1. WHAT IS AN INFINITIVE?
The infinitive is the basic, unconjugated form of a verb, sometimes called the name of the verb. In English the infinitive is to + verb: to be, to see, to eat, etc.
We are going to concentrate on the verbs with –ER endings. Most –er verbs follow this pattern at the present tense:
Aimer (to like) We CONJUGATE the infinitive:
J’aime Nous Aimons
Tu aimes Vous aimez
Il/Elle aime Ils/Elles aiment
The forms aime, aimes, aiment sound the same!

2. IL/elle/on--E Ils/elles—ENT
To Conjugate an ER verb: Take the whole verb, take off the “ER” and add the endings:
THE ENDINGS ARE:
Je---E Nous---ONS
TU---ES Vous---EZ
IL/elle/on--E Ils/elles—ENT

3. Philippe aime la salade. Il aime la salade.
Noun subjects take the same verb forms as their pronouns.
Examples:
Philippe aime la salade.
Il aime la salade.
Sophie et Julie aiment les vacances
Elles aiment les vacances
