Police – la police

(Pronounced pul-eess)

To remember that Police is pronounced pul-eess (police) in French, use the following mnemonic:

The police arrested the Eiffel Tower.

NOTE: The Eiffel Tower is a French icon and whenever you see it in one of our images, it means that the word is basically the same in both English and French.

Police is feminine, so it's la police. Imagine the Labrador is working as a police dog.
