J'ai essayé d'ouvrir la porte.
"close the door, open the door" = fermer la porte, ouvrir la porteune porte fermée : a closed dooruneporte ouverte : an open door
a essayé is tried in French language. This means to make an attempt in French.
The front door is "la porte de devant" in French.
J'ai essayé
"le porte-Ã -porte"
with the button that say open
une porte
nous avons essayé
you can say OPEN SUNDAY : ouvert le dimanche
You say "OPEN DOOR OF EVIL AND BRING ON THE DANCING CHUNKS"
If the door is shut then it's probably the switch in that door or wiring to it.
ferme la porte
