Bonjour - I was going to use 'regarder', but changed it to 'observer' just to see if it would work and it was not accepted. Both Collins and LaRousse give 'to watch, or to observe' as translations for 'observer'. Is there any reason why 'observer' wouldn't work in this case?

- Bonjour Sandra ! J'ai besoin de ton aide. - Qu'est-ce que je peux faire pour toi ? - Je dois partir(quitter) à midi parce que ma fille est malade. Est-ce que tu peux prévenir(avertir) Jean-Pierre ? - Pas de problème ! J'ai une réunion avec lui avant mon déjeuner avec Marielle. - Merci beaucoup ! Lucie a de la fièvre et je suis un peu inquiète. - Je comprends.
