How it works
Common -er verbs give you a strong first system for habits, routines, and daily actions. This pattern typically appears as subject + conjugated verb and becomes easier when you meet it again in short, readable examples.
What to notice
- French subject pronouns are usually required.
- The written endings differ more than the spoken endings in many verbs.
Why it matters
Move from labels into short useful beginner sentences.
Use in context
