Questions & Answers about Quand est-ce que tu as un rendez-vous la semaine prochaine ?

Why do we use quand here instead of à quelle heure?
Quand means when in a general sense, like asking which day. À quelle heure specifically means at what time and expects a clock time like 2:00 PM. Since the speaker is asking about a general timeframe next week, quand is the right choice.
Why is est-ce que put right after the question word?
Est-ce que is a very common phrase used to turn a statement into a question. When you use a question word like quand, you put it at the very beginning, followed by est-ce que, and then the rest of your sentence in its normal order: tu as un rendez-vous.
Does un rendez-vous mean a romantic date or a professional appointment?
It can mean both! Un rendez-vous is the standard French word for any planned meeting. You use it for doctor visits, work meetings, hanging out with friends, and romantic dates.
Why are the words flipped in la semaine prochaine?
In French, most adjectives go after the noun they describe. Semaine means week and prochaine means next. So, to say next week, French speakers literally say the week next (la semaine prochaine).
