Let’s see these new words in action!
L'autre jour, ma femme enceinte est restée coincée dans la fenêtre. Je suis triste d'annoncer que je ne blague pas. Elle s'apprêtait à baisser les stores lorsqu'elle glissa sur un jouet que notre fils avait laissé par terre. Les pompiers sont venus la sauver deux heures plus tard.
Today's challenge:
- Conjugate the verb "baisser" in the present tense.
- Write a few sentences using all of today's words at least once.
*I don't actually have any idea how l'internaute chooses their words of the day. For all I know they spend hours and hours fighting over this in a science lab over large bowls of nachos and a few beers. The beers are my only explanation to this particular choice of words.
