Conjugation fun!
In class, students have been learning to conjugate verbs, starting with the first group of verbs (-er).  This includes verbs like parler (to speak) and écouter (to listen). We have begun with the pronoun "je" (I) and have added "il/elle" (he, she).  Conjugating verbs is quite fun - you chop off the ending (-er) and, for je, il and elle, you add -e  to the end.  
Now, some of you might say, but why don't you just drop off the "r" ???   WELL, then you'd mess up later when things get more complicated.  It is really just better to do a clean break and chop the whole ending off.

Quick quiz for parents:  Conjugate these verbs using the pronouns je (I), il (he) or elle (she):
1.  je (parler)
2.  il (marcher)
3.  elle (communiquer)
4.  je (arroser)  
5.  il (penser)
6.  elle (ranger)
