Transcription du texte

Noel Gallagher, vous savez, le chanteur du groupe de rock Oasis, et moi avons une chose en commun, et non ce n’est pas mon talent musical, malheureusement ! Nous partageons le même anniversaire, c’est-à-dire le 29 mai. Par contre, Noel Gallagher a 4 ans de plus que moi. Bizarrement, c’est aussi la date d’anniversaire de John F. Kennedy.

Question 1. Quand est-ce que je suis née ?

Question 2. Est-ce que Noel Gallagher est plus jeune que moi ?

Notes

To express your age, you need to use the verb être in French, not avoir. I cover this topic in Lesson 7 of my Complete French Course.

Adverbs of manner in French often end in -ment (ex: malheureusement, bizarrement). I cover this topic in Lesson 19 of my Complete French Course.

Réponses

Question 1. Le 29 mai
