Cultural Tip
In French business writing, the imperative is often softened with ‘merci de’ or ‘veuillez’ to sound more polite: ‘Veuillez rassembler tous les documents…’. However, in spoken instructions among teammates, the plain imperative is perfectly acceptable and conveys urgency. Remember that adjectives placed after a list of nouns adopt the masculine plural form, even if one of the nouns is feminine.
