ITI French Network: “Mistakes Translators Make With Verbs” webinar

Well we know how you feel. That’s why we’ve asked Grant Hamilton to share his insights with us on finding that elusive verb to help us all to get a better night’s sleep. Join us for this one-hour webinar with like-minded people who care about the right use of a verb.

Finding the right English equivalent for your French verb is only the first step. You also have to pick the right verb tense, and that can be harder than you think. We’re going to identify traps — some that are hard to spot — that can play havoc with translations. In one short hour, you’ll gain a finer appreciation of the verb differences between English and French.

Although this webinar focuses on French to English equivalents it will also benefit those working from English to French when it comes to thinking about ‘back translation’ exercises.

A recording will be made available for those who cannot attend live.
