Sorting game

French day names in a two-week class schedule

Sort eight dated French class sessions into this week and next week. Use a Monday-start calendar and compare a specific Tuesday with le mardi as a habit.

In short

The reference day is lundi 9 novembre 2026. Cette semaine runs from 9 to 15 November; la semaine prochaine from 16 to 22 November. Sort the dated sessions into those ranges. Le mardi describes a recurring Tuesday habit, rather than one numbered date.

Your course sends two weeks of class dates together. The calendar uses weeks beginning on Monday. Every card includes a weekday and a number, so the correct week can be found from the supplied range. The same weekday can appear in both weeks.

Which supplied week contains the session?

Tap a word, then the box it belongs in.

A weekday can occur in both columns

Mardi 10 novembre and mardi 17 novembre both say Tuesday, but they are seven days apart. The day number separates the sessions. If you look only for mardi, you may select the right kind of lesson in the wrong week. Read the weekday and number as one date.

J’ai cours mardi 10 novembre.I have class on Tuesday 10 November.

Focus: One specified date

L’atelier est samedi 14 novembre.
The workshop is on Saturday 14 November.

J’ai cours le mardi.I have class on Tuesdays.

Focus: A recurring weekday

Le samedi, je participe à un atelier.
On Saturdays, I take part in a workshop.

Question 1No account needed
Which date belongs to the supplied next week?

Choose one answer.

Answer and explanation

Jeudi 19 novembre. Next week is explicitly 16–22 November, which includes Thursday 19.

Question 2No account needed
Which phrase expresses a Tuesday habit?

Choose one answer.

Answer and explanation

Le mardi. Le mardi can describe repeated Tuesdays; the numbered dates each identify one day.

If a later message says la semaine prochaine, use that message’s own reference date before sorting. Here the reference Monday remains 9 November throughout. The fixed calendar lets you practise the relative words without changing their meaning partway through the activity.
