✕Common Mistakes
Je vérifie à mon rendez‑vous.
‘Vérifier’ takes ‘pour’ (purpose) or a direct object, not the preposition ‘à’.
Je vérifie juste mon rendez‑vous.
‘Juste’ should modify the whole purpose phrase, not directly the noun.
Je vérifie juste pour mon rendez vous.
The noun must be hyphenated: ‘rendez‑vous’.

Cultural Tip
In French‑speaking cultures punctuality is highly valued, so confirming an appointment is considered polite and professional. When you call, start with a brief greeting and, if possible, mention the exact time or date to avoid confusion. The hyphen in ‘rendez‑vous’ is mandatory; omitting it is seen as a spelling error.
