Cultural Tip
In French, the word 'posture' is always feminine, so never say *mon posture*. In informal spoken French, the question mark can be replaced by a rising intonation, making it sound like a quick check‑in rather than a formal query. In professional settings (e.g., physiotherapy), you might hear the more formal *Quel est l’état de ma posture ?*.
