Imperatives en francais
Whats the difference between:
Suis-moi (Would you use this if you are asking 1 person to follow you?)
suivons-moi
suivez-moi (would you use this one to ask a group of people i.e. more than 1 person to follow you?)
I don't understand how to use imperatives. Can someone please explain to me how to use them correctly.
I have consulted my grammar book but I'm still having difficulty. Thanks

Bonjour, hello,
You can't say "Suivons-moi". This form doesn't exist and is grammatically incorrect.
You can say "suis-moi" to somebody you know well (a friend,etc.) Informal form. (= TU me suis.)
You can say "suivez-moi" to a group of persons OR to a single person you don't know well. Formal form.(= VOUS me suivez.)
I hope I could have helped you.
Sincerely.

Trois pages de grammaire du même site ou l'impératif est bien expliqué:

Si tu as encore des questions après-cela n'hésite pas! (pas de s car impératif).

Suivons-moi n'est pas possible puisque le nous (nous suivons) t'inclus tu ne peux pas te suivre !!!
Suis-moi (pour une personne)
Suivez-moi (pour une personne vouvoiement, ou pour plusieurs personnes)
