Infinitive The form of the verb we find in the dictionary is called the “infinitive”.
This is expressed in English by “to …”, e.g. to play, to think, to sing
In French the most common regular verb in the infinitive is the –er verb, e.g. jouer = to play
Present tense This expresses an action which is happening at the present time. Je joue = I am playing / I play
To form the present tense Subject pronoun + the stem + the appropriate ending
Subject pronouns je = I tu = you (sing.) il = he/it elle = she/it on = one nous = we vous = you (pl./sing polite) ils = they (m,m+f) elles =they(f)
The stem In –er verbs the stem is formed by removing the –er – eg. jouer
The Endings je = -e tu = -es il = -e elle = -e on = -e nous = -ons vous = -ez ils = -ent elles = -ent
jouer – to play je joue tu joues il joue elle on nous jouons vous jouez ils jouent elles jouent
