  2. What are ER verbs? • ER verbs are a group of verbs where the infinitive ends with the letters ER • REGULAR ER VERBS ALWAYS FOLLOW THE SAME CONJUGATION RULES • These rules help you to know how to conjugate ER verbs with all subjects even when seeing the verb for the first time

  3. ER verb conjugation Rules • ER verbs are conjugated following these rules • Step one: Remove the ER to get the stem of the verb (example: Parler -> Parl) • The stem of the verb remains the same for all subjects! • Step two: Add the correct ending to the stem of the verb that agrees with the subject of the sentence

  4. ER VERB ENDINGS • The ending for ER verbs are as follows • Je ____ e Nous ____ ons • Tu ____ es Vous ____ ez • Il _____ e Ils _____ ent • Elle/on ___ e Elles ____ ent • These are the endings you add to the stem after removing the ER • Example: Je parle : Nous parlons
