Questions & Answers about Vous allez rencontrer les clients à quelle heure ?
How do we form the "going to" future in this sentence?
This sentence uses the near future tense. Just like in English, you combine the present tense of the verb to go (aller) with the infinitive form of your main action verb. Here, we use allez (the vous form of aller) followed by the full, unchanged verb rencontrer (to meet). Together, vous allez rencontrer means you are going to meet.
Why is à quelle heure at the very end of the sentence?
Do I really need the à before quelle heure?
Yes! In English, we often shorten At what time? to just What time? In French, you cannot drop the preposition. You must always say à quelle heure to ask at what time an event is happening.
Why is there an extra space before the question mark?
In French writing, you must always leave a space before two-part punctuation marks. This includes question marks (?), exclamation points (!), colons (:), and semicolons (;).
