It is nice to do what you are told, so recognising signs is fairly important. Défense de, il est défendu du, il est interdit de, and interdiction de all mean you can’t do something. Il est interdit de cracher sur la pelouse is one of my memories of a trip to Versailles as a teenager. I wasn’t even thinking of spitting on the lawn, and it is not a sign that I have seen in England.
You can also be told that you have to do something. The easiest way of telling someone is just saying the sentence. Vous tournez à droite. You can also say vous devez tourner à droite if you have to do it or il faut tourner à droite.
A bientôt
About Me
- Michael Gradwell
- I enjoy languages and music and for many years I played folk and classical guitar. I still do, but in recent years the ukulele has been the instrument that I have played the most. I now have an eight-string and a four-string tenor, a concert, a soprano and even a tiny piccolo ukulele. I have many other interests, including a lifelong interest in politics, and because of this I have several blogs, including politics for novices. If you came to this page from one of my blogs and don't know about the others, you may like to check them out. Please feel free to comment on any of the blogs - let me know what you think!
