Notes
GENERAL INFO
Vu means "seen" (the past participle of the verb voir - to see). It can also function as a preposition or conjunction meaning "given" or "considering."
USAGE
As a past participle, it's common with *avoir* (e.g., *J'ai vu* - I have seen).
As a preposition, it introduces a reason: *Vu le temps, nous restons* (Given the weather, we are staying).
TRAPS
Remember to agree vu in gender and number when used with *être* (*Elle est vue*) or with a preceding direct object when used with *avoir* (*La pièce que j'ai vue* - The play I saw).
