A conversation at the market
Ask about quantities and prices in French.

01
Take a closer look
Shopping combines language and calculation. “Je voudrais…” introduces a polite request. “Combien ça coûte ?” asks for the price. The prices in this activity are fictional.
02
Now try it
- Write a shopping list in French with three products and suitable quantities.
- Act out a market conversation. In this example, one kilogram of apples costs 3 euros. Order two kilograms and ask for the total.
03
Think it through
How much do the apples cost in this example?
