Why is it Allez when it is followed by the tu form of the verb? Why isn’t it Va?
This is a question of the usage of French definite article “le”. I have encountered following two French sentences:
(1) Il faut que vous puissiez parler français avant d’aller en France.
(2) Pour apprandre le français, il faut que vous regardiez des films français.
As can be seen from these two sentences, you can notice that the phrase “ …parler français…”in the sentence (1) appears without the French definite article of “le”, but that the phrase “…apprandre le français…” in the sentence (2) appears with the French definite article of “le”.
Why doesn’t the definite article of “le” need in the sentence (1)? And why does the definite article of “le” need in the sentence (2)?

Bonjour, j'ai répondu à une question où je devais transformer l'affirmation suivante "Marie vient demain" en une question en utilisant ''n'est-ce pas ?".
