Common Mistakes

  • Qui peux aider pour des questions de facturation ?

    ‘Peux’ is the first‑person singular form; the subject here is ‘qui’ (third person), so the correct form is ‘peut’.

  • Qui peut aider à des questions de facturation ?

    After ‘peut’, the infinitive follows directly without ‘à’. ‘Aider à’ would be used with a verb, not a noun phrase.

  • Qui peut aider pour la question de facturation ?

    When speaking about multiple issues, use the plural ‘questions’. Singular sounds like you’re referring to one specific question.

Cultural Tip

In French business contexts, it’s common to use the formal ‘vous’ when addressing colleagues you don’t know well. The phrase above is neutral and can be used in both written and spoken form. If you want to sound even more courteous, you can preface it with ‘Excusez‑moi’ or ‘Pardon, …’. Also note that ‘pour des questions de facturation’ is a bit formal; many native speakers prefer ‘au sujet de la facturation’ or ‘concernant la facturation’ in casual conversation.
