Un tour de balançoire refusé à la cour de récré
A1 French listening practice · French from France · Picked for people who know a little
C’est à mon tour means “it’s my turn,” the sentence every playground runs on. Change the pronoun to switch players: c’est ton tour or à toi ! (“your turn”). Here tour is masculine. Make it feminine and it becomes a different word: la tour is a tower, as in la tour Eiffel. So le tour and la tour only look the same.
Masculine tour also covers a trip around something or a go on a ride: faire un tour (“go for a spin”), un tour de manège, and the Tour de France. Fair sharing has its own saying: chacun son tour, “everyone gets a turn.” The clip is a swing standoff: laisse-moi la balançoire, c’est à mon tour, non, c’est à mon tour, until a dad steps in.
