Devoir (présent)

DEVOIR (to have to)

 
Singulier Pluriel
je dois nous devons
tu dois vous devez
il, elle, iel, on doit ils, elles doivent

NOTE ON CONJUGAISON: the stem changes to doi in the boot form.

NOTE ON USAGE: to convey the notion of an obligation or something necessary, use devoir along with a verb in the infinitive.

Exemple: Vous devez souvent pratiquer le français pour apprendre à le parler!

Another way to do this is with the impersonal expression il faut (it is necessary). More on this in section 6 of the Pressbook.
