So what is conjugation? What does
« conjugate » mean?
4 ESSENTIAL TERMS
• 1. Subject – The person or thing doing the action (je, vous)
• 2. Infinitive – The verb by itself (danser, parler, inviter)
– What others can you name?
• 3. Stem – The verb without the ER (dans,parl,invit)
• 4. Ending – The combination of letters that we put in place
of the « ER » that we dropped earlier. Each Subject Pronoun
has it’s own ending to be used.

There are 3 exceptions for our ER verbs that we need to keep in mind.
Exception #1: Le verbe Aller
• The verb “ALLER” meaning TO GO is not conjugated the
same way as other ER verbs.
• It is a very important verb that we use often and we will be
going over the conjugation later this week.
Exception #2: GER
• Verbs that end in GER such as; MANGER (to eat), NAGER (to
swim) have a slight variation when conjugating with NOUS.
• Instead of taking away the ER and adding ONS. You need to
add EONS.
• For example:
– Nous mangeons (we eat)
– Nous nageons (we swim)
Exception #3: CER
• Verbs that end in CER such as; COMMENCER (to start),
LANCER (to throw) also have a slight variation when
conjugating with NOUS.
• With NOUS you have to add an accent called a cedilla to the
C.
• For example:
– Nous commençons (we start)
– Nous lançons (we throw)
Application de notre connaissance.
