Article: When you're talking about a tennis match in French, you need to know the correct words for the types of serves and shots that you'll witness over the course of the match. These words are particularly likely to come up when discussing the score of the match. Many words that describe shots are the same as the words you would use in English. French terms to know include: Serve, service: le service (luhr sehr-vees) Service ball: la balle de service (lah bahl deh sehr-vees) Ace: un ace (uhn ays) Forehand: le coup droit (luhr coo dwah) Backhand: le revers (luhr reh-vair) Two-handed backhand: le revers a deux mains (luhr reh-vair ah duhr mahn) Fault, error, out: un faute (uh fuht) Double fault: une double faute (oon doo-bluh fuht) Let: un let (uh leht) Lob: un lob (uh lahb) Slice: le slice (luhr slice) Smash: un smash (uh smash) Drop shot: un amorti (uhn ah-mohr-tee) Volley: la volee (lah voh-lee) In tennis, you may play on a clay court, grass court, or hard court. If you're talking about tennis in French, it can be helpful to know the French words for the different types of courts, as well as the court itself. The English word "court" is, itself, derived from the French word court (kohrr). You'll also hear a tennis court referred to in French as le terrain (luhr teh-rrahng). A clay court is le court de terre battue (luhr kohrr deh tair bah-choo) A hard court is le court en dur (luhr kohrr ahn duhrr) A grass court is le court en gazon (luhrn kohrr ahn geh-zohn). Learning French words for the lines, net, and different areas of the court can help if you're describing where a shot landed. French words you can learn to help you identify different parts of the court include: Alley: le couloir (luhr coo-loo-wah) Baseline: la ligne de fond (lah leen deh fohn) Net: le filet (luhr fee-lay) Service box: le carre de service (luhr keh-rray sehr-vees Service line: la ligne de service (lah leen deh sehr-vees) If you already know how to speak French a little and feel relatively confident in your ability to conjugate French verbs, you can also talk about what's going on in the match in French. Infinitives and verb phrases you might use include: To break the serve: prendre le service To be serving: etre au service To hit: frapper To keep score: tenir le score To play tennis: jouer au tennis To put spin on the ball: donner de l'effet a la balle To serve: servir

Article: Consider your decision to elope and make sure that you are doing it for the right reasons. There are plenty of people who elope in Las Vegas in the heat of the moment, but you might regret your decision if you don't consider it carefully. Keep in mind that your family and friends might be hurt by your elopement if they were expecting a wedding. You might feel ready at the age of 17, but Nevada law requires that each person be at least 18 years old to get married. There some special circumstances that allow minors to get married. In most cases, however, you need to be 18. You can marry at the age of 16 in Nevada with a parent's consent. You will need to get a Las Vegas Marriage License. Obtaining a marriage license is particularly easy in Nevada. You and your partner must bring proof of identity with you. You can download and print the marriage license application from the Clark County Marriage Bureau's website, but you must bring it to their office in person. The office is open from 8AM to midnight daily, including weekends and holidays. Keep in mind that you may have to wait an hour or more on busy holidays. The proof of identity can be a passport, driver's license, or social security card. Many chapels in Las Vegas will have someone there that is authorized to officiate the wedding. If you're eloping in a chapel, a clergyperson or court clerk is allowed to officiate the wedding. Keep in mind that on holidays, like Valentine's Day, many people will be eloping and you may have to find someone in the private sector to do the job. Residents of a country other than the U.S. can get married in Las Vegas, and the procedures and fees would be the same. Marriages performed in Nevada are recognized worldwide, but your home country may require a special document called an apostille to finalize your marriage. Apostilles are issued by the Nevada Secretary of State.
