Rules for Conjugating ER Verbs
To conjugate an ER verb, the following rules apply:
Step 1: take off the ER in the verb. (e.g. lancer becomes lanc)
Step 2: add on the proper ending for how you are going to say or write the verb.
Je - ends in "e" (lance - I throw)
Tu - ends in "es" (lances - you throw)
Il/Elle - ends in "e" (lance - he/she throws)
Nous - ends in "ons" (lancons - we throw)
Vous - ends in "ez" (lancez - they throw [plural])
Ils/Elles - ends in "ent" (lancent - they throw masc/fem)
