pleurer The French word 'pleurer' is used to express the act of crying, either due to sadness, pain, or strong emotions. It can be used in various contexts, such as 'Il pleure après avoir perdu son chien' (He cries after losing his dog) or 'Elle pleure de joie' (She cries from joy). Here's how to use it: Elle va commencer à pleurer si elle regarde ce film triste. Arrête de pleurer, tout va bien se passer. Il ne faut pas pleurer sur le lait renversé.

gratuit The French word for 'free' is 'gratuit'. It is used much the same way as in English, to denote that something does not cost any money. For example, 'entrée gratuite' means 'free entrance'. However, it's important to note that 'gratuit' only refers to monetary free. If you're talking about 'free' as in freedom, the word would be 'libre'. Here's how to use it: L'hôtel fournit des bouteilles d'eau gratuites. Le Wi-Fi est gratuit dans cette bibliothèque. Le stationnement est gratuit le dimanche.

sont The word 'sont' is the French equivalent of the English word 'are'. It is used to express the plural form of the verb 'to be' in the present tense. For example, 'Ils sont grands' translates to 'They are tall' in English. Here's how to use it: | |

répond The French word for respond is 'répond'. It is used in the same context as in English, to reply or answer in response to something. It can be used in both formal and informal contexts. However, depending on the tense and the subject of the sentence, the ending of the verb might change according to French grammar rules. Here's how to use it: Répond au téléphone, s'il te plaît. Il ne répond jamais à mes questions. Réponds-moi quand tu peux.

économie The word 'économie' is used in French to refer both to the economic system (just like in English) and to the academic discipline that studies it. It is a feminine noun, so it is used with the definite articles 'la'. For instance, 'La économie est importante'. Here's how to use it: L'économie est une science sociale complexe. La mondialisation affecte l'économie de diverses manières. Il étudie l'économie à l'université.
