Common Mistakes

  • Oui, on a des passes hebdomadaires.

    The borrowed noun *pass* stays unchanged in the plural; adding an *e* makes it sound like a French word and is incorrect.

  • Oui, on a le pass hebdomadaire.

    Using the singular definite article *le* would change the meaning to a specific pass, not a general offering.

  • Oui, nous avons des pass hebdomadaires.

    While *nous avons* is grammatically correct, in everyday spoken French *on a* sounds more natural in this context.

Alternatives

  • Oui, nous proposons des abonnements hebdomadaires.

    Yes, we offer weekly subscriptions.

  • Oui, il y a des pass valables une semaine.

    Yes, there are passes valid for one week.
