montrer at A1 — the present tense

On this page
    « montrer » — jump to your level:A1A2B1B2C1C2Native

    Like « donner », showing needs a « à » before the person.

    Showing things

    montrer follows the same frame as donner: montrer quelque chose à quelqu’un. « Je montre les photos à mes parents. » The thing comes first, the person follows à.

    It is a plain regular -ER verb. The imperative montre-moi — show me — is one of the first useful commands you can build, and it works in almost any situation.
