Now obviously...

Now obviously, you aren't going to use all of the resources above, as that would be a bit over the top. But the point is that you have all of the above interactive exercises (about 40) and worksheets (17, in this case) available to you, simply based on the information below:

"Salut. Je m'appelle Paul et j'ai onze ans. J'habite à Leicester en Angleterre. J'ai une soeur qui s'appelle Sophie, mais je n'ai pas de frères. Sophie a huit ans. Mon beau père s'appelle Steve et ma mère s'appelle Tracy. Et toi? Tu as des frères et soeurs?"

and

1. Have you got any brothers and sisters?.................. Tu as des frères et soeurs?
2. Have you got any brothers?.....................................Tu as des frères?
3. Have you got any sisters?....................................... Tu as des soeurs?
