Questions & Answers about Le magasin ouvre après dix heures.
If I wanted to ask when this shop opens, should I use quand or à quelle heure?
Is ouvre a regular -er verb?
The dictionary form (infinitive) is actually ouvrir (to open), which makes it an -ir verb. However, it is a special verb that copies the endings of regular -er verbs in the present tense. For le magasin (it), we use the ending -e to make ouvre.
Could I just say après dix instead of après dix heures, like we do in English?
