Cultural Tip
In French business communication, the pronoun *on* is preferred over *nous* because it sounds less formal and more inclusive. *Attribuer* is the standard verb for “assign” in professional settings, while *assigner* is more common in informal speech or in certain regions (e.g., Québec). Remember to keep the past participle *attribué* unchanged because the direct object (*toutes les tâches*) follows the verb.
