Infinitif ou non? Walk Talking To say Jumped To swim Playing Cried Says To fidget

What’s all this about conjugation? If we want to use a sentence, we must change the verb For example, “to talk” Next to the subject pronouns, we change the infinitive form of the verb I talkWe talk You talkYou (all) talk He/she/one talksThey talk The extra “s” on the he/she/one form is the correct conjugation, the other 5 forms are the same

Now let’s look at it in French You have to change more than one form in French! Let’s review our subject pronouns: I? Je You (singular)? Tu He/She/One? Il/elle/on

Plural forms We? Nous You (all, formal)? Vous They? Ils/elles Ils  all male or mixed group Elles  all female

Now for the endings Our infinitive is PARLER 1. Take off the –ER  PARL 2. Add on: 1. (je) parle 2. (tu) parles 3. (il/elle/on) parle 4. (nous) parlons 5. (vous) parlez 6. (ils/elles) parlent
