Questions & Answers about Vous écrivez un paragraphe très intéressant !

How do you conjugate the verb écrire (to write), and where does the "v" in écrivez come from?
Écrire is an irregular verb. In the singular forms, it uses its base spelling: j'écris, tu écris, il/elle écrit. However, for the plural forms, it adds a "v" to the stem: nous écrivons, vous écrivez, ils/elles écrivent.
Should I pronounce the "s" at the end of vous in this sentence?
Yes! Because écrivez starts with a vowel, you must make a liaison. The "s" in vous connects to the verb and is pronounced like a "z" sound (voo-zeh-kree-vay).
Why does intéressant come after paragraphe instead of before it?
In French, most adjectives go right after the noun they describe. Only a few specific, common adjectives (usually describing Beauty, Age, Number, Goodness, or Size) go before the noun. Since intéressant doesn't fit that special group, it follows the normal rule and goes after paragraphe.
The word paragraphe ends in an "e". Doesn't that usually mean it's feminine?
Not always! While an "e" at the end is a common hint for feminine words, paragraphe is actually masculine. That's why the sentence uses un instead of une. It is a good reminder to always memorize the gender along with a new noun.
