Multiple Choice

What are -er verbs?

hints: aimer, adorer, détester, supporter, travailler - what do they have in common?

• verbs that start with -er

• verbs that ends with -er

Multiple Choice

Just like in English, verbs in French need to conjugate depending on who we are talking about.

e.g. I like, he likes, they like

So, what does conjugation mean?

• change of the subject

• change of the doing word

• using conjunctions

There are three steps to conjugate a verb.

• step 1: drop the -er ending, e.g. travailler, you are now left with the stem

• step 2: copy the stem, e.g. travaill

• step 3: add the matching ending to the stem. e.g. je travaille

-er verbs have a regular conjugation pattern. These are the endings that you need to remember.

Take 'travailler (to work)' as an example.

• je travaille = I work

• tu travailles = you work

• il/elle travaille/on travaille = he/she works, we work (informal)

• nous travaillons = we work

• vous travaillez = you all work

• ils/elles travaillent = they work
