We have learned one verb so far
Etre
Je suis
nous sommes
Tu es
vous etes
Il est
ils sont
Elle est
On est
elles sont
We have used adjectives
Etre works with all of them.
Now, we are going to add on
other verbs
First of all, a verb is something you do.
Let’s brainstorm a few in english
When you have a verb, it changes
depending on who is doing the
action
Example in english: to study
I study
You study
--------------------------He study? - doesn’t work that way
It becomes he studies
------------------------------
We study
You study
They study
To Be
Another example in English:
I am
--------------------- You am?--- Doesn’t work like that
You are
-----------------------
He am? He are? --------Doesn’t work like that
He is
------------------
We are
You are
They are
We know our pronouns in French
Instead of
I its « Je »
You its « tu »
he/she/it it’s « il/elle »
we it’s « on/nous »
you (pl) it’s « vous »
they it’s « ils/elles »
Let’s place them like this on our
paper
Je
nous
Tu
Vous
Il
Ils
Elle
Elles
on
Let’s place them like this on our
paper

The Official rule
Step one: choose your verb (what are you trying to
have someone do).
Step two: decide who you is doing the action (je, tu, il,
elle, on, nous, vous, ils, elles, or an object or a name)
Step three: look at your verb. If it ends in –er, you
chop off ther –er.
For example, let’s use parler.
Chop off the –er to make parl-
Step four: Add the ending for the pronoun (je, tu, etc)
doing the action.
The endings are
Je ---- e
Nous ---------ons
Tu ----- es
Vous --------- ez
Il, elle, on ----- e
ils -------- ent
THE CHANT
E
ES
E
ONS

ENT
Let’s Try a few verbs together
Habiter
Arriver
Quitter
Passer
rigoler
In your notes, let’s try a few
Je with chanter
Tu with parler
Nous with déjeuner
Vous with travailler
Ils with étudier
Il with rentrer
On with acheter
A few picky rules
If you have a « je » with a verb beginning in an a, e, i,
o, or u
You make it J’
J’aime
J’ étudie
J’écoute
J’arrive
If you have a verb like acheter, where there will be an e
followed by a consonant, than another e, you put an
accent over the first e
J’achète
Tu achètes
