INTRODUCTION |
Once on the bus, you'll hear announcements informing the passengers of where the bus will stop next. Now, in the case that there is no English announcement, you may not catch the location just announced. So the phrase "What is the next stop?" my be indispensable. |
GRAMMAR POINT |
In French, "What is the next stop?" is Quel est le prochain arrêt ? |
Quel est le prochain arrêt ? |
Let’s break it down by syllable: Quel est le prochain arrêt ? |
Now let's hear it once again: Quel est le prochain arrêt ? |
The first word, quel, means "what." |
Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: quel |
And, quel |
It is followed by est, which in English means "is." |
Est |
Est |
And, est. |
So to recap here, we have quel est. Literally, this means "what is." |
Let’s take a look at the next word, le, means "the." |
Le |
Le |
And, le |
It is followed by prochain, which means "next." |
Prochain |
And, prochain |
Finally, we have arrêt, which means "stop." |
Arrêt |
And, arrêt |
So all together, we have Quel est le prochain arrêt ? Literally, this means "What is the next stop?" |
