French prepositions are small words with big consequences, and this quiz trains you to select the one that fits the sentence naturally. You’ll see everyday contexts (place, time, movement, possession, and idiomatic phrases) so you can build reliable instincts.

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, making it ideal for careful thinking and pattern-spotting. You can also choose how many questions to answer and set the difficulty level to match your current comfort.

Common pitfalls to watch for

Many mistakes come from translating directly from English or overusing one “default” preposition like à or de. Another frequent trap is forgetting that some verbs and adjectives require a specific preposition, even when English uses a different one.

How the difficulty is balanced

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: easier items reinforce core rules (à vs de, en vs au/aux), while tougher ones test fixed expressions and verb–preposition combinations. This blend keeps the quiz approachable while still pushing you to improve.

Don’t assume English “to/for/of” maps cleanly to à/de
Watch for country/gender patterns (en/au/aux) and cities (à)
Notice motion vs location cues (à, en, dans, sur)
Learn common verb pairs (penser à/de, parler à/de, dépendre de)
Treat idioms as chunks (avoir besoin de, être en train de)
Re-read the whole sentence before locking in your choice

Tips for better results

After each question, briefly explain to yourself why the other three options don’t work; that’s where the learning sticks. If you miss several in a row, lower the difficulty or shorten the session, then build back up as accuracy improves.
