​Conjuguer les verbes -ER

By now you should know that verbs change endings depending on the subject doing the action.​ This is called conjugation. To conjugate -ER verbs, remove the -ER ending and add the following:

• When JE is the subject, the verb ends with -E.

• When TU is the subject, the verb ends with -ES​

• When IL or ELLE is the subject, the verb ends with -E

• When ILS or ELLES is the subject, the verb ends with -ENT​

​infinitive verb vs conjugated verb

An infinitive verb is the unconjugated form of the verb, in this case, with an -ER ending. Infinitives are used when there is more than one verb in a sentence. Only the first verb is conjugated. You see this often with opinion statements.

Ex-- J'aime jouer aux jeux vidéo.

Tu détestes manger le brocoli.

Elle adore écouter la musique classique.​

The same verb from the question should be used in the answer, but the verb ending changes from -es to -e.​

​

ex -- Est-ce que tu joues au volleyball?

Oui, je joue au volleyball. / Non, je ne joue pas au volleyball.​
