Conjugate French Verbs in the Present Tense with Memory Tricks

Description

One of the difficulties that English speakers encounter when they start to learn French is knowing how to conjugate verbs correctly.

The clever memory tricks in this little guide make it easy to learn how to conjugate both regular and irregular verbs in the present tense. Colour coding quickly shows where the exceptions occur and mind associations make the exceptions easy to remember. For example, once you start visualising the ‘e’ in ‘nous mangeons’ (we eat) as a mouth opening up, ready to gobble up any food in sight, it will become second nature to add it every time you conjugate ‘manger’.

There are memory tricks to help you remember the meaning of verbs too. To remember that ‘tenir’ means ‘to hold’, think of the verb tenaciously holding on to a cliff edge. Even better, once you can conjugate ‘tenir’ it’s easy to remember ‘venir’ (to come) as they conjugate in the same way, especially if you imagine inviting people to come (venir) to a venue.
