✦Grammar Breakdown
J'aipasséunsuperweek-end.
Je → J'
The subject pronoun "je" contracts to "j'" before a vowel or mute h.
Auxiliary "avoir"
"Ai" is the first‑person singular present of the auxiliary verb avoir, used to form the passé composé.
Passé composé agreement
With avoir, the past participle "passé" agrees with a direct object that precedes the verb; here there is none, so it stays invariable.
Indefinite article "un"
"Week‑end" is masculine in French, so it takes the article "un".
"Super" as an intensifier
"Super" is an informal adjective borrowed from English, meaning "very" or "great".
"Week‑end" spelling
The word is written with a hyphen and treated as a masculine noun.

✕Common Mistakes
J'ai passé le super week‑end.
Week‑end is masculine, but the article should be indefinite (un) when talking about a specific weekend you spent.
J'ai passé un super weekend.
The correct spelling uses a hyphen: "week‑end".
J'ai passée un super week‑end.
With avoir, the past participle does not agree unless a preceding direct object exists; "passé" stays unchanged.

Cultural Tip
In French, "week‑end" is masculine, so you say "un week‑end". The adjective "super" is informal and best reserved for spoken French or casual writing. When you want a more formal tone, replace "super" with "excellent" or "très agréable".
