Significados de Previous em português

Le mot 'previous' est un adjectif en anglais qui signifie 'précédent' ou 'antérieur'. Il est utilisé pour désigner quelque chose qui a eu lieu avant un moment donné, un événement ou une chose.

Utilisation quotidienne :

  1. Contextes formels et informels : 'Previous' peut être utilisé dans des contextes formels, comme dans des documents académiques, des rapports ou des présentations. Par exemple, on peut dire : "In my previous research, I found..." (Dans mes recherches précédentes, j'ai trouvé...). Dans des contextes informels, il peut également être utilisé dans des conversations quotidiennes : "I saw you at the previous party." (Je t'ai vu à la fête précédente.)

  2. Exemples d'utilisation :

    • "The previous owner of the house made several renovations." (Le propriétaire précédent de la maison a effectué plusieurs rénovations.)
    • "During the previous meeting, we discussed the budget." (Lors de la réunion précédente, nous avons discuté du budget.)

Un malentendu fréquent est d'utiliser 'previous' pour désigner quelque chose qui se passe en même temps ou qui est simultané. 'Previous' doit toujours faire référence à quelque chose qui est déjà arrivé ou qui a été mentionné avant.

Mots connexes :

  • Synonymes : former, prior, former (antérieur).
  • Antonymes : next (suivant), following (suivant).

Prononciation : Le mot 'previous' se prononce /ˈpriːviəs/. Il est important de noter que la première syllabe est accentuée.

Grammaire : 'Previous' est un adjectif et peut être utilisé avant un nom ou après un verbe d'état. Par exemple, "The previous chapter was interesting." (Le chapitre précédent était intéressant.)

Étymologie : Le mot 'previous' vient du latin 'praevius', qui signifie 'aller devant' ou 'antérieur'.
