Grammaire – Les verbes en -er Français 1
1. We have learned about les infinitifs et les pronomssujets. Now, we will focus on some regular verbs in French. These verbs follow a pattern. Their forms can be predicted. Some verbs that we will learn later are known as irregular verbs. Their forms do not follow a pattern.
2. These verbs are divided into 3 different groups or conjugations based on the infinitive ending of the verb.
3. The 3 regular verb groups in French are: EndingInfinitive ____-er______danser(to dance) ____-ir______finir(to finish) ____-re______vendre(to sell)

NOTE: • danse, danses, and dansent sound exactly the same!
7. In French, the verbforms change according to the subjects just as they do in English! Ex. – I dance, you dance, but he/she dances.
