Can someone match the following French words to the English words?

Question

English words: check, main course, menu, snack
French words: l'addition, carte, entrée, goûter

Answer 1

is that your homework?

Anyway. In a restaurant,

The check = l'addition
The menu = la carte
A snack = le goûter (but not really. For us, "le goûter" is a snack you eat at 4 or 5, when you're back from school)
Main course IS NOT l'entrée.
Main course = plat principal
So, there's a mistake in your exercise

The French word "une entrée" is "a starter" or "a first course" (depends in which country you live) or "an entrée" (but not in America - see below)
The English word "Entrée" sometimes means "entrée" in English (in that case, they actually use its French meaning). But in America, it means "main course".

Still confused?

Answer 2

I'm just trying to think of situations when the verb does come at the end of a sentence (like Daniel said). I can't think of any situations except for example in sentences like 'Je l'adore' -> 'I love it', or 'Je t'aime' -> 'I love you', 'Il m'aide' -> 'It/He helps me' Otherwise French I would say has almost exactly the same sentence structure as English. I would hazard a guess this is because of the Latin spoken in church. There are small particle-like words that pop up every so often in more complex structures that I don't fully understand myself yet, but simple sentences are exactly the same as English in conmposition. It's just a matter of remembering that adjectives go after a noun most of the time and the genders of nouns and then making the adjectives agree. To add to this, if you're good at vocabulary, then you should love French, as a large portion of English words (the ones that lean towards the formal) are French in origin.

Answer 3

The main course is the entree, as you will notice on American menus, the check is the addition, which makes sense, and the carte, which means map, is the menu. Also goute is taste, so a snack is really a tasty or something.

Answer 4

check (bill), l'addition,
main course, entrée,
menu, carte,
snack, goûter

Answer 5

Depending on how they're used in a sentence;
I'addition: could be admittance, entry, fee, total fee.
carte: could be like a road map, menu, form of a list
entree: could be to enter, main course of a meal
gouter: testing or testing, sample taste, snack.

Answer 6

check- addition
main course- entrée
menu- carte
snack-gouter
