Questions & Answers about À quelle heure est-ce que tu vas chez le médecin demain ?
Why use À quelle heure instead of Quand here?
Why is there an À at the very beginning of the question?
In French, if the answer to a question will use a preposition like à (at), the question usually starts with it too. Because you will answer with something like 'at 10 o'clock', you ask 'At what time...?' (À quelle heure...).
How does est-ce que work when there are question words at the start?
est-ce que is a handy phrase that turns a statement into a question. When you use a question phrase like À quelle heure, you put that phrase first, follow it with est-ce que, and then add your normal subject and verb (tu vas).
Why do we say chez le médecin instead of au médecin for 'to the doctor'?
The appointment is tomorrow (demain). Why is the verb tu vas in the present tense?
Just like in English ('Are you going to the doctor tomorrow?'), you can use the French present tense to talk about a planned event in the near future, as long as you include a future time word like demain.
