Conjuguez les verbes

Click on the picture and enter the verbs to learn how to conjugate the verbs in French. You will need to start with the first group as in the "ER" verb endings. You will find many tenses, for this week you will need to focus on the present tense .
What did you notice? Is there a pattern?

  1. Sorry, Madam,I forgot. Do we copy out the different endings we have found and then leave a comment about the pattern, or write about the pattern in our book?

  2. For most of the verbs, you take away the "ER" ending and then add the appropriate ending to do with the subject. This rule applies to almost all the verbs except for "nous" for "NAGE", because to keep the sound the "GE" makes you don't take away the "E". There is another exception for "ENVOYER" where the rule only applies to "nous" and "vous"

  4. Almost all of the verbs have there original "er" endings taken off and the grammatically correct ending added on to the end of the verb. There are only a few exceptions to this pattern. one of the exceptions is envoyer where the pattern only applies to "nous" and "vous". Other exceptions to when the pattern does not work is on the verbs "manger" and "nager" when "nous" is added because the "e" is kept on the end of the verb instead of taken off the end of the verb.

  6. On most of the verbs you take away the "er" and add instead "es", "eons", "ez" or "ent". this rule goes with almost almost all the verbs except for "nous" with "nager" and in envoyer the rule only works with nous and vous.

  7. Bravo! All of you gave similar correct answers to the questions. I am very impressed with all the extra information too. Keep trying different verbs. Will the pattern stay the same or will it change? That is the question.
