Age
You might be asked the question quel âge as-tu? which means 'how old are you?' (literally 'what age have you?). In English when saying your age you say what you are, for example 'I am thirteen'. But in French you say what you have. This means we use the verb avoir ('to have') when talking about ages. The French word an means 'year', and so ans means 'years'.
quel âge as-tu?
j'ai six ans
j'ai onze ans
