inform

The French verb 'informer' is a direct translation of the English 'to inform.' It is used in the same context as in English, meaning to provide someone with knowledge or news. For example, one might inform a friend about a change of plans or inform a colleague about the outcome of a meeting. It is important to note that 'informer' can be used transitively, requiring a direct object to indicate who is being informed. It is a regular '-er' verb in French, conjugated similarly to other verbs in this group.
