entrer

to enter

verb ahn-TREH Common

Also means

to come in

Usage Note

Entrer uses the auxiliary être in compound tenses, so agreement must match the subject: elle est entrée. The phrase entrer en contact means to get in touch with someone, and entrer en jeu means to come into play. Do not confuse it with rentrer, which implies returning home.

Examples

"Entrez, la porte est ouverte."

Natural Translation

Come in, the door is open.
