Mini Quiz – C’est or Il est

Choisissez la bonne réponse. Pick the right answer.

  • Rule of Thumb

    Knowing when to use C'EST or IL EST/ELLE EST depends a lot on the context. So, please read this quiz as you would a paragraph, in context. As a rule of thumb, ask yourself the question : is this a generalization or is it specific?
    A day at the office – Let me introduce you to my colleague: here is Jean-Luc.
    He is the manager of the office.
    He's my boss.
    He’s Irish.
