Question

Complétez avec des adjectifs ou des pronoms interrogatifs : __________ professeurs vont partir en vacances et __________ restent en ville?

Hint:

Even if a teaching staff contains both genders, the masculine plural is grammatically dominant in French. Hence, we default to the masculine plural Quels lesquels unless a feminine plural noun like les professeures is explicitly written.

Answer 1

Step 1: First Blank (Interrogative Adjective):
The blank modifies the plural noun professeurs.
• Noun: professeurs (masculine plural).
• Agreement: Masculine plural interrogative adjective $\rightarrow$ Quels.

Step 2: Second Blank (Interrogative Pronoun):
The blank represents the subset of teachers staying in town, replacing les professeurs.
• Reference: professeurs (masculine plural).
• Agreement: Masculine plural interrogative pronoun $\rightarrow$ lesquels.

Step 3: Verification:
Quels professeurs vont partir en vacances et lesquels restent en ville ? (Which professors are going on vacation and which ones are staying in town?).
Final Answer: Quels, lesquels
