Fascinating Fact:

Et toi ? means “And you?” (informal), and Et vous ? is the polite version.

In KS3 Fast French, key phrases help you sound confident even with simple sentences. This quiz builds quick, natural replies so you can keep a conversation flowing.

  • Follow-up question: A short question you use to keep a conversation going after someone answers.
  • Informal language: Friendly French used with friends, family, or people your age.
  • Polite form: More formal French used with adults you do not know well or in a more respectful situation.
How do you say “And you?” in French for KS3?

You can say “Et toi ?” when speaking informally to one person you know well, and “Et vous ?” when you need to be polite or when speaking to more than one person.

When should I use informal French instead of polite French?

Use informal French with friends, family, and classmates. Use the polite form with adults you do not know well, in formal situations, or when speaking to a group.

How can I keep a French conversation going in class?
