Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

how can we help

iron marsh
#

hi

#

i have 2 chapters to do

#

please teach me

#

its imperative verbs

#

and some other stuff

brazen herald
#

Hey there.
So first off, please don't use all caps; it's aggressive and makes it seem like you're yelling.
As far as helping you on an exam is concerned, you'll need to ask specific questions, we can't just "teach you"
And lastly, if your exam's tomorrow, there's very little we can do, the time to study was over the past few weeks. The best thing you can do now is make sure you get a good night's sleep.

iron marsh
#

not a good nights sleep

#

this is like saying, you're gonna die! sleep well

#

i need to learn

#

please!

#

how do i learn

#

imperatives

#

tenses

sterile sapphire
#

we drop the subject (tu/nous/vous)

#

and for tu we drop the S

#

it is commanding

iron marsh
#

for nous and vous?

sterile sapphire
#

no only tu

#

so lets say manger

#

its like saying "eat up!!"

#

mange!!

#

mangez!!

#

mangeons!!

iron marsh
#

ohh

#

thats so easy

#

but what about

#

the more thing in imperatives

sterile sapphire
#

?

iron marsh
#

whats a direct object pronoun

sterile sapphire
#

le/la/les

#

i refer to this thing directly

#

je le mange

#

i eat it

iron marsh
#

what does

#

that do

#

for like

#

dirject object

#

oh so

#

le la les

#

is for a direct thing

#

like i directly ate chocolate

#

i ate it

sterile sapphire
#

yes

iron marsh
#

wait thats it?

sterile sapphire
#

but if it is à

#

if its person its lui

#

if its a place its y

#

if its de its en

kindred needle
#

(Those are indirect object pronouns, because the verb doesn't take the object directly)

sterile sapphire
#

but like i talk TO him

iron marsh
sterile sapphire
#

thats je parle à lui

#

je lui parle

iron marsh
#

oo

iron marsh
sterile sapphire
#

you cant force that shit

iron marsh
#

oh no

#

well

#

anytrick for learning verbs quick

candid stirrup
#

same thing, you can't force it

glass yew
#

Man just wants some cheat codes like learning a language is gtaV

#

This server isn't for people who need emergency help for exams, this is your problem

iron marsh
iron marsh
#

it isnt a cheatcode either

#

just your imaginationkek

glass yew
#

Idk you just came here like "teach me that and that"

#

Sounded rude af

iron marsh
candid stirrup
#

I can't go up to my professor and go, 'Teach me!'

sterile sapphire
#

but in some extent this server works in a way that its voluntarily.

candid stirrup
sterile sapphire
#

like if u wanna teach them after their plead, we can 'help'

#

rather than teach yk

candid stirrup
#

I'm here on a voluntary basis; I am not paid nor in any way compensated for my troubles in this server. None of us are obligated to answer so to go in saying, 'Please teach me X' well that depends on the kindheartedness of people in this server

sterile sapphire
#

exactly

#

all of us are too

#

if you deem they are being rude, or you dont wanna help, just ignore them :P, its voluntary anyways

candid stirrup
#

Right so OP coming in with all caps saying that they have an exam tomorrow and that they need help especially with such a general question (teach me imperative verbs please), it just seems impolite like what aspect of the imperative? its conjugation, how to use it, like what?

sterile sapphire
#

at the end of the day, if you a voluntary helper deem this help request rude, just ignore it. if you want to help, do help. its all up to you anyways

candid stirrup
# sterile sapphire i know study/learning servers, i guess users who use 'teach' are more like 'help...

Given that OP continued to be impolite when a native – as in someone who could really help them to learn – came in to say that it was their problem for not learning for an exam due the next day (a point illustrated well by Andy), I don't know if that makes it justifiable. Ultimately, it was Nired's problem and the exam was resolved with high marks anyway. I'm just looking at it as someone who's spent time contributing in this space with people who think that they can just come in and expect to be handed everything on a silver platter.

iron marsh
#

i mean it is for helping isnt it

#

it doesnt take that long

#

im not gonna be polite si much, if they wanna help me they can 💀

candid stirrup
# iron marsh itsnot rude or impolite to ask

It isn't rude, no, but it is rude to go, 'PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE AN EXAM TOMORROW' and 'please teach me'.
We aren't obligated to help you here, so formulating your questions clearly like, 'Hey, how do you conjugate and use the imperative tense?' is the best way to let people browsing this channel know the topic and the exact thing you're concerned about. Typing in all caps that you need help will just pull people away since we don't know what problem you're having. If someone comes in, willing to help, and as it turns out what you ask isn't something they know the solution to, it'd be both disappointing for you and for the helper.

si tu n'en veux pas bon

iron marsh
sterile sapphire
#

n'aidez lui pas alors

iron marsh
#

its just asking and i use caps to show the urgency

sterile sapphire
#

je l'ai aidé, n'importe quoi

iron marsh
#

and i did say thankyou

sterile sapphire
#

i agree the caps lock was rude

iron marsh
#

Its for the urgency

sterile sapphire
#

but at the end, yes this is not emergency

#

but who can actually help him

#

then help

#

if they want

#

and i wanted so i helped

iron marsh
#

ur all sensitive if u dont like the caps 🤔

sterile sapphire
#

you could;'ve asked urgency wihtout caps

#

"please help me with the imparative tense, i'm struggling, and i have an exam tomorrow"

#

would have been ideal

#

but honestly, i saw, i helped, alors quoi

iron marsh

# sterile sapphire mais enfin, si tu veux l'aider bon vas-y.

C'est pas une question de volonté mais celle de capacité. Si quelqu'un nous demandait de nous aider et qu'on apprenait que ce qu'il voulait demander était quelque chose auquel on pouvait pas répondre, ce serait une déception pour lui et pour nous.

sterile sapphire
#

enfin, si tu VEUX et PEUX l'aider, donc vas-y

candid stirrup
sterile sapphire
#

if you think its rude, don't answer, ignore, the mods will do the work if they think its ludicrous.

#

if you want to answer 'rude' questions, or 'urgent pleads' go ahead

#

there are people who WANT and CAN do so

#

like me.

#

i know it is their expectation for someone to respond, but at the end of the day, if no one responds its not our fault

#

and if someone does answer in time, well lucky them

candid stirrup
#

Bon, le problème est réglé donc il y a aucune raison d'en parler plus

sterile sapphire
#

bon

iron marsh
#

if yall are this sensitive you can just not answer

#

but tysm for the help

thiss helped
