Find an expression, which is the and of clauses, equivalent to $( p \lor q) \to r$ .

I have to do the following problem :

Find an expression, which is the and of clauses, equivalent to $$( p \lor q) \to r$$.

But I don't understand what ''which is the and of clauses'' means.

(I am doing the class in french but the book is in English, so maybe I've seen this expression in french but never translated to English)

So, your exercise asks for a conjunction of clauses, also known as conjunctive normal form, that is logically equivalent to $$(p \lor q) \to r$$. Using well-known logical equivalences, you get:
\begin{align} (p \lor q) \to r &\equiv \lnot (p \lor q) \lor r &\text{by decomposition of \to} \\ &\equiv (\lnot p \land \lnot q) \lor r &\text{by De Morgan law} \\ &\equiv (\lnot p \lor r) \land (\lnot q \lor r) &\text{by distributivity of \lor over \land} \end{align}
where $$(\lnot p \lor r) \land (\lnot q \lor r)$$ is the formula you are looking for because it is a conjunctive normal form (since it is a conjunction of the literals $$\lnot p \lor r$$ and $$\lnot q \lor r$$) and it is logically equivalent to $$(p \lor q) \to r$$ (since it is obtained by substitution of logically equivalent sub-formulas).
