Notice the words tu and vous. These both mean you. Vous is the formal way to address someone if you don't know them. It is also the plural form of you if you are addressing a group. Tu is the familiar form of you and is used between children and people who know each other.Loading...

You can see that there are lots of ways to ask such a simple question! You choose the one you prefer but it is important to know that the word order can be changed in questions so that you recognise the question when it is being asked in a slightly different way.Loading...

J'ai is used when saying your age this means I have. In French we say I have a certain number of years not I am a certain number of years.Loading...
Again, you can see the order of the question can be changed. Here is another example, tu as quel âge? And of course if you are asking someone you don't know vous avez quel âge?mon anniversaire
My birthday
Mon anniversaire est le cinq mars
Mon anniversaire est le vingt deux fevrier
C'est le dix septembre
Mon anniversaire est le vingt deux fevrier
C'est le dix septembre

To provide extension when talking about sports. you can say which sports you play or do.
Je joue/je fais
I play/ i do
To say that you play or do a sport, you use jouer à (to play), if it’s a ball sport or faire de (to do) if it’s any other sport. The good news is that ball sports are masculine so they take the form je joue au..... (The only exception- la pétanque- French bowls).
Handy: Most sports are the same or similar to English.
However,for faire de you need to agree with the noun: je fais de la... or je fais du... or je fais de l'... if the noun begins with a vowel.
