In English: "Good" is an adjective and describes nouns. (usually after linking verbs) "Well" is an adverb and describes verbs. (usually after action verbs) <em>I'm <u>good</u> at soccer, so I did <u>well</u>. </em> Likewise, in French: "Bon" is an adjective and describes nouns. (also after linking verbs) "Bien" is an adverb and describes verbs. (also after action verbs) <em>Je suis <u>bon</u> en soccer, alors j'ai fait <u>bien</u>. </em> The difference between English and French comes in when you try to do comparative and superlative forms.
In English: Comparative: <em>I'm <u>better</u> at soccer, so I did <u>better</u><u /><u />. </em>Superlative: <em>I'm <u>the best</u> at soccer, so I did <u /><u>the best</u>.</em><em> </em> <em></em>In French: Comparative: Je suis <u>meilleur</u> en soccer, alors j'ai fait <u>mieux</u>. Superlative: Je suis <u>le meilleur</u> en soccer, alors j'ai fait <u>le </u><u>mieux</u>.
<em>(sorry if those sample sentences were a bit redundant) </em> Note that in French, adjectives change to fit what they modify. Add an e to meilleur if the noun is feminine, and an s if it's plural. For the superlative form, you also have to change the article (le/la/les) <em>Je suis <u>meilleure</u> en natation, alors j'ai fait <u>mieux</u>. </em><em>Je suis <u>la meilleure</u> en natation, alors j'ai fait <u>le mieux</u>.</em><em /> Since adverbs modify verbs, which have no gender, they don't change.
There are also words reflecting the English words <em>bad, worse</em><em>,</em> and<em> worst</em>: <em>mauvais, pire, le pire</em> <em>(Though you can also just say mauvais, plus mauvais, le plus mauvais. As for the adverb "poor," there is mal, plus mal, and le plus mal. Both of these are examples of regular comparative and superlative forms. Bon, bien, and mauvais are the only irregular ones.)</em><em> </em>
Explanation: The question is asking what do you use to write on "the board"? And une craie means chalk, it is the only correct answer because all the other options do not make sense, for example, un crayon means a pencil, un stylo means a pen and un feutre translates into a felt pen, more commonly known as a marker.
