Entree
Hello,
could you please tell me how to use "entree" in a sentence?
I had the soup as an entree/for my entree/for the entree/for entree ...
Normally you say: "for the breakfast", "as a starter".
Thank you

In American English, the entrée (sometimes with the accent, sometimes without) is the main dish , as opposed to the French custom of making it the "entrance" piece of the meal. As for sentences: I chose the roast duck as/for the entrée. As a starter can be used as appetizer, salad (in US it's before the entrée), etc.

A French restaurant:
Waiter: Our choices of entree this evening are Seared Sonoma Foie Gras, Alba White Truffle Souffle, Insalata Primavera, and Ahi Tuna Vinaigrette.
Patron: For my entree, I would like the Truffle Souffle. What wine do you recommend?

I read: "An entree is a dish served AS the main course of a meal." So with a little extrapolation perhaps one may reasonably state,"a dish served AS the entree." And from this perhaps one could further justify the structure: "I had the soup AS the entree." Also consider this: "as the starter (dish)", "as the main dish"--- thus," as the entree."

Philip, you wrote "I chose the roast duck ...", using the definite article. Does it mean that when I order my food in a restaurant I need to use "the"? Should I say: "I will have the roast duct" or "I will have a roast duck"?

I will have the roast duck. (I will have the menu item "roast duck." This probably means some slices of duck meat with a sauce or gravy. The menu will describe the entree, like these:
Canard à l’Orange: Half of a Roasted Duck with a Bigarade Sauce, Lenti
