To say that a person lead a movement, would I use the verb "mener à or "conduire à" for "to lead"? Or doesn't it matter?

mener.

thanks again

No preposition!

Sra (aka Mme)

To express the idea of "to lead" when referring to a person leading a movement, you can use either "mener à" or "conduire à" in French. Both verbs can be used interchangeably in this context, and they convey the same meaning.

If you are using the phrase in a sentence, here's how you can construct it:

1. To say "A person leads a movement," you can say:
- "Une personne mène un mouvement."
- "Une personne conduit un mouvement."

Both sentences convey the same meaning, and the choice between "mener" and "conduire" is a matter of personal preference or style. Some speakers may have a preference for one or the other, but there is no significant difference in meaning between the two verbs in this context.
