Present Tense Conjugation of Regular Verbs in French

In French, regular verbs are divided into three groups based on how they end: -er, -ir, and -re. Let’s see how to change them for the present tense.

  1. -ER Verbs (like parler - to speak):

    • Je parle (I speak)
    • Tu parles (You speak)
    • Il/Elle parle (He/She speaks)
  2. -IR Verbs (like finir - to finish):

    • Je finis (I finish)
    • Tu finis (You finish)
    • Il/Elle finit (He/She finishes)
  3. -RE Verbs (like vendre - to sell):

    • Je vends (I sell)
    • Tu vends (You sell)
    • Il/Elle vend (He/She sells)

Important Grammar Points

  • Helping Verbs: Use avoir (to have) and être (to be) when making different tenses.

  • Adjective Agreement: Adjectives (describing words) have to match the nouns they go with in gender (male or female) and number (singular or plural).

  • Negative Sentences: To say something isn't true, use ne...pas. For example: Je ne parle pas (I do not speak).

  • Questions: You can ask questions by turning the sentence around or changing your voice. For example: Parles-tu? (Do you speak?)

Vocabulary

  • parler (to speak)
  • finir (to finish)
  • vendre (to sell)
  • joli (pretty)
  • nouvelle (new)
