When you travel to a French part of the world, you will need to provide information about your identity to authorities in customs (e.g., date of birth, nationality, address, etc.). When you meet new people, you may want to give them your phone number or email. Or you will perhaps fill out a questionnaire for a doctor\u2019s visit or some other activity. In this section, we will look at ways to provide personal info, or des <\/span>renseignements personnels<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n\r\n(a) To talk about the date, we always give the day before the name of the month. Simply use the structure below:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
C'est<\/th>\r\nle<\/th>\r\npremier,\u00a0\u00a0[num\u00e9ro 2-31]<\/th>\r\n[mois]<\/th>\r\n[ann\u00e9e]<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n

Quelle est la date aujourd'hui? C'est le 20 (vingt) octobre deux-mille-vingt-quatre. (What is today's date? It is October 20th 2024.)<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n(b) To ask about someone's birthday or birthdate (or to say yours), follow these set expressions:\r\n

Mon anniversaire est le<\/strong> treize septembre. My birthday is September 13.<\/p>\r\n

Je suis n\u00e9(e) en<\/strong> 2004.\u00a0 \u00a0I was born in 2004. *use n\u00e9<\/strong> if the subject is masculine and n\u00e9e<\/strong>, if feminine.<\/p>\r\n(c) To express age, use avoir<\/strong> + number + ans<\/strong>.\r\n

Quel \u00e2ge as-tu\/Quel \u00e2ge avez-vous?<\/strong>\u00a0J'ai<\/strong> (21) ans<\/strong>. (How old are you (informal\/formal)? I am 21 years old)<\/p>\r\n \r\n

(d) Numbers are important for les num\u00e9ros de t\u00e9l\u00e9phone<\/strong>, les adresses<\/strong>, les codes postaux<\/strong> (postal codes), and les ann\u00e9es<\/strong> (years). In Europe, a phone number comes in groups of two or three numbers whether written or spoken<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>(i.e. <\/span>01 23 45 67 89). Postal codes are also numerical. Codes for Paris<\/em> go from 75001 to 75020, the final 2 digits correspond to the arrondissements<\/strong> (neighbourhoods\/districts) which are known by their numbers.\u00a0 So let's look at the numbers beyond 100.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
