Let’s go through the vocabulary matching task step by step.
We need to match each English word with its correct French meaning (or definition, in the case of “Semi-nomadic people are”).
---
1. Beliefs
→ Means what people think or believe to be true.
In French:
croyances ✔
(Not “balances”, “croire” — that’s a verb, not a noun)
2. Customs
→ Traditions or usual ways of doing things in a culture.
In French:
coutumes ✔
(Not “costumes” — that’s clothing; “coûter” is to cost)
3. Settle
→ To stay in one place, to establish a home.
In French:
s’installer ✔
(Not “selle de cheval” — that’s saddle; “salir” is to dirty)
4. Shelter
→ A place to protect from weather or danger.
In French:
abri ✔
(Not “sel” — salt; “coquillage” — shell)
5. Hunt
→ To chase and kill animals for food.
In French:
chasser ✔
(Not “hanter” — to haunt; “hutte” — hut)
6. Land
→ Ground, soil, territory.
In French:
terre, sol ✔
(Not “landau” — carriage; “laver” — to wash)
7. Weapon
→ Tool used for fighting or hunting.
In French:
arme ✔
(Not “météo” — weather; “porter” — to carry)
8. Spear
→ Long pointed stick used for throwing or stabbing.
In French:
lance (objet) ✔
(Not “spécial” — special; “filet” — net)
9. Net
→ Mesh used to catch fish or animals.
In French:
filet ✔
(Not “lance (objet)” again — that’s spear; “noix” — nut)
10. Semi-nomadic people are
→ People who move around but not constantly — they settle for a while, then move.
Correct definition:
people who regularly change their place of residence. ✔
(Not “sedentary” — that means staying in one place)

Final Answer:
Beliefs – croyances
Customs – coutumes
Settle – s’installer
Shelter – abri
Hunt – chasser
Land – terre, sol
Weapon – arme
