Hello dear French learners !
Bonne année à tous ! 
Hope you had a wonderful time with your close ones.
Since we are entering in the new year, I thought it would be interesting to learn to distinguish the verbs entrer and rentrer in French.
Literally, they both could be translated by “to get in”, but there is a slight nuance to distinguish.
Entrer refers to the first time you go somewhere, or the start of a new phase in your life.
Examples :
C’est la première fois que j’entre dans ce café.
Nous entrons dans la nouvelle année.
Il y a un mois, je suis entrée dans une ma phase d’essai au travail.
Rentrer refers to you going back to a place you have already visited before.
Example:
Je suis rentrée à la maison directement après avoir acheté du pain à la boulangerie.
Can you try and create your own examples in the comments below ? I’d be happy to correct you if needed 
See you next week for our next disambiguation !
