1 Regular -er verbs

2 Each verb has an infinitive.
This is the verb in its “original” form. In English, the infinitive is when you say “to” and the verb. TO LAUGH TO TALK

3 In French, you must, as in English conjugate the verb.
You have already conjugated être. Conjugating is when you make the subject and verb match.

4 In order to conjugate a regular –er verb in French, the first thing you must do is drop the –er.
This gives you what we call the “root” or “stem”. You will add the endings to this root.

5 In English, this is like dropping the “to” and adding the “s” in the 3rd person singular case.
He talks She runs

6 The next slide contains the endings needed to be added to the root for each subject pronoun.
You will do this each time you have a subject.

7 je e tu es il elle e on nous ons vous ez ils ent elles

8 Again, the above are the endings you will add to the root depending upon the subject.
The following is an example of a verb being conjugated.

9 First you will select the verb: Regarder
Now, you will find the root: drop the –er Next you add the appropriate endings to the root of REGARD

10 Regarder nous regardons vous regardez ils regardent elles regardent
je regarde tu regardes il regarde elle regarde on regarde nous regardons vous regardez ils regardent elles regardent

11 When the verb is conjugated it has three meanings; am watching, do watch, and watch.
Tu regardes will translate as : You are watching; you do watch; and you watch. You do not need any other verb

12 YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE CONJUGATED VERB PER SUBJECT UNLESS THE VERBS ARE CONNECTED BY A CONJUNCTION LIKE AND, BUT, OR OR.

13 They are eating. Ils mangent. We are playing. Nous jouons. I like. J’aime.

14 They are speaking French.
Ils parlent français. We are studying at school. Nous étudions à l’école. I work in Johnson City. Je travaille à Johnson City. She is listening to music. Elle écoute de la musique.
