  2. Verbs • What is the function of a Verb? • A VERB is the part of speech in a sentence that conveys the ACTIONthat is taking place. • What is an infinitive? • In English AND in French, verbs come in different forms; the INFINITIVE (the unconjugated form) is the MOST BASIC FORM of any verb. This is the form of the verb BEFORE you place it in a SENTENCE. • If you want to look up a verb in the dictionary, you must look for it’s infinitive form. • In English, the translation/definition of any infinitive will always have “to...” in front of the definition.

  4. Conjugating –ER Verbs • When we want to use a verb in a sentence, we need to CONJUGATE this verb, so that it makes sense. How do we do this in French? • By changing the ending of the verb ENGLISH to like  She likes hotdogs. FRENCH aimer Elle aime les hot-dogs. French

  5. Regular Verbs • Why are –ER verbs considered regular? • because most follow a set pattern for conjugation. • Can you think of the other two regular verb groups? • -IR and -RE • Can you think of the two times the pattern changes slightly? • -ER verbs that end in -GER (manger) and stem-changing boot verbs that add an accent (acheter) • What steps do we take to conjugate –ER verbs? • REMOVE the –ER from the end of the verb to find its stem. • SELECT the subject pronoun you will use in the sentence. • ADD the appropriate ending to the verb for the subject pronoun chosen.
