False friends, sentence 2

Picture breakfast in a French hotel: you want jam, so you try to make up a word from English "preserve" - and your teacher jumps in fast, because that word, préservatif, is a famously embarrassing false friend that does not mean jam at all; the word you want is confiture.

Who acts: you, teacher, Picture breakfast, embarrassing false friend, word · What happens: want, try, make up, jump in, be, not mean · To what, where: jam, word, embarrassing false friend, all, confiture
