Forms in French
Numbers in French
You’ll have to know some numbers to be able to complete this lesson. Fortunately, you can answer most questions in this chapter (with the exception of your age) with the basic numbers from one to ten.
Questions in French
Let’s go through some of the most common questions you might be asked, whether you’re filling out a registration form in a hotel or at the consulate getting a new passport. In these situations, you’ll be addressed with ”Vous” the formal form of “you.” So, though you have seen some of these questions before, all the questions below are expressed formally.
Answers in French
When you’re responding, you can follow one of the simple formats below. Just insert the appropriate information in the brackets.
Filling out Forms
If you find yourself being asked to fill out forms with your personal details, you won’t get the complete questions that you’ve studied above. Instead, you’ll get short words or phrases.
That’s it for today’s lesson.
À bientôt!
