Tu as un accent. Tu es Anglais ?
Tu travailles en France ?
Every time you talk to someone, you'll need to know whether it's appropriate to call them tu or vous.
You use tu (sometimes called the 'informal you') for people you'd be on first-name terms with, and vous in more 'formal' situations, for example with people you would normally call Monsieur, Madame, or Mademoiselle.
When you address someone as tu or vous it will be shown in various other words in the sentence, for example the verb endings.
You always use vous when talking to more than one person, even if you'd call them tu individually.
Tu as un accent. Tu es anglais ? Vous avez un accent. Vous êtes anglais ? You have an accent. Are you English?
Salut Pierre. Tu vas bien ? Hi Pierre. You OK?
Eh! Pierre! François ! Vous allez bien ? Hey Pierre! François! You OK?
Now practise using the tu and vous forms. Drag the correct verb into the gap to complete the sentences.
