Questions and simple sentences, sentence 9
Tu as quel âge ? means "How old are you?"; âge is masculine, so it is quel, not quelle; heure (hour) is feminine, so it is Quelle heure est-il ? (What time is it?).
Who acts: Tu, you, âge, heure · What happens: mean, be, not be · To what, where: Quelle il, masculine, feminine, Quelle, heure · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Questions and simple sentences» of the french course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Tu, you, âge, heure), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
