Module 5 of the free French course (CEFR A2 mastery + the B1 bridge), lesson 3 of 30: Numbers 0-100 at speed, in the sentences that use them: ages, phone numbers. On this page: 6 words with their genders and respellings, the rule, a watch-out line and the audio — the study notes behind the workbook's lesson 3.
| French | English | Say it |
|---|---|---|
| quel âge as-tu? | how old are you? | kel ahzh ah-TEW |
| j'ai onze ans | I am eleven | zhay oh(n)z AH(n) |
| soixante-treize | seventy-three | swah-sah(n)t-TREHZ |
| quatre-vingt-quinze | ninety-five | kah-truh-va(n)-KA(n)Z |
| cent | one hundred | sah(n) |
| l'âgemasculine — the article elides to l' | the age | lahzh |
Respellings follow the course’s say-it key; the stressed syllable is in capitals. Print this lesson’s flashcards (PDF) — the words on the front, the English and respelling on the back.
Each word is read twice — say it back in the gap. Computer-generated voice; credits on the course page.
Numbers 0-100 at speed, in the sentences that use them: ages, phone numbers, prices, dates.
J'ai onze ans. Mon arrière-grand-mère a quatre-vingt-quinze ans. Ça coûte soixante-treize euros.
cent stands alone for 100 (never un cent), and 95 is quatre-vingt-quinze — four twenties and fifteen, with no et anywhere.
This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The French Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
Turn this lesson’s words into flashcards, then space your reviews — the two habits the research behind our study guides backs hardest.
