Use the lesson

1. Watch the first conversation without reading the models below. Listen for the day and the start time. Pause before the video reveals each answer.
2. Use the two checks below, then replay the complete scene with French and English support. The speakers use informal tu.
3. Say a short reply from memory: accept the invitation and ask the start time. Open the possible response only after your attempt.

Check what you heard

Choose before opening each answer. Replay the video if you need to listen again.

1. Which day is the party?

Vendredi (Friday) or samedi (Saturday)?

2. What time does it start?

18:00 (6 p.m.) or 20:00 (8 p.m.)?

3. Accept and ask the start time

Your friend invites you. Say yes, then ask what time it starts. Give yourself about eight seconds, or longer if you need it, before opening the possible reply.

Use it for another plan

A friend invites you to dinner. Accept and ask when it starts. Use the same question; this written variation has no separate recording. This page does not record or assess your voice.
