To hold

Just like the verbs previously discussedto hold may be related to a particular French verb, which 

in this case is tenir. However, as we already know, the semantic fields of the two verbs may only 

occasionally overlap, which leaves large areas of uncertainty. It is very easy to step out onto thin 

ice. For example:

Jack has never held a job for more than a week.

Which verb should be used in French? Tenir?

XJack n’a jamais tenu un emploi plus d’une semaine.

Although a French person would probably understand the preceding phrase, being merely 

understood is not enough! The correct sentence is:

Jack n’ai jamais gardé/conservé un emploi plus d’une semaine.

Let’s look at some other examples:
