Quelle est la date de ton anniversaire?

birthday

Mon anniversaire est le 11 juillet.

Anniversaire is a "false friend" - a word that looks like it would be a cognate, but actually means something different. There are actually three ways to ask this question:

  1. Quelle est la date de ton anniversaire?
  2. C'est quand ton anniversaire?
  3. Quand est-ce que c'est ton anniversaire?

The last two options are more common and more familiar.

Let's see if you can remember these things in a short review as we wind up this second unit and you prepare for the section quiz and unit exam. Write this exercise in your notebook. Click on the question or item to see if you got it right. Correct it if you didn't so you can use this to study.

Quel jour sommes-nous aujourd'hui?
Quel jour serons-nous demain?
Aujourd'hui, c'est mardi. Quel jour serons-nous demain?
Aujourd'hui, c'est samedi. Quel jour est demain?
Quelle est la date d'aujourd'hui?
28+2=30
15+5=20
25 + 4 = 29
Est-ce que tu aimes danser?
Est-ce que tu aimes écrire?
