se passer + a date

Karen G.B2Kwiziq community member

Can "se passer" be used with dates? Like, "Quand se passe le jour de la Bastille" or "Noel se passe le 25 décembre".

Merci d'avance!

Hi Karen,

I think what you are thinking about with

'se passer' + date

is what rather than when something happens/happened.

So you could say -

Que se passe-t-il le jour de la Bastille ( le 14 juillet) = What happens on Bastille day ?

Ça s'est passé un 25 décembre = It happened on Christmas day

Hope this helps!
