Asking More Questions

You may like to ask someone what they do for a living. To say this you will say “Quest-ce que tu fais dans la vie?”

Here are a few other questions you may need to ask someone:

“Where do you work?” is “Ou est-ce que tu travailles

“Where do you live?” is “Ou est-ce que tu habites?”

As you can see, Ou means Where. To ask more questions, you can change Ou to Quand (this means when), or “quoi” (this means what).

Here are a few more examples, this time using “when”:

Quand est-ce que tu arrives? This means When will you be here?

Another question you could ask someone is “C’est quand ton anniversaire?” Which means “When is your birthday”.

When you’re having a conversation with someone, you will probably want to ask questions of other people. The easiest way to do this is to say “tell me about…” and then say whatever it is that you want to ask about.

To say “tell me” in French you would say “parlez-moi”.

Here’s a few example questions you may like to ask:

“Parlez-moi un peu de vous”, This means “Tell me a bit about yourself”.

“Parlez-moi de votre famille” is another question you may like to ask. This means “tell me about your family”.
