Let's get started with our "conjugaison française".
In a previous article, I mentioned 3 groups (categories) of verbs. Today, we're going to study the first group : le premier groupe.
In this group, you will find all the verbs with the "infinitif" finishing in "ER" : manger, danser, chanter, parler, écouter, regarder, tourner, monter, tomber...
To conjugate (pour conjuguer) a verbe "premier groupe" :
Drop the end of the infinitive "ER". When you drop this "ER", you have the radical of you verb, the basis on which you will add "la terminaison".
| Infinitif | Drop | Radical |
| Manger | ER | Mang |
| Danser | ER |
Dans |
| Chanter | ER | Chant |
| Parler |
ER |
Parl |
| Écouter | ER | Écout |
|
Tourner |
ER | Tourn |
Once you have the "radical" of your verb, you add the "terminaison" at the end of it. And this "terminaison" depends on the subject (le sujet) of your verb.
| Subject / personne | Terminaison |
| Je (I) | e |
| Tu (you) | es |
| Il (he), elle (she), on (it or we) | e |
| Nous (we) | ons |
| Vous (they) | ez |
| Ils (they masculine or they feminine) | ent |
Exemples
| Parler | Danser | Chanter |
| Je parle | Je danse | Je chante |
| Tu parles | Tu danses | Tu chantes |
| Il/elle/on parle | Il/elle/on danse | Il/elle/on chante |
| Nous parlons | Nous dansons | Nous chantons |
| Vous parlez | Vous dansez | Vous chantez |
| Ils/elles parlent | Ils/elles dansent | Ils/elles chantent |
