✕Common Mistakes
Regarde le emploi du temps de la salle de sport.
‘emploi du temps’ is masculine, but the article contracts to l' before a vowel; using ‘le’ breaks the contraction.
Regarde l'emploi du temps de le salle de sport.
The correct article after ‘de’ is ‘la’ because ‘salle’ is feminine.
Regarde l'emploi du temps de la salle du sport.
‘sport’ is not preceded by ‘du’; the correct preposition is ‘de’ forming ‘de la salle de sport’.

Cultural Tip
In French, ‘emploi du temps’ is the go‑to expression for any kind of schedule, from school timetables to gym classes. ‘Salle de sport’ is the standard term for a fitness centre; you’ll also hear ‘gymnase’ in some regions, but it usually refers to a larger sports hall. The imperative ‘Regarde’ is informal; for a more polite request you could say ‘Veuillez regarder…’ or ‘Pourriez‑vous regarder…’.
