There are 3 exceptions for our ER verbs that we need to keep in mind.

Exception #1: Le verbe Aller The verb “ALLER” meaning TO GO is not conjugated the same way as other ER verbs. It is a very important verb that we use often and we will be going over the conjugation later this week.

Exception #2: GER Verbs that end in GER such as; MANGER (to eat), NAGER (to swim) have a slight variation when conjugating with NOUS. Instead of taking away the ER and adding ONS. You need to add EONS. For example: Nous mangeons (we eat) Nous nageons (we swim)

Exception #3: CER Verbs that end in CER such as; COMMENCER (to start), LANCER (to throw) also have a slight variation when conjugating with NOUS. With NOUS you have to add an accent called a cedilla to the C. For example: Nous commençons (we start) Nous lançons (we throw)
