CONJUGATION!!!

Conjugation is the process of changing a VERB to correspond with its SUBJECT.

What is a subject? 

A subject is a PERSON or a THING that DOES the action in a sentence.

In French, the SINGULAR subject pronouns are:

JE (J') = I

TU = YOU

IL = HE or IT

ELLE = SHE or IT

In French, the PLURAL pronouns are...

NOUS = WE

VOUS = YOU

ILS = THEY

ELLES = THEY

What is a verb?

A verb is the ACTION in a sentence.

Most verbs in French end with the letters -ER. An unconjugated verb is called an INFINITIVE.

For example, PARLER means TO SPEAK.

How do I conjugate a verb?

 There are 2 steps to conjugation.

Step 1 🡪 Drop the -ER ending

Step 2 🡪 Add the conjugated ending

The endings are:

JE - E

TU - ES

IL / ELLE - E

NOUS - ONS

VOUS - EZ

ILS / ELLES - ENT

What does a conjugated verb look like?

Nous parlons (We speak)

Vous parlez (You speak)
