French Verb Conjugations
- Regular Verbs:
- Conjugations for ER, RE, and IR verbs are presented in pronoun-verb pairs. Note the distinct endings for each person (Je, Tu, Il/Elle, Nous, Vous, Ils/Elles).
- IR verbs, for example, have different forms for singular (e.g., lis, lisent) and plural subjects (e.g., lis, lisent).
Irregular Verbs
- Common Irregular Verbs: Avoir (to have), Etre (to be), Aller (to go), Faire (to do/make) are highlighted as irregular.
- Pronoun-Verb Conjugation: Conjugations are shown for each irregular verb.
Passé Composé
- Formation: The ending of a verb in the infinitive form is removed and replaced with a new ending based on the type of verb (ER, RE, or IR) and the specific pronoun.
- Movement Verbs: Verbs like Aller, arriver, descendre, etc., are conjugated using Être (to be) in the passé composé. Other verbs use Avoir (to have).
Imperfect Tense (Imparfait)
- Formation: The ending of the infinitive verb is removed, and a new ending based on the subject pronoun is added.
- Etre Exception: Être (to be) is an exception and is conjugated using the infinitive form directly for the imperfect tense.
Future Tense (Futur)
- Formation: Use the infinitive form of the verb. Add tense-specific endings to the infinitive for each pronoun (e.g., Je + aimer → J'aimerai).
