Viendras-tu à ma fête ?

Sentence Discussions French
#1
English Translation

Will you come to my party?

Gemini says:

If you are inviting a friend (which is usually the case for a party), “Viendras-tu à ma fête ?” might sound a bit stiff or dramatic, like you are asking in a play or a formal letter.

Here is how to adjust it for real life:

  1. The Casual / Standard Way (Intonation)
  • Tu viens à ma fête ? (Are you coming to my party?)
  • Tu viendras à ma fête ? (Will you come to my party?)
  1. The “Est-ce que” Construction (Standard)
  • Est-ce que tu viendras à ma fête ?
  • Why: This is a safe middle ground—not too slangy, not too formal.

Right, you typically don’t start sentences by inverting subject and verb when talking to friends.

You may see such inversions in some books though.
