Questions and negatives need "do"

French inverts or uses est-ce que; English builds questions/negatives with do: "Do you want…?", "I don't know" — not "You want…?" / "I know not".

from your first language

Calques: "I am agree", "I have 20 years"

"Je suis d'accord" → I AGREE (a verb, no "am"); "j'ai 20 ans" → I AM 20. Don't translate avoir/être word-for-word.

Articles (a/an/the)

When to use a/an/the vs nothing is subtle and trips most learners.

core challenge

Tense & aspect

Present perfect vs past simple, continuous vs simple — English aspect is fine-grained.

core challenge

Prepositions

in/on/at and dependent prepositions (interested IN, good AT) are idiomatic.

core challenge

French↔English false friends

actuellement = currently (not actually); librairie = bookshop; assister = to attend; éventuellement = possibly, not "eventually".
