Cultural Tip
In French, 'enquêter sur' is a formal way to say 'investigate'. In everyday conversation you might hear 'regarder' or 'vérifier' for less formal contexts. Also, remember to match the possessive adjective (ta/ton/votre) with the level of familiarity: 'ta' is informal, while 'votre' would be used with strangers or in professional settings.
