Questions & Answers about Ne te penche pas par la fenêtre, c'est dangereux !
Why is it te penche here, instead of penche-toi?
Why is there no "s" at the end of penche, since it's an "-er" verb used with the "tu" form?
In the imperative (command) form, regular -er verbs lose their final -s for the tu form. So, while you would say tu te penches (you lean) in a normal sentence, the command drops the "s" to become just ne te penche pas.
Why does the sentence use par (by/through) to mean "out"?
Why do we use c'est dangereux instead of il est dangereux?
