Common Mistakes

  • Oui sur notre site il y a formulaire de candidature.

    The word order is correct, but learners often forget the comma after ‘Oui’ or omit the article ‘le’, which makes the sentence sound incomplete.

  • Sur notre site il y a le formulaire de candidature.

    When emphasizing location, French prefers ‘le formulaire de candidature se trouve sur…’ rather than repeating ‘il y a’ after a prepositional phrase.

Alternatives

Cultural Tip

In French business communication, it’s common to use the formal ‘vous’ when addressing a client or a stranger. The phrase ‘sur notre site’ is perfectly neutral, but you can also say ‘sur notre site web’ for extra clarity, especially in written contexts. Avoid overly casual shortcuts like ‘le site’ when speaking to a professional audience.
