Perdre - 2nd person present

Could not the translation for "You lose" be "Vous perde" as well as "Vous perdez"?

Maarten K.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

No. < Vous perdez > is the only correct conjugation for vous with perdre in the present tense of the indicative mood. 

You may be confusing the situation of < vous > being used in the singular polite form in compound tenses, in which case past participle agreement of number and gender can occur in specific situations.
