Stem changing verbs
Wait, what does that mean...

2
In French, there are some verbs that change when you conjugate them
This might mean that it adds or drops a letter
Or perhaps adds an accent (cause why not)
Or perhaps it changes the existing accent
Doesn't that sound like fun??
3
You've already kind of seen this...you just might not realize it
For example, Je m'appelle is a stem changing verb. The infinitive (remember, that's the thing it is before you conjugate it) is actually s'appeler with just one l. Another example is the verb "manger". You know that, as an -er verb, the nous ending is -ons...then why is it "nous mangeons"?
4
Because they are stem changing verbs!
5
-ger verbs
The following verbs have the same changes as we have done with manger
voyager (to travel)
déménager (to move)
déranger (to bother)
partager (to share)
plonger (to dive)
ranger (to tidy up)
6
-cer verbs
In verbs that end in -cer, the c becomes ç before the -ons ending of the nous form
commencer (to start)
avancer (to advance or move forward)
effacer (to erase)
forcer (to force)
lancer (to throw)
menacer (to threaten)
7
-cer verbs (cont.)
placer (to place)
remplacer (to replace)
8
-yer verbs
The y in -yer verbs changes to an i in all forms except the nous and vous form
envoyer (to send)
balayer (to sweep)
ennuyer (to bore; to annoy)
essayer (to try)
nettoyer (to clean)
payer (to pay)
9
verbs that add an accent
the forms inside the "boot" add an accent that wasn't in the infinitive, but the nous and vous do not
peser (to weigh)
amener (to bring someone)
élever (to raise)
emmener (to take someone)
lever (to lift)
mener (to lead)
10
-é_er verbs
in verbs like préférer, the é in the last syllable of the verb changes to an è in all forms except the nous and vous
préférer (to prefer)
considérer (to consider)
espérer (to hope)
posséder (to possess)
répéter (to repeat; to rehearse)
11
"double" verbs
In certain verbs that end in -eler or -eter, the last consonant in the stem is doubled in all forms except (you guessed it) nous and vous
jeter (to throw)
épeler (to spell)
projeter (to plan)
rappeler (to recall, to call back)
rejeter (to reject)
12
That's it! C'est fini!
