Significados de Therefore em português

Le mot "therefore" est un adverbe utilisé en anglais pour indiquer une conclusion ou une conséquence logique. Il est souvent employé dans des contextes formels, tels que des essais académiques, des présentations professionnelles ou des discussions argumentatives. Il peut également apparaître dans des contextes informels, mais son utilisation est plus fréquente dans des écrits ou des discours structurés.

Exemples d'utilisation :

  1. "The experiment failed to produce results; therefore, we need to revise our hypothesis." (L'expérience n'a pas produit de résultats ; par conséquent, nous devons réviser notre hypothèse.)
  2. "She studied hard for the exam; therefore, she was confident about her performance." (Elle a beaucoup étudié pour l'examen ; donc, elle était confiante quant à sa performance.)

Phrases et expressions courantes :

  • "Therefore, it follows that..." (Par conséquent, il s'ensuit que...)
  • "We can conclude that..." (Nous pouvons conclure que...)
  • "As a result, therefore..." (En conséquence, donc...)

Le mot "therefore" est principalement utilisé dans des contextes formels, mais il peut également être utilisé dans des conversations informelles lorsque l'on souhaite souligner une conclusion logique.

Erreurs courantes :
Une erreur fréquente est de confondre "therefore" avec "therefor". "Therefor" est un terme juridique qui signifie "pour cela" et n'est pas interchangeable avec "therefore". Il est également important de ne pas utiliser "therefore" de manière redondante avec d'autres connecteurs logiques comme "thus" ou "hence" dans la même phrase.

Mots apparentés :

  • Synonymes : "thus", "consequently", "as a result".
  • Antonymes : "however", "nevertheless" (ces mots introduisent une opposition plutôt qu'une conséquence).

Prononciation : "Therefore" se prononce /ˈðɛr.fɔːr/ en anglais. La première syllabe est accentuée, et le son "th" est prononcé comme dans "this".

Étymologie : Le mot "therefore" provient de l'anglais ancien "þærfor", qui signifie "pour cela". Il est composé de "there" (là) et "for" (pour), indiquant une relation de cause à effet.
