Who is the The Imperative (French) poster for?

When should you use the The Imperative (French) poster?
The -er verb tu form drops its s: parle, not parles. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so The Imperative (French) belongs on the wall where that languages work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with The Imperative (French)?

Yes. The Imperative (French) downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Languages section.

What size does the The Imperative (French) poster print at?
The Imperative (French) is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.
