Description

Welcome to this course on French conjugation in the present. You probably hear that word at school and it brings back bad memories, right ? All those French verbs that never follow any rules ! Well, you are right, verbs seem way more complicated in French than in English. But they are not that bad as you will see in this course ! It will explain verb conjugations in a very simple mathematical way and you’ll see that it is way simpler than you thought.


The course offers :

A detailed and thorough overview of all different types of verbs in French and their conjugation in the present tense in French. The course starts with a review of the meanings of the present tense and the differences with English, and of what conjugation is. Then it goes into details about ER, IR, RE and various types of irregular verbs. Each lesson is followed by a quiz to put into practice the previous points. The course is colorful and animated to keep you engaged.

Each exercise allows you to review everything you’ve learned so far, so that you can go step by step and at your own pace. Each section is very well defined and covers an exhaustive list of verbs, classified in different types that follow similar rules.

Who this course is for:

  • This is more for people who either learnt French informally and want to perfect their accuracy or for people who are beginning to learn French and already know some vocabulary. If you are a complete beginner, you will learn a little vocab and the use of verbs but this is not a method to learn French from scratch. It will give you an excellent base in expressing yourself about what you do or are doing in French.
