French language Q&A Forum

can anybody explain why one is used rather  than other please. in the question it was a mon pere and to finish sentence so i put a moi, but wrong and should be me.

If we express dates as masculine (le 30 novembre), why do we ask Quelle est la date with feminine articles?

Usually "cet" goes before a noun that begins with a vowel.

But in this lesson we have "cette année" and "cette epoque."

Evidently, these are exceptions.  Is there an explanation for this?  Are there other exceptions?

Thank you for your help.

when we should use j'ai instead of je suis
