QU’EST-CE QU’UNE VERBE INFINITIVE?
WHAT IS AN INFINITIVE VERB?
An infitive verb is a verb that is not in any tense
or « untouched ».
 In English

The verb with « to » in front of it
 To speak, to eat, to listen


En Français
The verb with its complete ending; in our case an
« er » ending


LES VERBES EN LE PRÉSENT
To use a verb in the present tense, conjugate the
verb according to the subject pronoun that is
being used.
 The verb in the present tense and the subject will
always stay together.

[subject + verb in present tense]
 [ je mange]
 [ tu parles]
 [ils organisent]

VERBE + INFINITIF

To express two verbs together, the fist verb will
be conjugated in the present tense and the second
verb will always be in the infinitive (end with er).

If there are two consecutive verbs in a sentence,
the first verb will always be conjugated (its
ending will change) and the second verb will
always remain in the infinitive form (its ending
will not change).
