ABOUT GÉRALDINE
Hi! I’m Géraldine Lepère, the founder of Comme une Française (= “Like a French woman”) and your new French best friend. :)
Each Tuesday, I share a fun, fresh and bite-sized lesson on French language and French culture-from embarrassing mistakes to avoid to pop-cultural references to “get” !
For over five years now, with millions of views and students in over 56 countries, I’ve been helping people just like you gain the confidence to really talk in French. And better than the “textbook” French from high school!

If anyone says I speak like a French woman, I’m gonna say thank you. Geraldine taught me.

[@teatimeplease]

I missed the day we went over l'impératif in class, and this video saved me before an exam. Merci beaucoup!!

[@fernandabravo3343]

I’d love it if you made french-only videos for intermediate/advanced learners

[@jeffreymerrick4297]

In case you want to know the exceptions in the imperative that she skipped, here is a summary: 1. A small number of third group verbs are conjugated like -er verbs in the present. For example, ouvrir (to open): J'ouvre, tu ouvres, il ouvre, etc. With such verbs, the final 's' is dropped in the imperative, so you would tell a child "Ouvre la bouche." In other words, if it behaves like an -er verb in the present, it behaves like an -er verb in the imperative. 2. Second: Aller is an irregular verb, but it still drops the 's': Tu vas => Va. 3. You put the 's' back in if the imperative is followed by a pronoun that begins with a vowel sound so the resulting group of words is easier to pronounce. Eg. Vas-y sans moi, je suis fatigué. Tu as des difficultés à comprendre? Parles-en au professeur.

[@awaeyo4187]

Thanks Jeffrey, you are far too kind. You should consider teaching French if you haven't already begun.

[@rsavitri]

Ah merci beaucoup. I was questioning the same thing with verbe-IR.

Salut Géraldine. Merci pour cette vidéo différentiée que j'ai pu utiliser dans ma class multi-niveaux. C'est intéressant de voir comment approcher la grammaire de divers angles (de débutant à plus avancé).

fasses tes exercises! is this correct?

[@coumbamakadji7719]

It is not because you based your verb on the subjcontif instead of thé indicatif. The correct answer is « Fais tes exercices » ✨
