Vous disputer ?

Vous disputer ?

Why is 'disputer' not conjugated here ? Also, is 'vous' reflexive here ?

Hi Stephanie, 

The sentence is -

Peut-être si vous arrêtez de vous disputer = Perhaps, if you stop arguing/quarelling 

1. The verb 'se disputer' is reflexive  so yes the 'vous' is a reflexive pronoun

2. It is in the infinitive because it follows the verb 's'arrêter de faire quelque chose' ( to stop doing something)

J'ai arrêté de me disputer avec ma sœur = I have stopped arguing with my sister 

Ils ont arrêté de se disputer avec leurs voisins They have stopped arguing with their neighbours

 

Hope this helps !

If you quote the entire sentence in question I may be able to help. Otherwise I'd have to go snooping and listen to the entire exercise to discover what you're referring to.
