Verbes du premier groupe

Bon Jour

Today we are going to start learning how to conjúgate the present verbs in French.

Verbs in French are classified in three groups that are conjugated in different ways:

Groups	Ending in	Example
1st Group	-er	Manger (eat)
2nd Group	-ir	Finir (Finish)
3rd Group	-ir, oir, re	Vouloir (Want)

Let’s start working on the 1st group.  In order to conjugate the first group on its present tense you first have to eliminate the last two letters (er) and add the following ending:

Subject	Ending
Je	-e
Tu	-es
Il/Elle	-e
Nous	-ons
Vous	-ez
Ils/Elles	-ont

Let’s make an example.  We take the verb “Danser” (To Dance).  We eliminate the last two letters and we start conjugating it:

Je danse

Tu danses

Il danse

Nous dansons

Vous dansez

Ils dansent

Now it’s up to you.  Try to conjugate the following verbs:

·        Chanter (Ton sing)

·        Regarder (To watch)

·       Posséder (To own)

·       Brûler (To burn)

Au revoir!
