Trying very hard to find out when I should use "tu" and when it should be "toi"???
Merci!

I really never thought of that one...
I can see now that with "you" meaning "tu" and "toi" there can be some confusion...
My first suggestion would be: if you can replace you with moi [me] then it will be ok to use "toi"...
For example... with "It's you" you can replace you with me so it will be "c'est toi"...
Same with "after you"... "apres toi"...
I will look into it more deeply though... And will try to come back with a more researched answer...
This post was really to say that your question hasn't been ignored...
Talk soon...
A bientot..

Merci! I will try & remember that basic rule.
"je reste avec impatience" & all that, which amuses me, when it really means "Look forward to that"!
à bientôt
