Questions & Answers about Donne ce livre à ton frère.
Wait, doesn't the present tense tu form of regular -er verbs usually end in an s? Why is it Donne instead of Donnes?
Good eye! Normally, the present tense is tu donnes (you give). However, when giving commands (the imperative mood), regular -er verbs drop that final s for the tu form. So, it becomes just Donne.
Could I say Donnez instead of Donne here?
How do I know whether to use ce, cet, or cette for this?
If I am telling a female friend to give the book to her brother, would it still be ton frère?
