How can you use “maître-” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Lucien Maître-Créche, a 48-year-old copywriter specializing in fast-food accounts, was found guilty by a jury of eight men and four women of deliberately using the imperfect subjunctive tense of the franglaism jumbo frankfurter in a series of ads posted in the Paris Metro system.
However, if M. Maître-Crèche is to serve eight years, the judges must get life, or even death.
Maître-Créche, on the other hand, was charged with a felony, punishable by a maximum prison sentence of 25 years, because the term was not used in “the ephemeral, innocuous context of speech,” according to the prosecutor, but in the “semi-non-ephemeral, culturally reverberative context of advertising.”
For what M. Maître-Crèche used was not the imperfect subjunctive of the verb jumbo frankfurter but of the verb aimer.
Experts on French criminal syntax say that Maître-Crèche was lucky that he didn't use the future anterior tense, which is punishable by the guillotine.
