S'il faut creuser

-
Préfères-tu qu'on creuse
➔ Interrogative form with 'tu' inversion + subjunctive mood
➔ 'Préfères-tu qu'on creuse' means 'Do you prefer that we dig?' It uses inversion of the subject and an object 'qu'on' (that we), with the present subjunctive mood implicitly conveyed.
-

Moi j'veux un Monsieur Marcel
➔ Subject pronoun + colloquial verb form + indefinite article + proper noun
