How to play

  1. You are shown a French sentence with a blank (with its meaning in English, if you chose one) — decide whether it needs et or est.
  2. Tap the option you think fits; the blank fills in and the sentence is read aloud in a French voice.
  3. A short rule explains why that answer is correct, so the difference sticks.
  4. Work through the round and aim for a flawless score, then play again to lock it in.
