✕Common Mistakes
Quel est ta meilleure offre ?
‘Quel est’ requires a noun after it; you need ‘votre’ or ‘ta’ with the noun, not both together.
ta meilleur offre
The adjective must agree with the feminine noun ‘offre’, so it should be ‘meilleure’.
C’est quoi votre meilleure offre ?
Mixing informal “C’est quoi” with the formal “votre” sounds inconsistent; choose either fully informal or fully formal.

Cultural Tip
