sembler

The French word for 'seem' is 'sembler'. It is generally used in the same context as in English, to be used to give a feeling or impression about something. For example, 'it seems like it might rain today' translates to 'il semble qu'il pourrait pleuvoir aujourd'hui'.

charge

The French word 'charge' is similar to the English 'charge' but it can have different meanings based on context. It can mean a responsibility or duty, as in 'J'ai beaucoup de charges à la maison' (I have lots of responsibilities at home). It also can refer to a load or a burden, as in a physical object being carried. Just like in English, 'charge' in French can also refer to a financial cost or fee. Its usage depends on the context within sentences.

Here's how to use it:

• Je suis en charge de préparer le dîner ce soir.
• La batterie de mon téléphone est à charge complète.
