Prépositions+metiers
In our recent discussions, we explored some fundamental prepositions in French and their English equivalents. Prepositions are crucial in any language as they help us describe relationships between objects, places, and people. Here’s a quick recap of what we covered:
Sous - Under: Indicates something is below or beneath another object.
Example: Le chat est sous la table. (The cat is under the table.)
Sur - On: Refers to something being on top of another object.
Example: Le livre est sur la table. (The book is on the table.)
Dans - In: Describes something inside another object or space.
Example: Les clés sont dans le tiroir. (The keys are in the drawer.)
Devant - Before/In front of: Indicates something is ahead or in front of another object.
Example: La voiture est devant la maison. (The car is in front of the house.)
Derrière - Behind: Refers to something being at the back of another object.
Example: Le jardin est derrière la maison. (The garden is behind the house.)
Entre - Between: Describes something situated in the middle of two objects.
Example: Le chien est entre les deux arbres. (The dog is between the two trees.)
Ici - Here: Indicates a location close to the speaker.
Example: Je suis ici. (I am here.)
Là-bas - At a distance/Over there: Refers to a location far from the speaker.
Example: Le parc est là-bas. (The park is over there.)
In addition to prepositions, we also discussed some important professions vocabulary. Here are a few key terms:
