Mettrez

Mettrez is the second-person plural future simple form of the French verb mettre, meaning to put, place, or set. It is used to indicate that the subject you (plural or a formal singular you) will perform the action in the future.

Etymology and form: The verb mettre comes from Latin mittere and has developed through Old French into modern French. In the future tense, the stem shifts to mettr- and the endings for the simple future are added, yielding forms such as je mettrai, tu mettras, il mettra, nous mettrons, vous mettrez, ils mettront. The form mettrez specifically marks the vous form in the future.

Conjugation considerations: In addition to mettrez, the verb mettre has a distinct set of forms in other tenses. For example, the present tense forms include je mets, tu mets, il met, nous mettons, vous mettez, ils mettent. The irregularity of mettre lies mainly in its stem changes across tenses, especially in the future and conditional.

Usage examples: Mettrez is commonly used in planning or instructions to describe future placement or action. Examples include: Vous mettrez les documents sur le bureau demain. Cela signifie que vous placerez les documents sur le bureau dans le futur. Vous mettrez en place une nouvelle procédure dès la semaine prochaine. Such constructions are typical in schedules, directives, and descriptive narrations.

Related forms: The verb is often paired with prefixes or expressions to form common phrases, such as mettre en place, mettre dans, or remettre, each with its own nuance. Mettrez is a regular member of this verb family, which centers on the idea of placing or arranging something in a given context.
