How French and English differ

What changes between the two languages, and what to check in the English output.

French compared with English
FeatureFrenchEnglish
Writing systemLatin alphabetLatin alphabet
DirectionLeft to rightLeft to right
Word orderSubject, verb, objectSubject, verb, object
Language familyIndo-European (Romance)Indo-European (Germanic)
Mainly used inFrance, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Monaco and Canada (especially Quebec), and many countries in Africa and elsewherethe United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and many other countries as an official or second language
  • Both languages are written in the Latin alphabet, so names, numbers and punctuation often carry over unchanged. Still read the output for spelling and accent marks.
  • Both languages usually put the verb between subject and object, so sentence structure often carries over closely.
  • French (Romance) and English (Germanic) belong to the same large family, Indo-European, but to different branches, so they are only distantly related. Expect different grammar and core vocabulary; similar-looking words are often borrowings.

French

French adjectives and some past participles agree in gender and number with the word they describe, so "I am ready" is written differently by a man and by a woman.

French uses vous for polite or plural address and tu for family, friends, children and close colleagues.

English

English spelling and vocabulary differ between American and British usage, as in color and colour, so choose one variety and use it consistently.

English uses the same "you" for everyone, so formality is shown through word choice, titles and tone rather than grammar.
