✕Common Mistakes

C'est quand est‑ce que j'aurai mes résultats ?
Avoid mixing two question structures; choose either "C'est quand que" or "Quand est‑ce que".
C'est quand que j'auré mes résultats ?
The future of "avoir" is "aurai", not "auré".
C'est quand que j'aurai mon résultats ?
Use the plural "mes résultats" for multiple results; "mon résultat" would be singular.

Cultural Tip

The structure "C'est quand que" is typical of spoken French, especially among younger speakers. In formal contexts (e.g., a letter to a professor) you should use the inverted form "Quand aurai‑je mes résultats ?" or "Quand est‑ce que je recevrai mes résultats ?". Also, remember to keep the liaison between "j'" and "aurai" when speaking.
