Common English mistakes French speakers make
These mistakes are extremely common when translating from French to English. Fixing them quickly will make your English sound more natural.
- Saying 'I have 20 years' instead of 'I am 20 years old' — direct translation of 'j'ai 20 ans'
- Saying 'It depends of the weather' instead of 'It depends on the weather'
- Using false cognates like 'sensible' (which means sensitive in French, not sensible)
- Placing adjectives after nouns — saying 'a car red' instead of 'a red car'
Tip: Pick 3 mistakes and practice them daily for a week.
