Key learning points
- Using the imperative in conversation enables the speaker to give instructions and advice, or to make suggestions.
- In a role-play it's important to work out whether you will be addressed as ‘vous’ (formal) or ‘tu’ (informal).
- You need to use the correct 'please': 's'il vous plait' in a formal setting, and 's'il te plait' for a friend.
Keywords
Imperative - a mood used to tell somebody to do something or give instructions or commands
Role-play - a task with a situation and prompts to ask and answer questions, simulating a conversation
Common misconception
When making suggestions, 'let's' needs to be said in French as a separate idea.
In French, use the imperative in the 'nous' form to create the phrase 'let's + verb', e.g. 'allons ...' means 'let's go ...'.
Equipment
Mini whiteboard and pen, plus pen and paper are useful, if available.
