Questions & Answers about Le télétravail crée un bon équilibre.

Is télétravail the most common way to say "remote work" in French?

Yes! The prefix télé- implies distance, just like in television or telephone. You will hear le télétravail used for both "remote work" and "working from home." You can also say Je suis en télétravail to mean "I am working from home."

Why does crée have two 'e's at the end, and how is it pronounced?

The infinitive verb is créer (to create). When you drop the -er to get the stem, you are left with cré-. Then you add the standard -e ending for the il/elle/on form, resulting in crée. The extra 'e' doesn't change the pronunciation; it sounds just like cré.

Why does bon come before équilibre instead of after it?

While most French adjectives follow the noun, bon (good) is an exception. It belongs to a group of short, common adjectives that go before the noun. You might remember the BANGS rule from earlier lessons (Beauty, Age, Number, Goodness, Size) — bon falls right into the "Goodness" category.

If I wanted to add the discourse marker en effet (indeed) from this lesson, where would it go?
