Warm-up: Read the comic about school. Translate as much as possible
French verb groupsIn French there are 5 verb groups• -er (You already know how to conjugate)• -ir • -re• Stem-changing (verbs that have regular
endings, but spelling changes to the stem)• Irregular ( you know some of the most
common, like etre, aller, faire, and avoir)
Notes on –re verbs
Remember: You already are familiar with the 1st verb group, -er verbs. You know how to conjugate regular –er verbs by removing the “er”. Next, you take the stem, and add the endings e, es, e, ons, ez, ent
Example: je regarde nous regardons tu regardes vous regardezil, elle, on regarde ils, elles regardent
-re verbs cont.
• Now we are going to add a second type of regular verb group (the smallest group), verbs ending in –re.
• Just like with –er verbs, you are going to take off the last 2 letters, and then add endings.
• However, the pattern of endings are different, s, s, nothing, ons, ez, ent
Example –re verb
attendre- to wait forTake of the ending: attendre, stem= attend
J’ attends nous attendonsTu attends vous attendezIl, elle, on attend ils, elles attendent
Other –re verbs conjugated the same way• Entendre- to hear• Perdre- to lose• Vendre- to sell• Rendre- to return, to give back (like in English render)• Répondre (à)- to answer, to answer to (like in English
respond)• Rendre visite à- to visit (someone) – Note: you can use the verb visiter to say you’re
visiting a place, but to say your visiting a person, you have to use rendre visite à. So, “vous visitez Paris”, but “vous rendez visite à votre grand-mère”
Practice
• Use the same pattern we used to conjugate attendre to conjugate perdre- to lose
