How to form an imperative from er verbs 
Take off the r, add z
What are the adjectives that come infront of the nouns:
B.R.A.G.S - beauty, rank, age, goodness, size
How to use direct object pronouns: 
Replace nouns
For objects: use le, la, les, l' after subject (je, tu, il, etc) to mean 'it'.
For people: use me, tu, vous, le, la, nous and les after the subject to say me, you, him, her, us, them.
After prepositions, pronouns change:
Me - moi
You - toi
Them(f) - elles
Her - elle
Him - lui
Them (m) - eux
Us - nous
You - vous
For example:
Chez toi - at your house
Avec lui - With him
To talk about yourself in relation to another person when using reflexive pronouns, follow with avec, de or à 
They love eachother - ils s'aiment.
To look after - s'occuper de.
To get on well with - s'entendre bien avec.
To be interested in - s'interésser à.
To confide in - se confier à.
To get angry with - se fâcher contre.
To argue - se disputer.
