Bonjour

Here is another structure that uses the verb “avoir”:

Avoir mal à + le/ la/ les + partie du corps

Write the following sentences in French using the above structure:

I have a headache => J'ai mal à la tête.

He has a backache. => Il a mal au dos.

Your shoulder hurts.=> Tu as mal à l'épaule. (shoulder is singular => à l'épaule. If shoulder was plural = aux épaules aux= contraction of "à les")

My knees hurt. => J'ai mal aux genoux. (here, " Knees" is plural, so "aux (contraction of à les) genoux." If it was "my knee hurts =j'ai mal à mon genou)

-

hope this helps :)
