How do you conjugate regular ER verbs in the present tense?

ER verbs are verbs that end in -er (e.g. aller, jouer). The regular verbs can be conjugated using a simple rule. Let's use the example of jouer: First, take off the ER ending: jou Then, add the following endings: Je (I): -e Tu (you singluar): -es Il/Elle (he/she/it): -e Nous (we): -ons Vous (you plural): -ez Ils/elles (they): -ont So, following this rule we get the following: I play : je joue You play: tu joues He/she plays: il/elle joue We play: nous jouons You plural play: vous jouez They play: Ils/elles jouent
