What You’ll Learn Today | आज के सिक्नुहुनेछ?

In today’s Day 9 video , we covered:

  • How to conjugate regular -er verbs (like parler , manger , jouer )
  • The five special cases that change how you conjugate certain verbs
  • Why these rules are important for correct spelling and pronunciation
  • Real-life examples showing each rule in action

These rules will help you write and speak more accurately in French — especially when dealing with tricky spellings or sounds.


🔁 Basic Conjugation Rule | आधारभूत नियम

For most regular -er verbs:

Remove -er → add endings: -e, -es, -e, -ons, -ez, -ent

📌 Example: parler (to speak)

  • je parle (जु पार्ले)
  • tu parles (तू पार्ले)
  • il/elle parle (इल पार्ले)
  • nous parlons (नू पार्लोँ)
  • vous parlez (वू पार्ले)
  • ils parlent (इल् पार्ले)

Now let’s look at the special cases where this pattern changes slightly.


📚 5 Special Cases in -er Verb Conjugation | 5 विशेष लफडाहरू


✅ Case 1: Use of Cedilla (ç) in -cer verbs (nous form only)

Some verbs like commencer , lancer , placer need a cedilla (ç) before -ons to keep the soft “c” sound.

commencernous commençonsनू कोमोँसोँ

Without the cedilla, it would be “commenc ons**”** → which would sound like “कोमोँकोन्स्” instead of “कोमोँन्सोँ”. 😊


✅ Case 2: Add extra ‘e’ in -ger verbs (nous form only)

Verbs like manger , ranger , plonger get an extra “e” before -ons to keep the soft “g” sound.

mangernous mangeonsनू माँजीयोन्स्

Without the extra “e”, it would be “mang ons**”** → which would sound like “मङ्गोन्स्” instead of “माँजीयोन्स्”.


✅ Case 3: Change accent on ‘é’ in -e+consonant+er verbs

When the infinitive ends in -eter , -eler , etc. like -e+consonant+er form, sometimes the “é” changes to “è” in singular forms.

📌 Example: espérer (to hope)

  • j’espère (जेस्पेयर)
  • tu espères (तू एस्पेयर)
  • il espère (इल एस्पेयर)

This helps with pronunciation — making the vowel sound more open.


✅ Case 4: Double l or t in -eler / -eter verbs

Some verbs like appeler , jeter double the l or t in singular forms.

📌 Example: appeler (to call)

  • j’appelle (जापेल)
  • tu appelles (तू आपेल)
  • il appelle (इल आपेल)

📌 Example: jeter (to throw)

  • je jette (जु जेत)
  • tu jettes (तू जेत)
  • il jette (इल जेत)

This helps maintain the correct sound.


✅ Case 5: Change y to i in -yer / -ayer / -uyer / -oyer verbs

In singular forms, verbs ending in -yer , -ayer , etc., often change “y” to “i” for smoother pronunciation.

📌 Example: payer (to pay)

  • je paie (जे पेई)
  • tu paies (तू पेई)
  • il paie (इल पेई)

📌 Example: essayer (to try)

  • je essaie (जे एसए)
  • tu essaies (तू एसएस)
  • il essaie (इल एसए)

(म सुरु गर्छु, तिमी सुरु गर्छौं, ऊ सुरु गर्छ, हामी सुरु गर्छौं, तपाईंहरू सुरु गर्नुहुन्छ, तिनीहरू सुरु गर्छन्)
