I'm duly corrected!No, no .. sorry if my reply appeared to say that.Bonnes Fêtes and Bonne Fête are used all the time is what I was trying to say.Just that there are 2 of them at the end of the year so the plural is used but just one July 14.

Judith-aka-Judith Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Oh no, Sue, not at all, I had forgotten the need for the singular, though quite honestly, as long as you say something along those lines, they won't be too bothered, in all honesty, but just pleased we said something!!
