Galipette got most of them right but as you know a puppy is always a dog, chiot and an accountant is a comptable.

For "sleeping" it will depend on your sentence whether you mean "dormir" (the activity in general), or dormant (asleep).

Also unlike in English, language/nationality adjectives aren't capitalized. Country names are.

@Galipette take it to email
