How is the custom of shaking hands different in France?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

You can call this shaking hands (se serrer la main, or "to shake hands") or the French handshake (la poignèe de main, or "the handshake"). Shaking hands is, of course, common in many countries, but the French way of doing it is an interesting variation.

Answer 2

Answer:

The French shake hands almost whenever they meet, and always when meeting someone for the first time or for business. Arriving at work in the morning, it is common to greet colleagues with a handshake and to shake hands again when leaving. Read more about French business culture and French business etiquette tips.

Greeting anyone familiar — like a favorite restaurant waiter or a next-door neighbor — also usually involves a crisp handshake.  

However, when colleagues know each other well or in situations between friends, women often greet each other, and male colleagues or friends, with a kiss on the cheek. Beware – don’t take the first step if you are uncertain, but be ready to embrace what comes.

The following sentences are in singular form:
1. Voici le crayon
2. C’est une gomme.
3. Elle aime le livre.
4. C’est une affiche.
5. Voici la carte.
6. C’est le bureau de Mme Gudde.
7. J’aime le hamburger.
8. Tu aimes le sandwich?

Can anyone tell me what are they’re plural forms?

Answers

Answer:

1. Voici les crayons.

2. C'est des gommes.

3. Elle aime les livres.

4: C'est des affiches.

5: Voici les cartes.

6: C'est les bureaux de Mme Gudde.

7: J'aime les hamburgers.

8: Tu aimes les sandwichs?

Explanation:

In singular form, when a word has '"la/le" as determinant, it becomes "les" in plural form. If it's "une/un", then it becomes "des". You then have to add an "x" or "s" at the end of the noun, depending on the word. Don't forget to change the adjectives too.

BUT, some words in french don't change whether they're written in plural or singular form so you have to be careful with that.

Which of the following words contains a prefix meaning "opposed to"?
A. Extraordinaire.
B. Bibliothèque.
C. Antodote.
D. Intervenir.

Answers

Answer:

C. Antodote

Explanation:

It would be this because the prefix ant/anto/anti usually hints that it contradicts something. The word antodote means or translates to antidote in english. B's answer means library, D's answer means intervene and A's answer means extraordinary, none of these really make sense except C (hope you get it right)

PLZ BE FAST ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!New Technology Leads to Bigger CitiesIn the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall.The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization.In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas.Which details are used to support the main fact in the fifth paragraph?
