✕Common Mistakes
Contactez ton fournisseur de services.
‘Contactez’ is the formal/plural imperative; it doesn’t match the informal ‘ton’. Use ‘Contacte’ with ‘ton’.
Contacte ton fournisseur des services.
The correct preposition is ‘de’, not ‘des’, because it specifies the type of provider.
Contacte votre fournisseur de services.
When speaking formally, replace ‘ton’ with ‘votre’. Mixing informal ‘ton’ with a formal tone sounds inconsistent.

‘Ton’ makes the sentence informal. In a formal or professional context you would say ‘Contactez votre fournisseur de services.’ Also, French speakers often use the word ‘opérateur’ for telecom providers, e.g., ‘Contacte ton opérateur.’
