Welcome to this deck on the French present tense for regular verbs. The present tense is used to talk about what is happening now, general truths, and habits. In this deck, we'll master the three main groups of regular verbs: those ending in e r, i r, and r e. By the end, you'll be able to form sentences about current actions with confidence.

Let's start with the most common group: regular verbs ending in e r, like 'parler', which means 'to speak'. To conjugate these verbs, you first remove the e r ending to find the stem. For 'parler', the stem is 'parl'. Then, you add a specific ending for each subject pronoun.
