Questions & Answers about Nous prenons rendez-vous pour demain.
Why is it prenons and what happened to the 'd' from prendre?
Prenons is the we (nous) form of the verb prendre. Notice that the 'd' you see in the dictionary form (prendre) or the singular forms (like il prend) disappears completely in the nous and vous forms. We write and say nous prenons without a 'd'. The English translation says "making an appointment", but doesn't prendre mean "to take"?
Yes, exactly! In French, you don't "make" an appointment, you "take" one. The set phrase is prendre rendez-vous. You will see prendre used in many expressions where English uses a different verb, like having a meal or making a decision. Why isn't there a word for "an" before rendez-vous?
While you can say prendre un rendez-vous, it is much more common to drop the article and just say prendre rendez-vous. French often drops words like un or le in fixed everyday expressions. Can I use pour with other days of the week?
Yes! Just as pour demain means "for tomorrow", you can use pour to schedule things for other times, like pour lundi (for Monday) or pour ce soir (for tonight). Learn Nous prenons rendez-vous pour demain and more in French
