Cultural Tip
In French, the verb 's'occuper de' is the go‑to expression for taking responsibility for something, from children to large projects. Avoid using 'prendre soin de' for events, as it sounds more like caring for a person or a living thing. In formal contexts you might prefer 'prendre en charge' or 'être responsable de'.
