Speak French Confidently Using Simple WH-Questions

welcome to L'école du français!
This lesson is specially designed for beginner French learners (A1–A2 level) who want to understand and use WH-questions in French with confidence and clarity. Asking questions is one of the most important skills in any language, and this material focuses on helping learners communicate naturally in everyday situations such as introductions, travel, school, work, shopping, and daily conversations.

The lesson covers all the essential French WH-question words, including qui (who), que / quoi (what), où (where), quand (when), pourquoi (why), comment (how), combien / combien de (how much / how many), lequel / laquelle (which), à quelle heure (what time), and d’où (from where). Each question word is explained in a simple and clear way, making it easy for beginners to understand how and when to use it.

To support learning, each French question is followed by its English meaning, written clearly under the sentence. This bilingual format helps learners quickly understand the structure and meaning of French questions without confusion. It is especially helpful for self-study learners, students, and teachers who want ready-to-use material.

The questions are short, practical, and commonly used in real life. Learners will practice asking about people, places, time, reasons, quantities, preferences, and actions. The examples are carefully chosen to match A1–A2 grammar and vocabulary, ensuring that learners are not overwhelmed and can progress step by step.
