Pretend to be fluent? Then you have to know these words as they are just around us quite every day, right?
NB:
- "pipe" in pipewrench has nothing to do with the. French "pipe", but Fr "tube"; this model of wrench is effectively used by plumbers or say to deal with pipes.
- I'm sorry but a bolt is a screw + a nut.
- True that a "tape measure" is the object in the picture, not a
- no mistake, the spelling is well "mallet" for our Fr "maillet"
- no need to exactly know the exact technical words but let's use wrench, pliers, saw... properly provided you can describe the use (English people don't know better than the French).
- I didn't know "corkscrew"... I'm saying "cork remover" but I don't find it in my dictionary... and my friends don't correct me
.~~~ edit
Regarding the last point, "cork remover" is understood.
However it appears that oodles of words/expressions are in use: bottle opener, cork puller, Wine Bottle Opener, Corkscrew Wine Opener, corl pops, cork popper... Amazon knows all of them.

Gérard I agree that the single biggest problem in sexist language is the generic masculine pronoun, that's the reason why I wrote the same expression with "woman". "Person" or "they" are the solution to that problem.

"Underpants" or "undies", "umbrella" or "brolly".
Don't forget taht when there're 2 things (2 legs, 2 arms, 2 anything), you need a plural... English speaking people do wonder why the French say "toilettes".
This page is American. Pullover and sweater are Am, the Brits rather say "jumper".

Tx Gérard, it was very useful for me to read these examples especially "To make dinner" when we write "To make the dinner" ii is because of the French language.
