THIRD CONJUGATION VERBS

Posted May 13, 2010 by melangeofcultures in FUN WITH FRENCH. 2 Comments

I hope all of you had plenty of time to master the first/second conjugation verbs. The final family of verbs we will examine is called third conjugation: All third conjugation verbs end in RE.   DESCENDRE- to descend, to go down- Remove the RE infinitive ending add (S) for Je/Tu- take away RE for Il/Elle, (ONS) for Nous, (EZ) for Vous, (ENT) for Ils/Elles
je descends                                 nous descendons
tu descends                                 vous descendez

il descend ils descendent

elle descend elles descendent

USAGE:
Je descends de l’ascenseur. I am coming down the elevator.

Maman descend l’escalier. Mom is coming down the stairs.

Please spend some time reviewing the third conjugations.

Happy study!

Thanks for the lesson, Nicole. My french always needs this kind of reminding.
