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
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
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
