Common Mistakes

  • Oui, le technicien peux voir ton bureau.

    Use *peut* (third‑person singular) because the subject is *le technicien*, not *tu*.

  • Oui, le technicien peut voir votre bureau.

    If you keep the informal *ton*, don’t switch to the formal *votre* in the same sentence.

  • Oui, le technicien peut voir ton bureau (when meaning remote access).

    When referring to remote screen sharing, *voir* sounds a bit literal; *accéder à* or *visualiser* is more idiomatic.

Alternatives

  • Oui, le technicien a accès à ton bureau.

    Yes, the technician has access to your office.

  • Oui, il peut regarder ton bureau.

    Yes, he can look at your desk.

Cultural Tip

In French, *ton* is informal. In a professional setting you would normally use *votre* (e.g., « votre bureau ») unless you have a close relationship with the listener. Also, *voir* can imply a visual check, while *accéder* or *visualiser* is more common when talking about remote screen sharing.
