frère

The French word for 'brother' is 'frère'. It is used in the same context as in English, referring to a male sibling. It can also be used metaphorically to describe a close bond with someone, like a brotherhood.

Here's how to use it:

• Je vais au cinéma avec mon frère.
• J'aime jouer au football avec mon frère.
• Mon frère vit à Paris.

moment

The French word 'moment' is used in much the same way as its English equivalent. It can refer to a brief period of time, an instance, or a specific stage in events or process. It's often used in phrases like 'à ce moment-là' (at that moment), 'pour le moment' (for the moment), or 'un moment donné' (a given moment). Remember that like all French nouns, 'moment' has a gender and is masculine, so you would say 'un moment' (a moment).

Here's how to use it:

• Un moment, s'il vous plaît.
• Chaque moment compte.
• Il est temps d'agir au lieu de chercher le moment parfait.

spécial

The French word 'spécial' is an adjective used to denote a thing, person, event or moment that distinguishes from others because it has some unusual characteristics or it has a significant importance. It can be used to describe anything from food to occasions.

Here's how to use it:

• Il a un talent spécial.
• C'est une offre spéciale.
• C'est un animal spécial.

justice

The French word for 'justice' is also 'justice', pronounced slightly differently. It is used in the same contexts as in English, such as referring to fairness or legal decisions. For example, 'La justice est servie' means 'Justice is served'.

Here's how to use it:

• Ils se battent pour la justice sociale.
• Le palais de justice est en centre ville.
• Il faut faire preuve de justice dans chaque décision.

pousser

The French word 'pousser' is used to denote the English term 'push'. It can be utilized in a similar manner in sentences, especially in contexts involving physical actions. However, it might not always apply to metaphorical contexts. Hence, understanding its placement in sentences is important which can be achieved through ample practice.

Here's how to use it:

• Pousser un soupir de soulagement.
