French, imperative, "vous n'inquietez pas"... Is this correct for "don't worry", polite form?

Question

Would " vous n'inquietez pas" be correct?

If not, please explain why and the grammar rules involved.
We haven't formally been taught the imperative yet at college, but I do know simple, positive imperative constructions, montrez-moi, dites-moi, etc...

Je remercie beaucoup votre aide... Merci =D

Answer 1

No, it's not. You have to say "ne vous inquiétez pas".



You are using the imperative tense to command something. Therefore, you don't use any subject. However, you use "vous" because "to worry" translates to "s'inquiéter", which is a reflexive verb, which requires a reflexive pronoun. And since "vous" is used as a reflexive pronoun only, you put it after the negation mark (ne).



Edit:

Montrez-moi ... Ne me montrez pas

Dites-moi ... Ne me dites pas

Answer 2

French Imperative Tense

Answer 3

s'inquieter uses reflexives, to say you're not worrying it would be

Vous ne vous inquietez pas.

But to say don't worry, that's a command, and with commands you drop the subject, so it's

ne vous inquietez pas.
