Nouns
1. Abstract, concrete and proper nouns (FGU sections 1.1.1, 1.1.3 and 1.1.4)
The aim of the exercises in this section is to ensure that you know what nouns are, and that you are able to recognise different types of noun.
(a) Fill in the blanks and find the nouns
Read the passage below right through once and then:
- Complete the seven incomplete abstract nouns (e.g. dâun cur___ â d'un cursus)
- Find the abstract nouns (e.g. le savoir, la beauté) that have been turned into these anagrams: orumfle; estremes; tomnant; oticcloano
- Find two concrete nouns referring to possible accommodation (e.g. un appartement, une villa) in specific cities mentioned in the text
- Find a noun which has an abstract meaning in the text but can have a concrete meaning elsewhere, both in the context of money (e.g. une addition meaning a sum versus meaning the cost of a meal in a restaurant)
- Find four examples each of proper nouns (e.g. Pierre, Paris)
- Find two different compound nouns of the type ânoun + de + nounâ, both plural and both corresponding to the English word âfeesâ
- Find the only noun in the text which changes form when it refers to males or to females (e.g. un candidat, une candidate) and give the form that is not in the text
- Find two phrases of the type âĂ (le/la/lâ)+ NOUN + (de/du/ des) + NOUNâ (e.g. Ă la demande des participants ) and translate them into English

Financer les Ă©tudes a l'Ă©tranger
La formule la plus simple, et souvent la moins coĂ»teuse, consiste Ă partir Ă lâĂ©tranger le temps dâun semestre ou dâune annĂ©e dans le cadre dâun cur___ français. LâĂ©tudiant effectue alors un Ă©ch___: il continue Ă payer ses droits de scol____ en France et nâa rien Ă payer dans lâinstitution qui lâaccueille. Restent Ă la charge de lâĂ©tudiant le logement et la vie quotidienne sur place. Un montant qui dĂ©pend de la ville oĂč se dĂ©roulent les Ă©tudes. Par exemple, pour un studio Ă Londres, il faut compter au moins 800 euros par mois. En revanche, il est possible de trouver une chambre en colocation Ă Berlin pour moins de 300 euros par mois. En Europe le progr____ Erasmus encadre et facilite ces Ă©changes. Il permet notamment dâobtenir des bourses, pour une part sans condi____ de ressources. Ces Ă©changes permettent dâexpĂ©rimenter la vie et les conditions dâĂ©tudes Ă lâĂ©tranger mais ne sont pas diplĂŽmants, Ă lâinver___ des doubles diplĂŽmes. Mis en place avec certaines Ă©coles et universitĂ©s les doubles diplĂŽmes permettent dâĂ©tudier dans deux institutions en parallĂšle et dâobtenir deux diplĂŽmes distincts. Si certains proposent des bourses, pour dâautres, le coĂ»___ peut se rĂ©vĂ©ler consĂ©quent puisque lâĂ©tudiant doit en gĂ©nĂ©ral sâacquitter des frais de scolaritĂ© dans chacune des deux institutions. Dans le cadre dâun double diplĂŽme avec une universitĂ© amĂ©ricaine, le coĂ»t dâune annĂ©e dâĂ©tudes peut ainsi avoisiner les 40 000 euros.

2. Use of articles with nouns describing a general class, unique phenomenon or abstract quality (FGU sections 1.1.1, 2.2 and 2.3)
Nouns describing a general class, unique phenomenon or abstract quality are usually accompanied by a definite article (le, la, les), unless they refer to a specific example of the quality in question, when an indefinite article (un, une, des) is used: Le silence est dâor âSilence is goldenâ, but Il sâest produit un silence absolu âAbsolute silence ensued.â
Translate the English phrases in the following sentences into French, making any other adjustments that might be necessary (e.g. changing de to dâ).
