Read: "Pierre se lève à sept heures. Il prend son petit déjeuner dans la cuisine. Ensuite, il se brosse les dents et s'habille. Il quitte la maison à huit heures." What time does Pierre leave the house?

Question

Accepted Answer

At eight o'clock. Pierre leaves the house at eight o'clock ("Il quitte la maison à huit heures"). The passage describes his morning routine: he wakes up at seven, has breakfast, brushes his teeth, gets dressed, and then leaves at eight.

Seven o'clock is when Pierre wakes up ("se lève à sept heures"), not when he leaves. Seven thirty is not mentioned in the passage. Nine o'clock is not mentioned either.

Reading comprehension passages describing daily routines are common on the CLEP French Language Level 1 exam. Key vocabulary includes: se lever (to get up), prendre le petit déjeuner (to have breakfast), se brosser les dents (to brush one's teeth), s'habiller (to get dressed), quitter (to leave), and rentrer (to return home). Reflexive verbs (se lever, se brosser, s'habiller) are particularly important for describing daily activities.
