Clair Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 If you have to use "va", just change the "il" into the feminine equivalent (and I'm not going to tell you more than that!) [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pads Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 no the present tense va Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Then your "patron" example is the one to follow... you're nearly there [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 [quote user="Pads"]Is my boss goint to Dijon?Mon patron va-t-il à Dijon ?[/quote]So, in your example above, you are asking if someone is going somewhere. You just need to change the someone, and then change the gender and the destination to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Claudette va-t-elle à Douvres demain?No "est", as in your "patron" example above, and "à Douvres" for "to Dover" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pads Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Yes he sits up my chimmey looking very glassey eyed , known as a little piece of local history around here, In the old days people use to put gold or silver ones ( depending on how rich you where) up in side the chimmeys as a good luck/ protection for your house, while work was being done on my chimmey we found one , they said he was probally about 150 years old, so we put him back in the plaster on the in side, but you can still see him as hes just been pushed in to the plaster not buried, and funnerly we have had noting but good luck since living in this house.

DerekJ Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Pads. You could start your question a little differently by using Est-ce que Claudette...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
