Fill in the blanks. On regarde la carte ____ de commander. Pierre ___ a(accent grave) italien au lyce(accent aigu)e.
I'll send this to Mme, our language expert SraJMcGin.
Were you given a list of words to use? The first blank is probably an adjective which is feminine and singular to match "la carte." To me the "à italien" makes no sense, whereas "à l'italien" would. It looks like the 2nd blank is to be a verb, because there is no verb at the moment in this sentence!

To fill in the blanks in the given sentence, we need to determine the missing words.
The first blank is before "de commander," indicating that we need a word that comes before "de commander" in French. The most common word that fits in this context is "pour" which means "to" or "in order to" in English. So, the first blank is "pour" which gives us the sentence: "On regarde la carte pour commander."
The second blank is before "a italien au lycée," indicating that we need a word that comes before "a italien au lycée" in French. Based on the context, the most appropriate word is "est" which means "is" in English. So, the second blank is "est" giving us the final sentence: "Pierre est italien au lycée."
Now the original sentence is completed: "On regarde la carte pour commander. Pierre est italien au lycée."
