Try to get access to an English-French Dictionary and look up the words before attempting the questions. Some of the words may mean different things in context, that is where your teacher's notes come in handy.

I will give you a head-start. Try to fill in the blanks as much as possible and feel free to post back for answer checking.

avons: (we) have
eux: their (place, in this context only)
amis:
hier:
aujourd’hui:
les: them (in this context only)
sommes:(we)are
invites:invited

To fill in the blanks in the sentence, you need to select 5 words from the provided list: "avons", "eux", "amis", "hier", "aujourd'hui", "les", "sommes", and "invités".

Let's analyze the sentence and determine which words would fit best:

1) Based on the context, we need a word that fits in the blank before "soir". Since the sentence is about something that happened in the past, the word "hier" (meaning "yesterday") would be the most appropriate choice.
- Sentence so far: "Hier soir, nous ___(2)___ rencontré des amis au restaurant."

2) Next, we need a word that goes after "nous" and before "rencontré". The sentence is in the past tense, and since "nous" is the subject of the sentence, the correct word is "avons" (the verb "avoir" conjugated for "nous" in the present perfect tense).
- Sentence so far: "Hier soir, nous avons ___(2)___ rencontré des amis au restaurant."

3) Continuing with the sentence, we need a word after "des amis" and before "au restaurant". The word that fits here is "invités" (meaning "invited"), as it matches the context of meeting friends at a restaurant.
- Sentence so far: "Hier soir, nous avons invités rencontré des amis au restaurant."

4) Moving on, we need a word after "nous ____ rencontré" and before "le jour précédent". The correct word is "les" because it agrees with the plural noun "amis".
- Sentence so far: "Hier soir, nous avons invités rencontré les des amis au restaurant."

5) Finally, we need a word after "chez" to complete the sentence. The correct word is "eux" (meaning "them"), as it refers to the friends being dropped off at their place.
- Final sentence: "Hier soir, nous avons invités rencontré les des amis au restaurant. Nous les avons raccompagnés jusqu'à chez eux."

So, the completed sentence is: "Hier soir, nous avons invités rencontré les des amis au restaurant. Nous les avons raccompagnés jusqu'à chez eux."
