Questions & Answers about Tu écris et tu tapes très vite.
Since écrire is an irregular verb, how do we get the form écris?
Écrire (to write) is highly irregular. To form the present tense for the singular pronouns (je, tu, il/elle/on), you drop the -re and add the endings -s, -s, -t. So for tu, you add an -s to get tu écris. It does not follow the normal pattern for regular -re verbs!
Can I skip the second tu and just say Tu écris et tapes très vite?
In English, we often drop the second subject and say 'You write and type...'. While you might occasionally see that in written French, it is much more common and natural in spoken French to repeat the subject pronoun (tu) before every conjugated verb.
Does the verb taper always mean 'to type'?
Why is it très vite instead of très rapide?
