When do du, de la, de l’ (partitive) and des (indefinite) become de?

A resource I created to give to A level/Year 11 students as an in-class exam which can be particularly useful for Assessment Points.

Tenses: give the correct conjugation of the verb with the correct tense
Translating questions and inverting verbs into French
*Comes with answers provided on the last page of the document.
** This test normally lasts around 45 minutes so I have enough time to explain what we’re doing in the lesson and then do a short plenary or starter activity.
