First group verbs (er)

First group verbs always end with "er" as their infinitive. For example:

• manger (to eat)
• chanter (to sing)
• parler (to talk)
• donner (to give)

Conjugating first group verbs in the present tense is quite simple... it is always the same. Here are two examples for you to understand : donner (to give) et parler (to talk).

donner	to give
je donne	I give
tu donnes	you give
il donne	he gives
nous donnons	we give
vous donnez	you give
ils donnent	they give

NB: "donne", "donnes" and "donnent" should be pronounced exactly the same.

parler	to talk
je parle	I talk
tu parles	you talk
il parle	he talks
nous parlons	we talk
vous parlez	you talk
ils parlent	they talk

NB: same remark... "parle", "parles" and "parlent" should be pronounced exactly the same.
