Notes

GENERAL INFO

Corps (m.) means "body" (human, animal, or physical object), or a "body" in the sense of a group or organization.

USAGE

It's commonly used as "le corps humain" (the human body), "un corps de métier" (a trade/profession group), or "un corps de texte" (a body of text) or "un corps" (a body, a corpse).

TRAPS

Despite ending in 's', corps is a singular noun. The 'ps' is silent, pronounced /kɔʁ/. Don't mistakenly treat it as plural due to the final 's'.
