Conjugaison des verbes

  Ouais! Il est très facile de conjuguer en français!

This is the trick I teach my students which works with Romance languages:

Root + Ending (according to time and person) = Conjugated Verb
  1. Take the infinitive form of the verb, example AIMER.
  2. Eliminate the ending -ER (which in this case is the infinitive ending). Example: AIMER - ER= AIM
  3. What you are left with is called the root of the verb (AIM).
  4. Add the root with the ending according to time and person. Example: AIM + ES* = AIMES 
  5. Practice until perfect!


*(-ES = second person in present de l'indicatif)
*(Tu aimes)
