est

In French, the word 'east' is translated as 'est'. It is used exactly like in English to refer to the cardinal direction. For example, in the phrase 'il vient de l'est' the translation would be 'he comes from the east'. It's simple to use and the pronunciation is very similar to the English version of the word.

Here's how to use it:

• Il est en train de manger.
• Paris est la capitale de la France.
• La vie est belle.

différent

The word 'différent' in French is used in the same manner as 'different' in English. It is used to describe or highlight how one thing is not the same as another. It can be used when comparing objects, people, places, situations, and ideas. It can also be used in a sentence like 'C'est différent!', meaning 'It's different!'

Here's how to use it:

• Il a un style différent du tien.
• J'ai un point de vue différent.
• Elle cuisine de manière différente.

résolution

The French word 'résolution' is used similarly to the English word 'resolution'. It can mean a firm decision to do or not to do something. It is also used to denote the quality of a display, image, or sound. é.g. 'La résolution de l'affichage est excellente,' which means 'The resolution of the display is excellent.' We also use it to discuss laws and proposals, similar to English.

Here's how to use it:

• La résolution de l'image est très importante pour le photographe.
• Cette année, ma résolution est de voyager plus.
• La résolution du conflit a pris des années.

boire

In French, 'boire' is used to mean 'drink'. It is a verb and it is used just like how 'drink' is used in English. For example, 'Je veux boire de l'eau' means 'I want to drink water'. It can also be conjugated in different ways based on tense.

Here's how to use it:

• J'aime boire du café le matin.
• Elle doit boire beaucoup d'eau.
• Nous allons boire un verre ce soir.

million

The French word 'million' is used exactly the same way as in English-speaking countries. It is used to quantify or express the numeric value which is often paired with nouns to express an amount. It is important to note that you should use 'de' after million in French if you are speaking about a specific noun, e.g. 'Un million de personnes' translates to 'A million people'. However, if referring to 'one million' in general, 'Un million' would be appropriate.

Here's how to use it:

• J'ai un million de dollars en banque.
• Nous avons besoin d'un million de votes pour gagner.
• Ce tableau a été vendu pour deux millions d'euros.
