Voilà
Even though voilà is just one word, it has so many possible meanings - most of which require multiple words in the English equivalents - that I treat it as an expression. This lesson has everything you need to know, voilà.

Word order with the imperative
The order of words in a French sentence can be very confusing due to negation and object and adverbial pronouns. Remember that there are two kinds of imperatives, affirmative and negative, and the word order is different for each of them.
