Conjugating French Verbs
A sentence isn’t a sentence without a verb. If you ever want to be understood, you must master the verbs. The hardest part about French verbs is the translation, but beyond that, they aren’t difficult.
The verb être
We will discuss how to use the verb être which means to be. You use the verb to be probably more than any other verb. I am, you are, we are, she is, it is, etc. these are all forms of the verb to be. You probably couldn’t count how many times you’ve used it today.
We will discuss the present tense of the verb être as well as the past tense. If you know both of these tenses of this verb and some vocabulary words, you should be able to start communicating right away.
