over is often used with nouns in English when talking about superiority ( control over etc) or when giving the cause of something ( concern over, worries over etc). For translations, consult the appropriate noun entry (control, concern, worry etc)

over

❢ Over is used after many verbs in English ( change over, fall over, lean over etc). For translations, consult the appropriate verb entry (change, fall, lean etc). over is often used with another preposition in English (to, in, on) without altering the meaning. In this case over is usually not translated in French: to be over in France = être en France ; to swim over to sb = nager vers qn. over is often used with nouns in English when talking about superiority ( control over, priority over etc) or when giving the cause of something ( delays over, trouble over etc). For translations, consult the appropriate noun entry (control, priority, delay, trouble etc). over is often used as a prefix in verb combinations ( overeat), adjective combinations ( overconfident) and noun combinations ( overcoat). These combinations are treated as headwords in the dictionary.
