Ecrivez vs incrivez

Lori K.C1Kwiziq community member

If the expression was write your name here, an action for signing an agreement, could you use ecrivez in place of incrivez which means register.

Hi Lori,

If someone was asking you to write your name down (because they weren't sure of the spelling for instance) you would use 'écrire'.

If you signed up for something on an official document, you would use 's'inscrire'.

Inscrire is used less frequently and means to inscribe. Take a look at the following page for lots of examples -

Hope this helps!
