A bit about….
LES VERBS
Verbs are DOING words
In French, the “TO” part of the verb
(the bit you find in the dictionary) is
called:
The “INFINITIVE”
Some infinitives:
to lift
to love
to run
to skateboard
In French verb infinitives end in
either:
ER
IR
RE
Some examples:
aimer
chanter
jouer
ecrire
lire
courir
conduire
faire
dormir
venir
avoir
Verbs can also be:
 REGULAR
Or
 IrEguLaR
In English many verbs only change in the
third person…. eg
I like
You like
He likes
We like
You like
They like
I go
You go
She goes
We go
You go
They go
BUT
I run
You run
He runs
We run
You run
They run
In French different endings go with
different pronouns and you have to
learn the rules!!
We know the rules for regular ER verb
endings
Je
aimE
Tu
aimES
Regular means follows
a set pattern
Il/Elle
aimE
Nous
aimONS
Vous
aimEZ
Ils/Elles aimENT
Regular IR verbs and RE verbs
follow a set pattern as well.
I don’t know about
this yet……
Remember:
Regular verbs follow set rules – we have
already looked at ER verbs.
IrEgUlAr verbs are the ODD ones, they
have an irregular pattern:
Two we have already seen are:
FAIRE
AVOIR
Use the dictionary to find out the
meaning of these infinitives:

compter
écrire
lire
courir
chanter
jouer
conduire
