Bonjour Forbasong,

Take a look at the lesson below (it explains "to be in pain" in French, including "to have a sore throat"):

Avoir mal (à) = To be in pain, to hurt somewhere (French Expressions with avoir)

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !

Bonjour Jason,

You're nearly there! The word "gorge" is feminine. Therefore, the full expression is going to be: j'ai mal à la gorge.

Take another look at the lesson and at the link below:

Article contracté

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
