Usage Note
Ver covers earthworms (ver de terre), maggots, and grubs. The phrase ver solitaire means tapeworm. Note the near-homophones: verre (glass), vert (green), and vers (towards / verse) — all pronounced similarly; context and spelling are key.
Examples
"Les vers aèrent la terre du jardin."
Natural Translation
Worms aerate the garden soil.
