The Official rule
 Step one: choose your verb (what are you trying to
have someone do).
 Step two: decide who you is doing the action (je, tu, il,
elle, on, nous, vous, ils, elles, or an object or a name)
 Step three: look at your verb. If it ends in –er, you
chop off ther –er.
 For example, let’s use parler.
 Chop off the –er to make parl-
 Step four: Add the ending for the pronoun (je, tu, etc)
doing the action.
The endings are
 Je ---- e
Nous ---------ons
 Tu ----- es
Vous --------- ez
 Il, elle, on ----- e
ils -------- ent
