can someone check to see if this sentence is grammatically correct?
"Je ne serai pas à l'école jeudi, alors puis-je passer l'interro vendredi matin?"
*Should translate to "I will not be at school Thursday, so can I take the quiz friday morning?
Merci
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. The English should say "so MAY I take the quiz Friday morning."
The quiz could be "interrogation" if you spell it out. The French is fine!
Bon travail!

To check if the sentence is grammatically correct, we can break it down and analyze each part.
1. "Je ne serai pas à l'école jeudi" - This means "I will not be at school on Thursday." The verb "serai" is the first-person singular form of the verb "être" (to be) in the future tense. "Pas" is a negation word that means "not." "À l'école" means "at school," and "jeudi" means "Thursday." So far, this part of the sentence is grammatically correct.
2. "Alors puis-je passer l'interro vendredi matin?" - This means "So can I take the quiz on Friday morning?" "Alors" means "so" or "therefore." "Puis-je" is a formal way to say "can I." "Passer" means "to take" in this context. "L'interro" is a shortened form of "l'interrogation," which means "quiz" or "test." "Vendredi matin" means "Friday morning." This part of the sentence is also grammatically correct.
Therefore, the entire sentence "Je ne serai pas à l'école jeudi, alors puis-je passer l'interro vendredi matin?" is grammatically correct, and it accurately translates to "I will not be at school on Thursday, so can I take the quiz on Friday morning?"
