Fascinating Fact:

Ouvrez vos livres means “Open your books”, Fermez vos livres means “Close your books”.

Key Terms

Imperative: A verb form used to give an instruction, for example “Listen” or “Repeat”.
Formal “vous”: The polite or plural way to say “you”, often used by teachers when giving class directions.
Command phrase: A short instruction used in lessons, usually with a clear verb at the start to show what to do.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you give classroom instructions in French for GCSE?

Classroom instructions in GCSE French usually use the imperative, such as “Écoutez” (listen), “Répétez” (repeat), or “Regardez” (look). Teachers often use “vous” to be polite or to address the whole class.

What is the imperative in French and why does it matter?

The imperative in French is a verb form used to tell someone what to do, like “Parlez” (speak) or “Écrivez” (write). It matters because instructions in listening exams and classroom tasks often rely on it.

How can I get faster at understanding French instructions in listening?

Get faster by learning common instruction verbs and practising them in short clips or quick drills. Focus on the first word, as it usually signals the action, for example “Travaillez” (work) or “Choisissez” (choose).
