agence The word 'agence' in French is commonly used to denote a bureau or office where business is conducted or services provided. It is similar to the English usage of the term 'agency' and can cover a wide range of contexts, such as a travel agency (agence de voyage) or news agency (agence de presse). It can be used in both formal and informal settings. Here's how to use it: L'agence de presse a publié un article sur l'événement. Nous avons réservé notre voyage par une agence en ligne. L'agence d'assurance offre de nombreuses options de couverture.

grandir The term 'grandir' in French is used to express the idea of becoming larger or increasing in size, which could pertain to both physical and metaphorical growth. Just the same as in English, this term can be used to address a person’s growing in terms of age, knowledge, personal development and so on. Here's how to use it: Nous devons grandir rapidement pour survivre. Ne sois pas pressé de grandir. Pour grandir, il faut manger suffisamment.

système The French word 'système' is used to denote a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network.

Therefore, it fits in a variety of contexts like computer systems ('système informatique'), economic system ('système économique') or solar system ('système solaire'). Here's how to use it: Le système solaire est vaste. Ce système informatique est très avancé. Le système de navigation a cessé de fonctionner.

Here's how to use it: Ce tri permettra de déterminer qui sera retenu pour le poste. Un tri sélectif du matériel est nécessaire avant de déménager. J'ai oublié de faire le tri des couleurs avant de laver mes vêtements.
