Avoir mal
This question relates to:French lesson "Avoir mal (à) = To be in pain, to hurt somewhere (French Expressions with avoir)"

Bonjour Sheila,
We would say: ‘jai mal à la tête’ = I have a headache
‘à la’ as 'tête' is feminine
'j'ai mal au dos' = I have a backache
'au' dos as 'dos' is masculine

I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée!
