**EXCEPTIONS There are always exceptions to the rule (ex/Aller = Je vais and not J’alle, Tu alles, Il alle) 1.If the verb contains a G, you will add an “e” depending on what follows it. Ex/ Manger = Je mange, Tu manges, Il mange (everything ) However…Nous mangeons, Vous mangez, Ils mangent  If the verb contains a G that might end up next to an O or an A, you have to add an E to separate them

**EXCEPTIONS CONTINUED… 2. If the verb contains a C, you will add a “cédille”: Ç, depending on what follows it. Ex/ Commencer = Je commence, Tu commences, Il commence However…Nous commençons, Vous commencez, Ils commencent  If the verb contains a C that might end up next to an O or an A, you have to add “the hook” (cédille) onto the bottom of the C to give it a “S” sound
