Instructions to Several People or Polite You

Level 2

Plural imperative forms address several people or one person politely.

How It Works

Plural imperative forms address several people or one person politely.

Common perfective forms end in -τε, as in γράψτε. The precise stem must be learned; a polite instruction still needs an appropriate tone and context.
