Two words: MAKE and TAKE.
Deux mots: FAIRE et PRENDRE.
They do not mean the same thing; yet, they can cause a lot of confusion!
In French and in English, we TAKE a picture (prendre une photo). This one is easy!
However, in English, we MAKE a decision, but in French we TAKE a decision (prendre une decision).
In English, we TAKE a walk, but in French, we MAKE a walk (faire une balade).
In English we MAKE an appointment, but in French we TAKE an appointment (prendre un rendez-vous).
In English we TAKE a cruise, but in French we MAKE a cruise (faire uns croisière).
So there's your French lesson for the day!
