verb forms

Français 1

1. We have learned about les infinitifs
et les pronoms sujets. Now, we will
focus on some regular verbs in French.
These verbs follow a pattern. Their
forms can be predicted. Some verbs
that we will learn later are known as
irregular verbs. Their forms do not
follow a pattern.

2. These verbs are divided
into 3different groups or
conjugations based on the
infinitive ending of the verb.

3. The 3 regular verb groups in
French are:
Ending Infinitive
____-er______ danser (to dance)
____-ir______ finir (to finish)
____-re______ vendre (to sell)

4. First, we will work with –er
verbs or what is known as the
first conjugation. This is the
most common infinitive ending.
(Remember, an infinitive is the
most basic form of a verb!)
