    Conjugation of the verb with the Subject Pronouns


     

    Conjugation of the verb

    With the  subject pronouns ' je, tu, il, elle, nous, vous, ils'

    (Lesson for beginners)

     

    A verb is not always written with the same ending.

    It is changed to show different persons and tenses. This is referred to as conjugation of  the verb  :

    Example : je chante- nous chantons.



    The verbs are catalogued by their infinitive form.

    The infinitive form  often ends in -er ou  -ir

     

    Some infinitive examples  :

    1st group : chanter - pleurer - sauter - travailler
    2nd group : finir - rougir

    (The Present Participle of this group of verbs ends in 'issant' ; ex: rougir => rougissant)

    3rd group : dormir - partir - venir - attendre - pleuvoir - faire



    A verb can be conjugated

    In the past (j'étais enfant),

    In the present (je suis adulte)

    or in the future (je serai vieux).

    The Subject Pronouns are used in order to conjugate the verbs :
    Je - tu - il - elle - on - nous - vous - ilselles

     

    personal pronouns

    singular

    plural

    1st person

    je / j'

    nous

    2nd person

    tu

    vous

    3rd person

    Il/elle/on

    Ils/elles

     

    NOTICE

    Be careful with  ON

    Though 'on' can refer to several people, it is in the singular form, thus the verb will be in the singular form

    on chante.

     

    These verbs are conjugated in the present :
    Je mange (manger)

    Je rougis (rougir)
    Tu dessines (dessiner)

    Tu remplis (remplir)
    Il/ elle saute (sauter)

    Il/elle applaudit (applaudir)
    Nous parlons (parler)

    Nous choisissons (choisir)
    Vous gommez (gommer)

    Vous agissez (agir)
    Ils/elles arrivent (arriver)

    Ils/elles avertissent (avertir)

     

    From the Subject Pronouns : je, tu, il, elle, nous, vous, ils, elles ,
    complete the following sentences with
    Nous, vous, je, tu :
