Confusion and subtleties

English is full of subtleties.

The choice of word can completely change the meaning of the sentence.

Sometimes a single word in French is translated into two words in English to say the same thing and the choice depends on the grammatical construction of the sentence.

That's why I have created this exercise. Find the correct answer from the list. Some answers are used more than once.

Select the '-' if you think nothing needs to be added to make a correct sentence.
