Common Mistakes

  • Oublie pas de prendre ton traitement comme prescrit, tous les jours.

    The negative imperative requires the "ne" particle, even if it is often contracted in speech.

  • N'oublie pas de prendre ton traitement comme prescrit, tous, les jours.

    The adverbial phrase "tous les jours" should stay together; separating it can sound unnatural.

Alternatives

  • Assure-toi de prendre ton médicament chaque jour comme indiqué.

    Make sure you take your medicine each day as indicated.

  • Prends ton traitement tous les jours, comme le médecin l'a recommandé.

    Take your treatment every day, as the doctor recommended.

  • N'oublie pas de suivre le traitement prescrit quotidiennement.

    Don't forget to follow the prescribed treatment daily.

Cultural Tip

In French medical conversations, "traitement" and "prescrit" are formal terms used by health professionals. In everyday speech, people often say "médicament" or "pilule". The negative imperative "N'oublie pas" is polite yet firm, making it suitable for both close friends and more formal contexts like a nurse reminding a patient.
