question 9 of 10
01-08-2009: aujourdhui, nous sommes le ______août 2009.

a. premier
b. première
c. une
d. un

Explanation:

In French, when stating the date, "le" is followed by the masculine ordinal number for the first day (since "jour" is masculine). "Premier" is the masculine singular form of "first", which matches the context of "le 1er août" (August 1st). "Première" is feminine, and "un/une" are indefinite articles, which are not used in this date structure.

Answer:

A. premier
