| retourner The French word 'retourner' translates to 'return' in English. It is a common verb that can be used in various contexts in the French language. One can use it to return to a location (Je retourne à Paris.' - 'I return to Paris.') or to return an item (Je vais retourner ce chemisier. – I am going to return this blouse). Here's how to use it: Je dois retourner à l'école demain. Nous devons retourner le sol avant de planter. Le serveur a dû retourner en cuisine pour vérifier l'ordre. | |
| mordre The French word 'mordre' is used to express the act of biting. It is a verb that can be used in various contexts, such as 'Il a mordu dans la pomme' (He bit into the apple) or 'Le chat a mordu le chien' (The cat bit the dog). It is important to note that the pronunciation is slightly different from the English word 'bite', as the 'dre' in 'mordre' is silent, making it sound more like 'more'. Here's how to use it: | |
| annonce de travail In French, 'annonce de travail' is commonly used to refer to a job advertisement or a notice about job openings. It typically includes details about the position, such as responsibilities, qualifications required, and how to apply. This phrase is often found in job boards, recruitment websites, or newspapers, where employers share opportunities for potential candidates. Here's how to use it: L'annonce de travail a attiré beaucoup de candidats. Nous avons reçu une annonce de travail pour un poste à temps plein. L'annonce de travail précise les qualifications requises. | |
| promenade In French, the word 'promenade' can be used to describe a short trip or journey, often by vehicle, for pleasure or leisure. It can also refer to a leisurely walk or stroll, especially in a park or scenic area. The word is derived from the verb 'promener', which means 'to walk' or 'to stroll'. Here's how to use it: Nous avons fait une belle promenade dans le parc. J'aime faire une promenade le soir pour me détendre. Avez-vous le temps pour une promenade après le dîner? | |
| réalité The French word for reality is 'réalité'. It is used in much the same way as in English. It can denote the state of things as they actually are, rather than as they are imagined or desired to be. It can also refer to a thing that is actually experienced or seen. Note that in French, all nouns have a gender, and 'réalité' is feminine. Here's how to use it: La réalité est souvent plus complexe que ce qu'on pense. La réalité de la vie dans une grande ville peut être accablante pour certains. La réalité virtuelle est une nouvelle technologie fascinante. | |
