French Phrase
Tu recevras une confirmation.
Meaning
The sentence means ‘You will receive a confirmation.’ It refers to a future event where the listener is told they can expect some form of acknowledgment—often an email, a letter, or a notification.
When to use
Use this phrase when you want to reassure someone that a confirmation (e.g., of a reservation, an order, or a registration) will be sent to them later. It is informal, so reserve it for people you address with ‘tu’. In a business or formal setting, switch to the plural/formal ‘vous’.

‘Recevrez’ is the future form for ‘vous’, not ‘tu’. Use ‘recevras’ with ‘tu’.
Tu recevras un confirmation.
‘Confirmation’ is feminine; the correct article is ‘une’.
Tu reçois une confirmation.
‘Reçois’ is present tense; the sentence talks about a future event, so the future simple ‘recevras’ is needed.

Cultural Tip
In French, the choice between ‘tu’ and ‘vous’ signals the level of familiarity. ‘Tu’ is appropriate with friends, family, or peers, but in most professional or customer‑service contexts you should use ‘vous’ to stay polite. Also, French emails often end with a short confirmation sentence like ‘Vous recevrez une confirmation sous peu.’ to reassure the recipient.
