Common Mistakes

  • Tu recevoir 92 € pour 100 USD.

    Using the present tense ‘recevoir’ changes the meaning to ‘you receive’ instead of the future ‘you will receive’.

  • Tu recevras 92€ pour 100 USD.

    In French the euro sign must be preceded by a space; writing ‘92€’ is considered a typographical error.

  • Tu recevras 92 € avec 100 USD.

    ‘Pour’ is correct for ‘in exchange for’, but learners sometimes replace it with ‘avec’, which changes the meaning.

Cultural Tip

In French financial contexts, the euro sign follows the amount with a space, while foreign currency codes (USD, GBP, etc.) are usually placed after the number. When speaking, you would say ‘cent dollars américains’ rather than ‘100 USD’. Also, the informal ‘tu’ is appropriate only with people you know well; with strangers or in formal settings, use ‘vous recevrez…’.
