Note that "participer dans", which is the reverse equivalent of "participate to" in French and a frequent mistake of native English speakers, yields 654 000 results in Google, not all of them wrong, but certainly misleading (and I should think that 654 000 hits in French is proportionally more than 1.5 million hits in English).
get off work or take off work? | WordReference Forums
31 Mar 2026 at 10:02pm
You should ask 'what time do you get off work?' or 'what time do you finish work?' To 'take time off work' means to take a holiday, or not go in to work that day. eg. 'I'm taking monday off'. Not to be confused with 'I'm going to take off now' which is just a colloquial expression meaning 'I am going now'.

Kicking butt means winning a fight or argument, or even a contest or game, especially in a way that leaves your opponent hurting in some way. Taking names means identifying your opponents to take further action against them. "I'm kicking butt and taking names" means you are winning in a really big way.

Yes, definitely. I think it can mean taking the long-term approach to a specific problem. Forward-looking people can be pragamatic and not necessarily concerned with "cultural" or aesthetic issues like forward- thinking people tend to be. In general parlance, I'd say forward-thinking has more to do with being avant-garde or "progressive." .
