Questions & Answers about Voici le modèle, est-ce que tu vas le dessiner ?
Why does le come right before dessiner instead of before vas?
When you have a conjugated verb (vas) followed by an infinitive verb (dessiner), the object pronoun goes immediately before the infinitive. So, to say "going to draw it", you put the le right before the action it belongs to: tu vas le dessiner.
Does the le in le dessiner mean "him"?
Here, it means "it". Le is the direct object pronoun for masculine singular nouns. Because it refers back to le modèle (a masculine noun), we use le to say "draw it".
Could I use Voilà instead of Voici here?
How does tu vas dessiner translate to "are you going to draw"?
This sentence uses the near future tense. It is built by taking the conjugated verb aller (here, tu vas meaning "you are going") and adding an infinitive verb (dessiner meaning "to draw"). Together, they mean "you are going to draw".
