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).
