  1. Literal translations usually don't work.

    I am 14 years old= j'ai quatorze ans (I have fourteen years)

    I love animals=correct

    I have a parrot= J'ai un perroquet (Je dois un perroquet=I have to a parrot)

    I have two sisters and a brother= J'AI deux soeurs et un frère

    My birthday is on...=Mon anniversaire est le (day+month/ deux avril)(my birthday is the two april)


  2. 1- J'ai quatorze ans

    2- J'aime les animaux

    3- J'ai un perroquet

    4- J'ai deux soeurs et un frere

    5- (example for someone born on the 25th of December:

    Mon anniversaire est le 25 decembre.

  3. The first one is incorrect. In French, they do not say that someone IS a certain age. They HAVE that many number of years. The correct way to do the first sentence would be "J'ai quatorze ans." which means "I have fourteen years".

    The second sentence is correct.

    The third sentence is incorrect. What you wrote literally translates into "I have to a parrot." 'Dois' is like 'have to'. The verb for have is 'avoir' and to conjugate it to the 'je' form would be "j'ai", just like in "J'ai quatorze ans." You would say "J'ai un perroquet."

    Same thing with the fourth sentence. It should be "J'ai deux soeurs (the spelling you put was incorrect) et un frere." Make sure you put the correct accents, as well.

    My birthday is on = Mon anniversaire c'est...

    The date comes before the month. I'll use my birthday as an example. I was born on April 29th, 1992. So I would say "Mon anniversaire c'est le vingt-neuf avril, dix-neuf quatre-vingt-douze." You don't have to spell out the dates and years, just make sure you can pronounce them. I hope this helps!

  4. I am 14 years old = j`ai quatorze ans

    I love animals = j`aime les animaux

    I have a parrot = j`ai un perroquet

    I have two sisters and a brother = j`ai deux sœurs et un frère

    my birthday is on = mon anniversaire est le...

    exemple:

    mon anniversaire est le 4 septembre (4th september)
