3 most common mistakes English Speakers make
Here are the 3 most common mistakes made by our English-speaking friends:
-
"plus mieux" = much better In French, we don't say "plus mieux" but "mieux" or "encore mieux." Indeed, the word « mieux » is already the superlative of "bien."
-
"chaque 3 mois" = each 3 months In French, "chaque" is used only in the singular. For example, every day, every week, every month, or every year. If you want to use the plural form of "3 months," for example, you should say "tous les 3 mois." The same goes for days and years, and all recurrences in the plural. For example : tous les lundis, tous les jours, toutes les semaines (every Monday, every day, every week…)
-
"les pensements" (thoughts). Thoughts are the things we think about, the things that cross our minds and can be translated into action. "Pansements," which have roughly the same pronunciation as "pensements" in English, are actually "bandages" that we use to put on the skin when we are injured.
