Les Verbes
Er verbs, Avoir, Être et
Faire
+
Verbs
 Verbs
are words that describe an action
 Most
verbs in French end in - er. This form of the
verb is called the infinitive (before it is
conjugated)
 The

 In
stem of the verb is the infinitive minus the er
Ex: chanter is the infinitive and chant is the stem
French verbs are conjugated (their endings
change) based on who is doing the action (the
pronoun)
+
Like in English, we also have
pronouns in French
 In
English some are:
I
 You
 He/She
 We
 They
 In
French they are:
 Je
 Tu
 Il/Elle
 Nous
 Vous
 Ils/Elles
+
What do they mean??
Je
-I
Tu - You
Il/Elle – He/She
Nous - We
Vous – You plural or formal
Ils/Elles –He/She (plural)
+
To
conjugate
ER verbs,
we have a
set
formula
We need to make sure
that the pronoun and the
verb ending are in
agreement. To do this, we
follow this formula:
+
And the formula is...
1.
2.
3.

Je: add an e to the stem
Tu: add an es to the stem
Il/Elle: add an e to the stem
Nous: add ons to the stem
Vous: add ez to the stem
Ils/Elles: add ent to the stem
+ Let’s try it!
The verb: Walk
Infinitive in French: Marcher
Stem: March
Je marche
Tu marches
Il/Elle marche
Nous marchons
Vous marchez
Ils/Elles marchent
+
Peoples names can become il or elle or vice versa

Ex: Jean Paul marche a l’école. => Il marche à l’école.

Ex: Élaine marche au magasin. => Elle marche au magasin.
Groups of names become ils/elles or vice versa

Ex: Sally, Jacqueline et Mathilde regardent le télé.


Ex: Bérnard, Marcelle et Pierre jouent le football.


Elles regardent le télé.
Ils jouent le football
Mixed groups of masculine and feminine people or objects
use ils to represent them


Bérnard, Lucie, Pierre et Anna jouent le football.
Ils jouent le football.
+
ER Verbs - au négatif
 To
write ER verbs in the negative, we conjugate
the verb as we have already learned, and add a ne
before the verb and a pas after the verb.
 Ex: I
I
walk to school. Je marche à l’école.
don’t walk to school. Je ne marche pas à l’école.
 Ex: We
 We
sing at school. Nous chantons a l’école.
don’t sing at school. Nous ne chantons pas a
l’école.
+
ER Verbs - au négatif

Ex: I listen to the radio


J’écoute la radio
I don’t listen to the radio.

Je n’écoute pas la radio.

We drop the vowel and put an apostrophe for: Je La Le ne when it is
followed by a vowel.
 Practice

Les adjectifs (Adjectives)

An adjective is a word that describes a noun

In French, all adjectives must agree with the noun (ie if it is
masculine, feminine, singular, plural)

To make a adjective plural, we simply add an s to the end of
it.

Feminine adjectives often end in an –e and masculine ones
often do not (not always.)

singular
plural
masculine
grand
grands
feminine
grande
grandes
