chanteur The word 'chanteur' is used to refer to a person who sings. It is used in the same contexts as in English, for example to talk about a profession (s/he is a singer = il/elle est chanteur/chanteuse) or an activity (s/he is singing = il/elle chante). Note that 'chanteuse' is used for a female singer. Here's how to use it: Mon frère veut devenir un chanteur. Le chanteur de ce groupe est vraiment talentueux. Je suis un grand fan du chanteur Ed Sheeran.

orchestre The French word 'orchestre' is used similar to English 'orchestra'. It refers to a large group of musicians who play together on various instruments, typically including strings, woodwind, brass, and percussion. Like its English counterpart, 'orchestre' can also be used to refer to the place where those musicians sit in a theatre. Here's how to use it: L'orchestre joue une symphonie de Beethoven Il est le chef de l'orchestre Je vais auditionner pour l'orchestre local

It is used to talk about multiple sources of light or the concept of lighting in general. Here's how to use it: Les lumières de la ville sont belles ce soir. J'aime regarder les lumières des étoiles la nuit. Il y a trop de lumières ici.

joueur The French word 'joueur' is an equivalent of 'player' in English. It is used in the same context as in English, referring to someone participating in a game or sport.

Here's how to use it: Le joueur est prêt à commencer le match. Il est un joueur clé dans notre équipe. Le joueur a réussi à marquer un but dans les dernières secondes du match.
