I haven't really come across the phrase in English, but I suppose as a french equivalent you could go for: "venir au monde", which means to come into existence/being.

You're correct- I'm in year eleven at the moment. :p:

I'm not sure, I really like the language and I like finding extra things out.. but I wouldn't say I'm particularly good! Thanks though. :smile:

Wow, you're only doing GCSE's? From your posts on this forum I thought you were a much higher level!

I trust you'll be applying for French at uni? :wink:

It would always help if you gave the context or even an example sentence :smile:

Without any context, I would say venir/entrer en action but it really does depend on the context!

Hello !!

I'm a french guy trying to improve my english by myself... and with the help of my friend "Internet" !!

If you've got questions about the best way to translate an english word or sentence into french, don't hesitate to ask me...

But when you want to know the best translation of ONE word, please try as often as possible to give me this word in a complete sentence, a context. Otherwise I'll give you a possible translation, but it might not be the best one.

About the "to come into action" stuff, I'll give a translation once it will be in a complete sentence.
