ER Verb Conjugation! You probably know more than you think you do! =) Translate: Manger Je mange Nous mangeons TumangesVousmangez Il mange Ilsmangent
ER Verbs • The most common form of French verbs. • The infinitives end in the letters ER. • We’ve already used so many of them: jouer, aimer, toucher, ecouter, manger, danser, chanter, fermer, crier, marcher, regarder, commander, etc! • When we conjugate these verbs, there are rules that we follow, and they are the same every time. • (But be careful! Some verbs ending in ER are “irregular verbs” and do not follow the same rules. ex: aller)
We’ve already seen and used these conjugated: • Il joue au foot = ? • J’aimedanser = ? • Nous chantons = ? • Ellesecoutent de la musique = ? Remember, when they are in the infinitive, they mean “to _______”. We have been using that the most often (Je veuxjouer, Tu vas manger, Elle aimeregarder la tele, etc).
But, as we have seen (mostly in our stories & specific vocabulary phrases), when they are conjugated to the PRESENT TENSE, they look like this: danser = to dance Je danse = I dance Nous dansons = We dance Tudanse = You dance Vousdansez = You (all) dance Il danse = He dances Ilsdansent = They dance • The person is directly doing the action, not “wants to” or “likes to” or “is going to”, as we have used most of these so far. • Actually, each one has three meanings: • I dance. • I do dance. • I am dancing.
THE RULES Drop the “er” from the end of the word. (jouer becomes jou, which is called the stem of the word). Then add the following for each subject pronoun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv4nRXD6oEk
