✕Common Mistakes

  • Je peux vérifier la disponibilité du billets pour toi.

    ‘Billets’ is plural, so the partitive article should be ‘des’, not the singular ‘du’.

  • Je peux vérifier la disponibilité des billets pour vous.

    If you’re speaking to a friend, use ‘pour toi’; ‘pour vous’ sounds overly formal.

  • Je peux vérifier les billets pour toi.

    Leaving out ‘disponibilité’ changes the meaning to ‘check the tickets themselves’, not whether they’re still available.

↔Alternatives

  • Je peux voir si les billets sont disponibles pour toi.

    I can see if the tickets are available for you.

  • Je peux regarder la disponibilité des billets pour toi.

    I can look at the ticket availability for you.

  • Je m'occupe de vérifier les billets pour toi.

    I'll take care of checking the tickets for you.
