En effet, les autres techniques telles que lotissement, homologation, expropriation restent considérées comme beaucoup moins courantes et même parfois exceptionnelles. Il s'agit de synonymes géographiques. Au Canada, on parle en termes de «contrôle», et comme en anglais, on applique le mot tantôt à l'ensemble des pouvoirs et interventions exercés par l'autorité publique, tantôt à un seul de ces moyens (p. ex. le zonage est un contrôle de l'utilisation du sol). Les termes français «maîtrise foncière» et «maîtrise des sols», qui ne se prêtent pas à cette deuxième acception de «contrôle», recouvrent des éléments du droit français qui ne correspondent pas à la réalité canadienne, mais il reste que la notion globale est essentiellement la même. 1, record 11, French, - contr%C3%B4le%20de%20l%27utilisation%20du%20sol

A smothered verb is a verb converted to a noun, so it needs a helping verb and prepositions or articles to express action. This lengthens a sentence and saps its vitality. It also encourages use of the passive voice. "We are in agreement with the decision." In this sentence, the writer has smothered the main verb (agree) with a noun (agreement). The noun now requires a helping verb (are) and a preposition (in) to show action. 3, record 16, English, - smothered%20verb
Record number: 16, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Who Was That Masked Verb? An easy way to make your writing more brief is to unmask verbs. A masked(or smothered) verb kills your sentence with word overload or by unnecessarily combining nouns and verbs. So instead of writing, "The report is saying everything is fine, "write, "The report says everything is fine. "You’ve strengthened the verb by taking out "is, "a static word that does little to move the reader forward. Other examples :"The committee made the decision to adjourn" vs. "The committee decided to adjourn"; "I came to the conclusion he was right" vs. "I concluded he was right.
