I still don’t get it
This question relates to:French lesson "Saying your name with Je m'appelle/Tu t'appelles/Vous vous appelez"
Asked 6 years ago

Hi Ryan,
The verb 'appeler quelqu'un' is not reflexive when it means to call someone, unlike 's'appeler' which is 'to be called'.
Appelez Marie tout de suite!= Call Marie straight away!
Appelez in this instance is the Imperative 'vous' form of the verb 'Appeler'.
Hope this helps!

When the subject is 2nd person plural (vous), the verb form is appelez.
