I can understand and form sentences using a range of -er verbs to talk and write about what others do.

Show transcript
For 'she, he' + verb in French, the verb ends in -e, 'nous' + verb the ending is -ons and for 'ils, elles' it's -ent. The 'she, he' form of the verb is called the 3rd person singular, the 'they' form is the 3rd person plural. We can use a name or a noun in the place of a pronoun before the verb e.g. 'le garçon' or 'David' instead of 'il'. It is difficult to distinguish between the 'il, elle' and the 'ils, elles' verb forms because they sound the same. If a singular/plural noun is used before the 3rd person singular/plural, the article helps us to identify the verb form.
