  1. The biggest difference that I found while learning was the reversal of nouns/adjectives.  In English, we usually say the adjective before the noun (ex: a red apple), but in French, the say the noun first (ex: the apple red).


  2. There's a big difference, since English has an Anglosaxon origin and French, like Italian (my language), has a Latin origin.

    So English sentences are shorter and less difficult in grammar than the French ones!!!!!!!!!!

  3. yep french also associates gender to their nouns- masc and fem in english we dont have that.

  4. When translating form English to French, expect the length of the prose to increase by about a third.

    English does not use genders for nouns. Hooray!

    English is a very rich language because of "phrasal verbs", where by changing the preposition, you can completely change the sense of the phrase.

    To do down - to disadvantage someone

    To do up - to renovate

    To do in (slang) - hurt someone

    To do out - to cheat someone of something

    To do with -to need something

    etc.

    There is also the etymology of English, partly derived from Norse, Saxon, Latin and French as well.
