Questions & Answers about Nous choisirons ce métier pour le salaire, pas vrai ?

How is the future tense verb choisirons formed here?
Since choisir (to choose) is a regular -ir verb, you form the futur simple by taking the entire infinitive (choisir) and adding the future ending for nous, which is -ons. This gives us choisirons (we will choose).
Why use ce instead of cet or cette for "this"?
Métier is a masculine singular noun that starts with a consonant, so it takes the demonstrative adjective ce. You only use cet for masculine nouns starting with a vowel sound (like cet ami), and cette is for all feminine singular nouns.
Is there a difference between un métier and un travail?
Yes! Un métier refers to a specific profession, trade, or career path that often requires training. Un travail is a broader word for "work" or a general "job". Because they are choosing a specific career path for its salary, métier is the perfect fit here.
What exactly does pas vrai mean at the end of the sentence?
Literally translated, it means "not true". French speakers use it as a common, casual tag at the end of a sentence to ask for confirmation, meaning "right?" or "isn't it?". It is a more conversational alternative to the classic phrase n'est-ce pas ?.
