"It is twelve o'clock,"
and he answers with assurance:
"C'est douze heures."
You ask him next for the French of
"How do you do?"
and he tells you:
"Comment ça va-t-il?"
You call upon him to spell it, and he has no hesitation about it: "Comment savaty?"
[ You ] then test his knowledge of grammar by asking him the future of vouloir, and you immediately obtain: "Je voulerai."
You tell him that his French is very shaky, and you decide on putting him with the beginners.
