HOW TO WRITE THE DATE IN FRENCH

Writing the date in French is very simple.

Start by writing the word “LE” which means “THE”.

Then write the number, then the month.

For example. The 9th of May is written LE NEUF MAI

In French you just say the number, you don’t have to say “second”, “third” etc as you do in English. But, you must say the number before the month.However, there is one day of the month where you do not write the number. For the “first” of each month you have to use the word “premier”.

So the 1st March is LE PREMIER MARS

Days and months of the year are not capitalized in French.

17th Feb Le premier juillet 10th Oct Le dix octobre 26th Nov Le douze septembre 4th Mar Le quinze août 22nd Jun Le dix-sept février 15th Aug Le deux mai 1st July Le vingt-deux juin 8th Dec Le vingt-six novembre 31st Jan Le trente avril 2nd May Le trente et un janvier 12th Sep Le quatre mars 30th Apr Le huit décembre

Match up the dates in English and French. Write them out in your exercise books in the same way as this example…

3rd April = le trois avril

1. 25th January =

2. 4th November =

3. 9th February =

4. 3rd July =

5. 27th May =

In your notebooks, write out the following dates in French like the example.

Example: 18th April = le dix-huit avril

HOW TO ASK SOMEONE’S BIRTHDAY IN FRENCH

NOW THAT YOU CAN WRITE DATES IN FRENCH, THIS WILL HELP YOU TO ANNOUNCE YOUR BIRTHDAY.

TO ASK SOMEONE “WHAT IS THE DATE OF YOUR BIRTHDAY?” IN FRENCH, THIS IS WHAT YOU SAY…

“QUELLE EST LA DATE DE TON ANNIVERSAIRE?”

WRITE THIS IN YOUR NOTEBOOK

“HOW TO SAY WHEN I HAVE MY BIRTHDAY”

WRITE

“QUELLE EST LA DATE DE TON ANNIVERSAIRE?” = “WHAT IS THE DATE OF YOUR BIRTHDAY?”

HOW TO SAY YOUR BIRTHDAY IN FRENCH

TO SAY WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR BIRTHDAY IN FRENCH, YOU SAY…

“MON ANNIVERSAIRE EST LE ….”

FOLLOWED BY THE NUMBER AND MONTH OF YOUR BIRTHDAY.

SO IF YOUR BIRTHDAY WAS THE NINTH OF MAY, YOU WOULD SAY…

“MON ANNIVERSAIRE EST LE NEUF MAI.”

IN YOUR BOOK, WRITE THE SENTENCE BUT CHANGE IT SO IT IS FOR YOUR OWN BIRTHDAY
