Martha from Cape Cod in the USA is confused about when to use the verb FALLOIR and when to use DEVOIR in French. As a result, she says she exclusively uses DEVOIR. The two verbs actually have the same meaning but the structure of the sentence will be different. Let’s see how they work, with concrete examples. I’ll also give you additional meanings for DEVOIR 😉

Devoir = je dois, tu dois, il/elle/on doit, nous devons, vous devez, ils doivent
Pour faire des crêpes, il faut de la farine, des œufs, etc. = on doit prendre/avoir…

Les enfants se sont faits mal en se bagarrant : ça devait arriver ! = The kids hurt each other fighting. That was bound to happen!
Vous devez être heureux de cette belle nouvelle !
Il est en retard, il doit être dans les embouteillages.
