Real BECE exam-standard problems with complete solution steps
Step 1 (Radical): Remove -er from habiter → 'habit-'.
Step 2 (Je): Starts with silent 'h' → use 'J'' + ending 'e' → 'J'habite à Accra.'
Step 3 (Nous): Ending is '-ons' → 'Nous habitons au Ghana.'
Step 4 (Ils): Ending is '-ent' (silent) → 'Ils habitent à Kumasi.'
Step 1: The letter 'g' before 'o' makes a hard /g/ sound (as in 'gant', 'gorge').
Step 2: Without the 'e', 'mangons' would be pronounced /man-gons/.
Step 3: Inserting the letter 'e' preserves the soft sound /ʒ/: 'Nous mangeons du riz.'
