By the way, Christine, you might contact Bob Yates off-List.  He alerted me and the List to the presence of PVs in a number of languages and clearly knows more about them than I do.

  Thanks Ron,
   
  I taught ESL from 2000-2005 and I only had one francophone for a very short time. My French connection is that I spent my junior year of college in Lyon through the University of North Carolina. Now I teach all subjects to at risk youth at a wilderness camp. 
   
  We have so many phrasal verbs in English. It just strikes me as odd that they are not found in other languages. Can you give me a sentence with the Canadian French use of venir with back?

    Hi Christine,

    I am not aware of any.   No, French does not have any.  One does, however, find some forms of French in Canada, particularly New Brunswick, which combine a French verb such as 'venir' with 'back'.

    Do you teach ESL to francophones?   If so where?   And if so, how do you handle faux amis?

    Bye, Ron.
