Commands With Vous

If you carefully followed the first lesson in this chapter, you have probably noticed that all the verbs end in -ez.

Christine and Marcel, regardez le tableau.   Christine and Marcel, look at the board.

Levez la main, s’il vous plait.   Raise your hand, please.

What are commands?
Commands are verbs forms that are used with no subject pronoun to tell or ask somebody to do something.

Why is the word vous sometimes attached are the verbs, (as in “Levez-vous” )?
Such verbs are called reflexive verbs. I will cover this topic in Chapter Two.

That’s it for the grammatical component of this lesson. If you have any questions and/or comments about what I just explained, or if you need more explanation on the subject, just post a comment and I will be more than happy to help. Merci!
