May it please the court Explanation: The grammatical explanation is that this is the Present Subjunctive, frequently used with "vouloir", as in "Je veux qu'il vienne" (I want him to come). There is usually a "que" in front, as in "Qu'il prenne un emploi!" (Let him get a job!) A French Reference Grammar - Ferrar |
