EN ANGLAIS

You can tell that an action is happening in the present by using three forms of a verb:

I speak

I am speaking

I do speak

In French you use one present tense form to express all these ideas.​

TIPS

Think of the infinitive as the family name of a verb: A family shares a common last name, but each individual has their own characteristics, right?

Use the infinitive to recognize the verb type (-er, -ir, or -re) that allows you to find its conjugation pattern and also look up the verb in the dictionary.
