Conjugasion

My first french post.

How does this writer know french? Did she learn it because it is one of the reknown languages putting it in the top 5 used languages around the globe? Did she take french because she couldn't deal with languages back in middle school and some crazy ( and ,sorry, but absolutely stupid) senior told French is like English? Did she take it because she thought it is fancy?

We will never know

Now, one thing we do know is that in french ,verbs change along with the object used.

I eat, You eat - In english the verb remains as it is, regardless of the object

Je mange, Tu manges - Same meaning but the verb form changes

So one verb actually has 6 forms depending on the object used. This process of writing these forms for every verb is known as - Conjugation or Conjugasion.

There are two types of verb conjugations

Regular verbs - follows a proper set of rules

Irregular verbs - decides to go nuts.

Before we start conjugasion lets figure out what few words mean

Je - I

Tu - You

Il- He

Elle - She

Nous - We

Vous - Y'all

Ils - Group of guys (Plural)

Elles - Group of gals (Plural)

Now,

These are the conjugations used for these particular verb endings.

For example for -er verbs
