Question

- j'ai besoin que tu inclines un peu ta tablette ver le bas,Is there a rule regarding the position of 'un peu' in the above sentence?I put it at the end but none of the examples placed it there.

Accepted Answer

Bonjour G,
'peu' is part of the adverbs of quantity and 'un peu' is an adverbial expression. Adverbs of quantity and of time are usually placed right after the verbs they refer to, especially the monosyllabic ones likes 'peu, trop, etc’.

Il parle peu = he doesn’t talk much
Tu inclines trop ta tablette = you are tilting your tablet too much

I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée!
