✕Common Mistakes
Remplir un bordereau de dépôt, s'il te plaît.
The infinitive *remplir* cannot be used for a direct request; you need the imperative *remplis* (or *remplissez* for formal).
Remplis un bordereau de dépôt, s'il vous plaît.
Using the formal *vous* with the informal *te* creates a register mismatch.
Remplis un bordereau du dépôt, s'il te plaît.
The correct preposition is *de*, not *du*, because *dépôt* is a noun, not a specific location.

Cultural Tip
In French-speaking countries, *bordereau de dépôt* is the standard term for the paper form used when depositing cash or checks. Banks often provide the slip on a tray; handing it back with a smile is considered courteous. Remember to match the level of formality: *s'il te plaît* for friends or familiar staff, *s'il vous plaît* for strangers or senior staff.
