The Present Tense!

•      The present tense is used to describe events that are happening now, things that you usually do or things that do not change.

•      Remember that there is only one form of the present tense in French so, for instance, il travaille  means he works,he is working and he does work.

HOW TO FORM PRESENT TENSE

Regular verbs form the present tense in one of three ways, depending on whether the infinitive of the verb ends in –er, -re or –ir.

We then remove these endings and add different ones depending on which person we are talking about.

-ER VERBS	-RE VERBS	-IR VERBS
jouer – to play	répondre – to answer/reply	finir – to finish
je joue (I) tu joues (you) il/elle/on joue (he/she/we/one) nous jouons (we) vous jouez (you) ils/elles jouent (they)	je réponds (I) tu réponds (you) il/elle/on répond (he/she/we/one) nous répondons (we) vous répondez(you) ils/elles répondent (they)	je finis (I) tu finis (you) il/elle/on finit (he/she/we/one) nous finissons (we) vous finissez (you) ils/elles finissent (they)
