1 La conjugaison des verbes en “-ER”
Conjugating -ER Verbs

2 parler, écouter, quitter, arriver
What is an -ER Verb? Most verbs that end in -ER are -ER Verbs. (That means the last two letters of the infinitive are “-er”). Here are some -ER verbs: parler, écouter, quitter, arriver Notice that each of these verbs ends in “-er”.

3 -es -ez -e -ent How to conjugate: The first step is to drop the “-er”.
Next add the endings: -e -ons -es -ez -e -ent

4 On/Il/Elle parl Ils/Elles parl
Put it together… Parler (infinitive form)- to speak Drop “-er” = PARL (stem) Je parl Nous parl Tu parl Vous parl On/Il/Elle parl Ils/Elles parl Now add the endings-

5 Finished Verb Parler: to speak Je parle Nous parlons
Tu parles Vous parlez On/Il/Elle parle Ils/Elles parlent

6 In English this is… To Speak I speak We speak You speak You speak
He/She/It speaks They speak

7 Now you do one- Quitter- to leave Je _______ Nous_______
Tu _______ Vous _______ Il/Elle _____ Ils/Elles ______

8 Je quitte Nous quittons Tu quittes Vous quittez
How did you do? Quitter- to leave Je quitte Nous quittons Tu quittes Vous quittez On/Il/Elle quitte Ils/Elles quittent

9 Pronunciation Did you notice that the Je, Tu, Il/Elle, and Ils/Elles forms of the verbs sound the same? The Nous and Vous forms sound different. The Vous form sounds like the infinitive. Draw the boot.

10 The verbs ending “-GER” & “-CER” exceptions
Verbs that end in “-GER” like manger, nager, and voyager have one exception: in the NOUS form they end in “-eons” not “-ons” (we have to add the E to soften the G) Verbs that end in “-CER” like lancer and commencer have one exception: in the NOUS form they end in “-çons” not “-ons” (we have to add the Ç to soften the C)

11 On/Il/Elle mange Nous mangeons
Here is an example- Manger- to eat Je mange Tu manges On/Il/Elle mange Nous mangeons Vous mangez Ils/Elles mangent

12 Don’t forget… Verbs that begin with a vowel sound
(A, E, I, O, U, H and Y) get J’ not Je. Here is an example- Arriver- to arrive J’arrive Nous arrivons Tu arrives Vous arrivez Il/Elle arrive Ils/Elles arrivent
