In French when you talk about ages you don’t say “I am 21 years old”: instead you say “I have 21 years”. Equally, when you ask the question “how old are you?” or “what age are you”, you actually ask “what age do you have”. Here are the phrases you’ll need:
I’m (21) years old – j’ai (21) ans How old are you? (informal) – Quel âge as-tu ? How old are you? (formal) – Quel âge avez-vous?

In this first series of Coffee Break French To Go, Pierre-Benoît is in the town of p*rnic, in the west of France, and in each episode she’ll ask passers-by one question. Of course, that one question will result in many answers, and it’s through these answers that you can practise your French and build your vocabulary.
Coffee Break French To Go will be published every two weeks here on YouTube, and each Season will be filmed in a different part of the French-speaking world.
If you’d prefer not to wait for all 10 lessons of Season 1 to be published, you can access downloadable versions of the videos along with audio versions and lesson notes / transcripts in the Coffee Break Academy.
Coffee Break French To Go is based on the popular podcast series and online course Coffee Break French. For access to the free podcasts, please click here.

This question can also have a slightly different word order, frequently used in conversation: Tu as quel âge? To answer, saying how old you are, you begin with j'ai followed by your age, for example, J'ai 22 ans. In French, the verb avoir is always used when saying how old someone is.

There are three honorifics commonly used in French, and they function much the way "Mr.," "Mrs.," and "Miss" do in American English. Men of all ages, married or single, are addressed as monsieur.
