Impératif (2e pers. sing.)
‘Trouve’ and ‘ajoute‑la’ are the affirmative imperative forms of ‘trouver’ and ‘ajouter’. The subject pronoun ‘tu’ is omitted.
Possessive adjective
‘ta’ agrees with the feminine noun ‘taille’; use ‘votre’ for a formal or plural address.
Direct‑object pronoun attached to the verb
In the affirmative imperative, the pronoun follows the verb and is linked with a hyphen: ‘ajoute‑la’ (add it).
Preposition ‘au’ = à + le
‘au panier’ literally means ‘to the cart’; in UI language French often uses ‘au panier’ rather than ‘dans le panier’.

✕Common Mistakes
Trouve ta taille et ajoute‑le au panier.
‘taille’ is feminine, so the correct pronoun is ‘la’. Using ‘le’ would be grammatically incorrect.
Trouve ta taille et ajoute‑la au panier.
In a formal context or when speaking to a group, use ‘votre taille’ instead of ‘ta taille’.
Trouve ta taille et ajoute‑la dans le panier.
While ‘au panier’ is the usual UI phrasing, some learners mistakenly use ‘dans le panier’, which is acceptable but sounds less like standard e‑commerce copy.

Cultural Tip
In French online shopping, the word ‘panier’ (basket) is the standard term for the virtual shopping cart. The imperative tone is common in UI copy because it feels direct and helpful. Remember to match the gender of the pronoun to the noun it replaces – ‘taille’ is feminine, so the pronoun is ‘la’, not ‘le’. For a more formal interface, replace ‘ta’ with ‘votre’.
