Les Conjugaisons des Verbes (Verb Conjugation): Le Présent pour les verbes ER, IR et RE (Present Tense for ER, IR and RE ‘regular’ verbs).


ER

IR

RE


E.g. répéter (to repeat)

For the regular verbs, remove the er and add the following highlighted endings for the respective subjects;

E.g. choisir (to choose)

For the regular verbs, remove the ir and add the following highlighted endings for the respective subjects;

How To Build A HUT - Shumbafoot Poem

By
  Shumbafoot@9 | Ubuntu | Unity in Diversity How to build a HUT, Coming from the Bottom of my heart. Prepare the site And make the foundation right. Install the poles And fill up the holes. Tie the poles and branches,  Using strings from bucks and reeds. Apply the mud  And make the wall hard. Apply the plaster And finish with paint.

To get more on this poem, watch this video on the Shumbafoot Creative Space Youtube Channel:  How To Build A Hut - Mud & Thatch
