- The name given to the movement which was born in the aftermath of the armistice after the defeat of the French army by the Germans in June 1940. On 18 June General de Gaulle, broadcasting on the BBC from London, called on the French people to carry on the struggle. Meanwhile in Paris Conseils à l'occupé was secretly published by Jean Texcier. Isolated acts of resistance by ordinary people against the occupation developed into organized armed conflict with people from all sections of society taking part. The occupying forces tried to suppress the resistance movement with hostage-taking, torture, executions and reprisals, but by 1941 the résistants were making a significant contribution to the eventual liberation of France in 1944. Memorials throughout France recall their courageous exploits.
- take number, quantity
- soustraire (from de)

get is used in many idiomatic expressions (to get something off one's chest etc.) and translations will be found in the appropriate entry (chest etc.). This is also true of offensive comments (get stuffed etc.) where the appropriate entry would be stuff.
Remember that when get is used to express the idea that a job is done not by you but by somebody else (to get a room painted etc.) faire is used in French followed by an infinitive (faire repeindre une pièce etc.).
When get has the meaning of become and is followed by an adjective (to get rich/drunk etc.) devenir is sometimes useful but check the appropriate entry (rich, drunk etc.) as a single verb often suffices (s'enrichir, s'enivrer etc.).
For examples and further uses of get see the entry below.
