Notes
GENERAL INFO
Fois means 'time' in the sense of an instance or occurrence. It is a feminine noun.
USAGE
Use it to count how many times something happens (e.g., "une fois" - once, "deux fois" - twice).
It also appears in expressions like "à la fois" (at the same time) or "chaque fois" (each time).
TRAPS
Don't confuse fois with "temps"! Fois counts occurrences (e.g., "three times"), while "temps" refers to duration, general time, or weather (e.g., "a long time," "the weather").
Also, don't confuse it with its homophones : fois (times) VS foie (liver) VS foi (faith)
