How to Ask About Daily Activities in French

1. Making Simple Questions

If you want to ask someone about what they do every day in French, start with easy questions. Here are some examples:

• Comment ça va ? (How are you?)
• Qu'est-ce que tu fais aujourd'hui ? (What are you doing today?)
• À quelle heure tu te lèves ? (What time do you get up?)

2. Using Connecting Words

You can join simple sentences with connecting words. Here are three helpful ones:

• et (and)
• mais (but)
• parce que (because)

Example:

• Je me lève tôt et je prends le petit déjeuner. (I get up early and I have breakfast.)
• Je ne vais pas au parc mais je fais du sport à la maison. (I’m not going to the park but I’m exercising at home.)

3. Understanding What You Read

When you read short texts, try to find important words about daily activities. Look for words like manger (to eat), travailler (to work), and étudier (to study). This can help you understand the main ideas better.

4. Writing Short Paragraphs

Try writing about your own daily activities using simple sentences and connecting words:

Example: Aujourd'hui, je me lève à sept heures parce que j'ai classe à huit heures. Ensuite, je déjeune et je vais à l'école.

5. Listening for Key Details

When you listen to someone talk, pay attention to the questions and keywords. Repeat phrases to help you remember and understand better.

By practicing these skills, you will get better at talking about your daily activities in French!
