Bonjour à tous:  Je me demande que j'arrive à utiliser une autre phrase: . Je sais que je dois utiliser la première phrase.  C'est possible d'utiliser la deuxième phrase?

Note that when "grand(e)" is used to describe people, different rules apply:

– un grand homme = a great man

– un homme grand = a tall man

I haven't yet found this distinction set out on Kwiziq, but on lawlessfrench.com we can compare the different treatment as between things and people on these two pages:

In Latin and English a future active indicative sometimes acts as an imperative command, like "Thou shalt not steal." I'm curious if there is any parallel to this in French? Thank you!

The question was:  "- Nous ?" "- Non, pas ________ !"

The correct response was "vous". Why is "toi" incorrect?

feelings at the time....why am I wrong?
