The present tense is the most commonly used, so carack it and it"s a great start!There are three types of regular verbs (-
er , -ir and -re verbs), but the most common are -er verbs. To form the present tense of these regular verbs, cross off - er , -ir or -re and add the following endings: -er verbs-ir verbs-re verbs je-e-is-s tu-es-is-s il/elle/on-e-it- nous-ons-issons-ons vous-ez-issez-ez ils/elles-ent-issent-entIn English we use the continuous present 'I am playing" as well as 'I play", but in French the present tense

er verbs have spelling changes:Verbs ending in -ger (e.g. manger, nager) add -e in the nous form to soften the g sound: nous mangeons.

forms: j"appelle elle jette.Verbs ending in -yer (e.g. envoyer, payer) change the y to i in the je, tu, il/elle/on and ils/elles forms:
