First Group Verbs (er)
First group verbs always end with "er" as their infinitive. For example:
- manger (to eat)
- chanter (to sing)
- parler (to talk)
- donner (to give)
Conjugating first group verbs in the present tense is quite simple... it is always the same. Here are two examples for you to understand : donner (to give) et parler (to talk).
| donner | to give |
| je donne | I give |
| tu donnes | you give |
| il donne | he gives |
| nous donnons | we give |
| vous donnez | you give |
| ils donnent | they give |
Note: "donne", "donnes" and "donnent" should be pronounced exactly the same.
| parler | to talk |
| je parle | I talk |
| tu parles | you talk |
| il parle | he talks |
| nous parlons | we talk |
| vous parlez | you talk |
| ils parlent | they talk |
Note II: "parle", "parles" and "parlent" should be pronounced exactly the same.
