✦Grammar Breakdown
Monprochainvoyage,c'estlasemaineprochaine.
Mon (possessive adjective)
‘Mon’ is the masculine singular form of the possessive adjective meaning ‘my’; it must agree with the gender and number of the noun that follows.
prochain (adjective)
When placed before a noun, ‘prochain’ means ‘next’ (the one that is about to happen). After a noun it means ‘following’. Here it precedes ‘voyage’, so it signals the upcoming trip.
voyage (noun)
‘Voyage’ is a masculine noun meaning ‘trip’ or ‘journey’.
c'est (contraction)
‘c’est’ = ‘ce + est’, used to identify or define something, similar to ‘it is’ in English.
la semaine prochaine (time expression)
‘semaine’ is feminine, so the article is ‘la’ and the adjective ‘prochaine’ must agree in gender and number.

My next trip is next week.
✕Common Mistakes
Mon prochain voyage, c'est le semaine prochaine.
‘Semaine’ is feminine, so the correct article is ‘la’.
Mon voyage prochain, c'est la semaine prochaine.
When ‘prochain’ follows the noun, it means ‘following’, not ‘next’. Use ‘prochain’ before the noun for the imminent trip.
C’est mon prochain voyage la semaine prochaine.
Missing the comma makes the sentence sound rushed; the pause after ‘voyage’ clarifies the structure.

Cultural Tip
In French, time expressions like ‘la semaine prochaine’ always keep the article ‘la’ because ‘semaine’ is feminine. Dropping the article (e.g., *‘semaine prochaine’) sounds ungrammatical. Also, placing ‘prochain’ before the noun (as in ‘mon prochain voyage’) signals the very next trip, whereas after the noun it would refer to a later, following trip.
