French Translation Tips for Conversation
But here’s a translation tip for you: « ne pas oublier », conjugated, is much more common.
“don’t forget to”: « n’oublie pas de »
“to put” or “to place”: « mettre »
This is a very generic translation. Be careful, for a prepositional verb like “to put off” or “to put on”, you’re not going to use « mettre » in French. e.g “to put off” is « retarder ».
“the web site”: « le site web » or « le site internet », you can use both.
“make sure” (imperative): « n’oublie pas ».
You can use the formal « vous » (formal « you ») in the imperative, it will be « n’oubliez pas ».
Here is the full sentence again:
“Make sure to put the opening hours on the website.”
« N’oublie pas de mettre les horaires d’ouverture sur le site web. »
