L'impératif The imperative is used to give commands, offer suggestions, give advice, etc. Unlike other sentences, there is no subject pronoun in the imperative form. The imperative has three forms: A. Used to address more than one person, or to address one person formally: this uses the vous form of the verb. Affirmative e.g. Negative Fermez la porte! Ne fermez pas la porte! Faites attention! Ne faites pas la cuisine maintenant! B. Used to address one person (informally). This uses the tu form of the verb, except with er verbs, the -s of the tu form is dropped. Affirmative e.g. Negative Ferme la porte! Ne ferme pas la porte! Fais attention! Ne fais pas la cuisine maintenant! C. The nous form of a verb is also an imperative form, and it means “Let's...!” e.g. Affirmative Donnons un cadeau à Mme. Lambert! Negative N'oublions pas qu'il y a examen demain! Let's give a present to Mme. Lambert! Let's not forget that there's a test tomorrow! Note The imperative forms of être are irregular: sois, soyez, soyons e.g. Sois un homme! Be a man! Ne soyons pas méchants! Let's not be mean! * The imperative forms of avoir are irregular: aie, ayez, ayons e.g. Ayez pitié! Have pity!
