Questions & Answers about Tu progresses vite en français.

Why is there an s at the end of progresses even though I’m talking to one person?

In French, the second-person singular of regular –ER verbs in the present tense ends in –es. That final s is silent, so tu progresses and il/elle progresse sound the same, even though the spellings differ.

How do I pronounce progresses? Should I pronounce the final s?

You pronounce progresses [pʁɔ.ɡʁɛs]. The final –es is silent. If a vowel followed, you might link it with a liaison and hear a /z/, but here there’s no liaison, so the ending remains mute.

Why is vite used instead of rapidement?

Vite is the common, more conversational adverb for “quickly.” Rapidement is also correct but feels more formal or literary. In everyday speech you’ll hear vite much more often.

Where does vite go in the sentence? Could I say Tu progresses en français vite?

Adverbs of manner like vite normally follow the conjugated verb. Since en français is a prepositional complement, the natural order is tu progresses vite en français. Putting vite at the very end (…en français vite) sounds awkward.
