You are (plural, formal) in French 🇫🇷

vous êtes info.

Tips to remember:
– “Vous” resembles the word “you” and is used for formal or plural in French, so you can think of “vous” as the respectful or group “you.”
– “Êtes” sounds a bit like “are,” the English equivalent of the verb “to be” for “you are.” Just remember that “êtes” is the form paired with “vous.”

Explanations:
– “Vous êtes” specifically means “you are” when addressing either a group of people or a single person in a formal context.
– In French, subject pronouns and verb conjugations must agree, and “êtes” is the second person plural conjugation of the verb “être” (to be).

Other words that mean the same thing:
– In an informal setting, when speaking to a single individual, you would use “tu es” instead of “vous êtes”.
– There’s an archaic form “Vous soyez” used in very formal or literary contexts, typically found in subjunctive mood.

Different conjugations of “être”:
– Present: vous êtes (you are)
– Past (Passé Composé): vous avez été (you have been)
– Imperfect: vous étiez (you were)
– Future: vous serez (you will be)
– Conditional: vous seriez (you would be)
– Subjunctive Present: que vous soyez (that you be)
– Subjunctive Imperfect: que vous fussiez (that you were)
– Imperative: Soyez (Be! as in “be quiet!” or “be happy!”)

Examples of sentences using “vous êtes”:
– Vous êtes les bienvenus chez moi. (You are welcome in my home.)
– Vous êtes médecins, c’est exact? (You are doctors, is that correct?)
– Pensez-vous que vous êtes prêts pour le test ? (Do you think you are ready for the test?)
– Vous êtes en avance pour la réunion. (You are early for the meeting.)
