Bonjour. I'm wondering if there is any easy way to know which meaning of agir is being used in a sentence. Also, are there any easy ways to remember the different meanings of agir / s'agir and when they can be used?
WordReference defines it as to act, behave, affect, be a question of [sth], be, be necessary to do, must.
Is there any reason why its use would be favored over être, falloir, or affecter? I've seen it in French news and books multiple times and it has stumped me each time because it seems to be used differently in each case. It is a difficult verb for me because of how varied the meanings can be.
Merci pour votre aide.
