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.
