Questions & Answers about Relis ce paragraphe avant de l’envoyer.

Why is Relis used here instead of Lis?

Because relire means to read again / to reread, while lire just means to read.

• lis = read
• relis = read again / reread

So Relis ce paragraphe means Reread this paragraph.

Also, Relis is the tu imperative form of relire.

Why is there no subject pronoun before Relis?

This is because the sentence is a command. In French, the imperative normally leaves out the subject pronoun.

Compare:

• Tu relis ce paragraphe. = You reread this paragraph.
• Relis ce paragraphe. = Reread this paragraph.

So French does not say Tu relis ! when giving a normal command.

Why does Relis end in -s?
