Questions & Answers about Grâce à toi, je finis mon travail.
Why do we use grâce à here instead of merci?
Merci is an exclamation used to directly thank someone, like saying "Thank you!". When you want to say that an event happened "thanks to" someone or something, meaning they are the positive cause of it, you use the phrase grâce à.
Could I use pour here and say pour toi instead?
Why does the sentence use toi instead of tu for "you"?
Tu is a subject pronoun, used only when "you" are doing the action (like in tu finis). After small connecting words called prepositions, like à, pour, or avec, French requires you to use "stressed pronouns". The stressed pronoun for "you" is toi.
Why does finis end with an "s"?
The verb finir (to finish) is a regular verb that ends in -ir. To make it match je (I) in the present tense, you drop the -ir ending and add -is. This makes je finis.
