Lesson#1
In this deck, we'll learn three essential verbs for talking about food and drink: 'manger', which means 'to eat', 'boire', for 'to drink', and 'prendre', which means 'to take' but is often used to say you're 'having' something, like a coffee or a meal.
Lesson#2
Let's start with 'manger', which means 'to eat'. It's a regular verb, but there is one small spelling change to remember. To keep the 'G' sound soft with 'nous', we add an 'E' before the 'O N S' ending. So, 'we eat' is 'nous mangeons'.
