Translation of: 'How do you say that in English?'
This question relates to:French lesson "Inverted questions in the present tense (Le Présent) in French - regular forms (except il/elle/on forms)"
Asked 2 years ago
Hi andrea,
The sentences which spring to my mind would be -
Comment ça se dit en anglais ?
Comment on dit ça en anglais ?
which are impersonal 'tournures' but that is what you would say colloquially.
Hope this helps!
