Questions & Answers about Je mets la souris sur le bureau et j'écris un titre.
Why does mets end with an s if the infinitive is mettre?
Mettre (to put) is an irregular action verb. To form the je (I) and tu (you, singular) forms in the present tense, you drop the -tre from the end and add -s, giving you je mets.
Why is it j'écris instead of je écris?
Is souris the same word used for a live animal mouse?
I learned that bureau means office. Why does it mean desk here?
The word bureau translates to both office (the room) and desk (the piece of furniture). You can usually tell which one it means from context. Since you are putting a computer mouse on it here, desk is the natural fit.
