Talk:prendre sur le fait

I don't know about the French, but in Italian we recently migrated entries like cogliere sul fatto, cogliere con le mani nel sacco, etc. to sul fatto, con le mani nel sacco, etc. The main rationale was that other verbs could precede the constructions ("prendere," "pescare," etc.). Is that the case for French? Imetsia (talk) 02:43, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I think is overwhelmingly used with, which is the only verb that sounds idiomatic to me here. Other verbs are attested (I've found occurrences of , ), but these uses seem marginal to me. For that reason I'm not keen on moving the entry, though  could probably be created. PUC – 18:08, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
