Common Mistakes

  • Quel heure t'arrange ?

    "Heure" is feminine, so the correct interrogative adjective is "Quelle".

  • Quelle heure t'arrangez ?

    When speaking with "tu", the verb stays singular: "t'arrange". "t'arrangez" would be for "vous".

  • Ok. Ça t'arrange ?

    While "ça t'arrange ?" is correct, the original phrase drops "ça" for brevity. Adding it isn’t wrong, just slightly less informal.

Alternatives

  • Quel horaire te convient ?

    What schedule suits you?

  • À quelle heure ça t'arrange ?

    At what time does it suit you?

  • Quel moment te convient le mieux ?

    Which moment works best for you?

Cultural Tip

The construction "ça t'arrange?" is very colloquial; in formal settings you’d replace it with "Quel horaire vous convient ?" or "À quelle heure cela vous convient‑il ?" Also, French speakers often drop the subject "ça" in spoken language, which is why the phrase sounds short and natural. Remember that using "tu" signals familiarity, so reserve this phrase for people you know well.
