Which two forms are used when using imperatives?
There are two often-used forms of the French imperative, and these correspond to tu and vous.
The third form nous is only being used sometimes, and it works the same way we say “let’s” in English.
How is the TU form used with imperatives?
Note: In the tu form of -er verbs, the last -S is dropped (i.e. donnE instead of donneS).
DonnE-moi ça! (Give me that!) /pas donneS
When tu is followed by EN or Y, the -S remains to make it easier to pronounce.
Vas-y! Which means “Go on!”
Donnes-en à ton frère. Which means “Give some to your brother.”
