S’Appeler

Here is the text for today’s lesson. The first part is something you already know.
Je m’appelle Mimi.
My name is Mimi. (literally—I call myself Mimi.)

Here’s how you ask someone their name in French.

• Comment t’appelles-tu?

What is your name? (literally – How do you call yourself?)

Copy the sentences on your worksheet, filling in your name.

It’s just good manners.

Use “Comment t’appelles-tu?” to ask the name of another student or a child. To ask an adult his or her name, use the more polite question,

• Comment vous appelez-vous?
