✕Common Mistakes
Vérifier la couverture de la zone.
The infinitive ‘vérifier’ cannot be used as a command; you need the imperative form ‘Vérifie’ (informal) or ‘Vérifiez’ (formal).
Vérifie la couverture de zone.
When ‘zone’ follows a preposition, the article must agree; ‘la zone’ is correct, but learners sometimes drop the article and say ‘zone’, which sounds incomplete.
Vérifie la couverture du zone.
Using ‘du zone’ is incorrect because ‘zone’ is feminine; the correct contraction is ‘de la’.

Contrôle la couverture de la zone.

Cultural Tip
In French the informal imperative ‘Vérifie’ (tu) is common among colleagues or friends. In a professional or formal setting you would use the plural/formal form ‘Vérifiez’. Also, French speakers often prefer ‘secteur’ or ‘région’ instead of ‘zone’ when talking about network coverage, so you might hear ‘la couverture du secteur’.
