To change regular -er verbs into the present tense, follow these easy steps:

1. Subject Pronouns:
   Here are the words you use for different subjects:

   • je (I)
   • tu (you, informal)
   • il/elle/on (he/she/one)
   • nous (we)
   • vous (you, formal or plural)
   • ils/elles (they, masculine/feminine)

2. How to Conjugate:
   First, start with the basic form of the verb, called the infinitive. For example, "aimer" means "to love."

   • Remove the -er ending.
   • Then, add these endings:
     • For "je," add -e: (j'aime means I love)
     • For "tu," add -es: (tu aimes means you love)
     • For "il/elle/on," add -e: (il aime means he loves)
     • For "nous," add -ons: (nous aimons means we love)
     • For "vous," add -ez: (vous aimez means you love)
     • For "ils/elles," add -ent: (ils aiment means they love)

3. Saying "No":
   If you want to say something is not true, use "ne...pas."

   • Example: "Je n'aime pas" means "I do not like."

4. Using Articles:
   Articles are words that help define nouns. There are two kinds:

   • Definite articles (specific): le, la, l', les (the)
   • Indefinite articles (not specific): un, une, des (a/an/some)

5. Learning About Adjectives:
   Adjectives (describing words) must match the nouns they describe based on gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural).

   • Example: "un livre intéressant" means "an interesting book" (masculine).
   • "une femme intéressante" means "an interesting woman" (feminine).
