C1noun

l’ébauche

rough draft, first outline

Written with an elided article (l’ébauche) because the noun starts with a vowel sound, so the written gender is not visible here.

« Il m’a montré une première ébauche du projet, encore très imparfaite. »

“He showed me a first draft of the project, still very rough.”
