L'impératif (les règles + irrégulier) Flashcards

1
Q

The impératif only uses 3 subjects:

A
  • Tu
    -Vous
    -Nous

But these subject pronouns are never used (just the conjugated verb).

**Note also: the “nous” version isn’t a command. It’s a suggestion. Something akin to “let’s” in English. —Let’s ____? Shall we ______?

Q

There are only 4 irregular verbs in the impératif:

A

Être –> Sois, soyons, soyez.
Avoir–> Aie, ayons, ayez
Savoir –> Sache, sachons, sachez
Vouloir –> Veuille, veuillons, veuillez

(Note: these are all extremely similarly, if not identical, to the relevant tu, nous, and vous forms of these verbs in the subjonctif).
