Relative adjectives
Lequel is usually a pronoun, but it can also be a relative adjective. Relative adjectives are placed in front of nouns to indicate a link between that noun and an antecedent (the same noun previously stated or implied). In both English and French, relative adjectives are used mainly in legal, administrative, or other highly-formal language.

This automatic-scoring quiz will ask up to 100 questions on 20 different pairs of confusing French words and topics to help you pinpoint your most common mistakes.

Need help starting a French club
I've been asked to start a French club at my kids' school. I started to plan but realise it's a little pointless to reinvent the wheel. So I need to ask about a good text book to work from and also resources to give me ideas and inspiration. Will be doing a group of Years 3 & 4 (7-9) & also Years 5 & 6 (9-11). Many of them have done some French before. Any ideas?
