Thing #1 that happens in France but not in the U.S.

So, I was co-teaching a class of 7th graders with a (real) English teacher, and the kids were learning the present perfect by asking me "Have you ever...?" questions out of their textbooks. "Have you ever broken a bone?" No, I haven't. "Have you ever lost your keys?" Yes I have, but I found them. "Have you ever drunk [drank?] whiskey?" Well yes, boys and girls, I have drank (drunk?) whiskey, although I don't really like it and I usually stick to beer and wine.

These questions were designed to be answered by the students themselves, which they would then record with their names in a little chart. Designed by the textbook authors. For 13-year-olds.

Only in France.
