dernier The French word for 'last' is 'dernier'. It can be used to refer to the final person, item, or time something happens, similar to the usage in English. Remember, in French, adjective placement usually comes after the noun, unlike in English. However, 'dernier' can be used before or after a noun. Here's how to use it: - C'était le dernier grand film qu'elle ait vu.
- Il est le dernier de sa classe.
- C'est le dernier jour de l’année.

comité The French word 'comité' is used similar to the English word 'committee'. It represents a group of people appointed for a specific function, usually consisting of members who have a particular interest or expertise in a particular area. This term can be used in various contexts, like in business where there is a 'comité de direction' (management committee), or in events where there might be a 'comité d'organisation' (organising committee). Here's how to use it: - Il fait partie du comité de gestion de l'école.
- La décision a été prise par le comité
- Le comité a rejeté l'idée.

taille The French word 'taille' is used to denote the size or dimensions of an object or person. It can be used in sentences like 'Quelle est votre taille de vêtements?' which translates to 'What is your clothing size?'. Remember, it is pronounced as tɑj in native French. Here's how to use it: - La taille n'est pas importante.
- Il a une taille moyenne.
- Elle a une belle taille.

rue The French word for 'street' is 'rue'. It is used similarly as in English, to refer to a public road in a city or town. For example, you could say 'Je vis sur cette rue' which means 'I live on this street'. Here's how to use it: - Tu habites quelle rue?
- Le marché de la rue est toujours animé.
- Faites attention lorsque vous traversez la rue.

choix The French word 'choix' is used similarly to the English word 'choice', indicating the act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities. It can be used in different contexts. For instance, in daily conversations, politics, psychology, and philosophy. Here's how to use it: - J'ai le choix de dîner à la maison ou au restaurant.
