1 UGBS 106 INTRODUCTORY FRENCH II
Present Tense of ER/IR/RE Verbs

2 Les verbes en ER (ER verbs)
ER verbs constitute one category of verbs in French. EXAMPLES: chanter, danser. Manger, bavarder, regarder, écouter, parler etc In conjugating ER verbs in present tense, we remove the ER leaving the stem. Eg: parlER, We therefore add the following e, es, e, ons, ez, ent to the stem according the various pronouns

3 Les verbes en ER (ER Verbs)
Let’s conjugate parl er et travaill er Je parl e Je travaill e Tu parl es Tu travaill es Il/Elle parl e Il/Elle travaill e Nous parl ons Nous travaill ons Vous parl ez Vous travaill ez Ils/ Elles parl ent Ils/ Elles travaill ent

4 Les verbes en ER (ER verbs)
Within ER, we have verbs like manger, changer, protéger, charger, arranger, déranger, voyager etc which keep the “e” before adding ons for ‘nous’ form. Eg: Je mange, tu manges, il mange, nous mangeons, vous mangez, ils mangent

5 Les verbes en ER (ER verbs)
We also have balayer, essayer, essuyer, envoyer, octroyer, nettoyer, aboyer, payer, appuyer etc… which either keep or change “y” to “i’’ when conjugating. Eg: balayer Je balaie, tu balaies, il balaie, nous balayons, vous balayez, ils balaient

6 Les verbes en ER (ER verbs)
We have appeler, jeter, renouveler which when conjugating double the consonant but keep the single consonant for nous and vous Eg: s’appeler Je m’appelle, tu t’appelles, il s’appelle, nous nous appelons, vous vous appelez, ils s’appellent…

7 Les verbes en IR (IR verbs)
Just as we have for ER verbs, IR verbs also have sub-grouping according to the way they are conjugated. 1. finir, punir, remplir, choisir, saisir, établir, nourrir, périr, attérir, etc…… In conjugating in present tense, we remove the IR and add is, is, it, issons, issez, issent to the stem. Eg: Je finis, tu finis, il finit, nous finissons, vous finissez, ils finissent
