L’élision (elimination)
Je changes to j’ before a verb starting with a vowel or a silent h (ex.j’adore, j’habite)

La liason (linking)
the s in plural pronouns (nous, vous, and ils/elles) is usually silent
except when it is followed by a verb that begins with a vowel sound. In such a case the silent s is pronounced as a /z/ and links the pronoun to the verb. This phenomenon is called liaison (‘linking’) and is very characteristic of French.

the boot (the four silent endings)

There are three major groups of regular verbs in French:
verbs with infinitives ending in -er, (most numerous)
verbs with infinitives ending in -ir, and
verbs with infinitives ending in -re.

First Conjugation
Since -er verbs are the most numerous, they are considered the first conjugation.

To conjugate these verbs:
drop the -er from the infinitive to form the stem.
Next, add the -(er)endings to the stem.
Different tenses have different endings.
