✕Common Mistakes
Quel genre de réunion vous prévu ?
‘prévu’ is the past participle; you need the present verb ‘prévoyez’ for a current plan.
Quel genre de réunion tu prévoyez ?
Mixing ‘tu’ with the verb form ‘prévoyez’ (2nd‑person plural) is inconsistent. Use ‘tu prévois’ or keep ‘vous prévoyez’.
Quel genre de réunion vous prévoyez‑t‑il ?
The pronoun ‘il’ does not match the subject ‘vous’; the correct form is simply ‘vous prévoyez’ or ‘prévoit‑il’ if the subject is ‘il’.

Cultural Tip
In French business culture, using ‘vous’ signals politeness and a degree of formality. When speaking to a colleague you know well, you may switch to ‘tu’, but keep ‘vous’ in written invitations or when addressing a client.
