✦Grammar Breakdown
J'aireçumacommandeaujourd'hui
J' + ai (Passé composé)
The contraction J' combines "je" and the auxiliary verb "ai" (present of avoir) to form the passé composé.
reçu (Past participle)
"reçu" is the past participle of "recevoir"; with "avoir" it does not agree with the subject.
ma (Possessive adjective)
"ma" agrees in gender and number with the feminine noun "commande".
commande (Feminine noun)
"commande" means "order" or "purchase" and is feminine, hence "ma".
aujourd'hui (Adverb of time)
"aujourd'hui" means "today" and is placed at the end of the sentence for emphasis.

✕Common Mistakes
J'ai reçu mon commande aujourd'hui.
"Commande" is feminine, so the possessive must be "ma", not "mon".
J'ai reçus ma commande aujourd'hui.
With the auxiliary "avoir", the past participle does not agree with the subject; use "reçu".
J'ai reçu ma commande le aujourd'hui.
Do not add an article before "aujourd'hui"; it is an adverb, not a noun.

Cultural Tip
In French, the passé composé is the go‑to past tense for completed actions that have relevance to the present, such as a delivery you just got. Remember that "aujourd'hui" is an adverb and stays unchanged; it never takes an article. Also, the past participle "reçu" does not agree with the direct object because the auxiliary is "avoir" and the object follows the verb.
