When do we get there?

Question

Could you say, « À quelle heure est-ce qu'on arrive ? »

Accepted Answer

Bonjour Tom,
If the question had specifically asked for "What time" then, yes, the answer would have been "À quelle heure est-ce qu'on arrive ?".
Also, in this context (i.e. children asking when they'll arrive at their destination), French children/teenagers would use "quand" instead of "à quelle heure". It is that go-to-expression they use ! (Believe me, I have done it plenty of times as a child ;-) )
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !

Answer

Hi Tom,Given that the present tense can be used for future events then I agree, but your earlier question used the future for a similar point. So for this question, both present and future could be employed in my opinion.Bonne journéeJim
