In French, the verb “sauter” means “to jump”, as in “corde à sauter” (“jump rope” in America, or “skipping rope” in England)
Today, we’ll go over its conjugaison.
And in case you were wondering what today’s post title refers to, it actually paraphrases a famous Olympique de Marseille aphorism that says “Qui ne saute pas n’est pas Marseillais!” (“Whoever doesn’t jump is not from Marseille!”)
