Help your students understand and practise the conjugation of French -ER verbs with VERBES DU 1er GROUPE AU PRÉSENT! These ready-to-use French grammar worksheets guide students through regular first-group verb endings, spelling changes, sentence completion and negative constructions in the present tense.
Students begin by reviewing how the verb stem and present-tense endings are formed. They then conjugate regular -ER verbs and verbs with spelling particularities, including verbs ending in -GER, -CER, -ELER and -ETER. Additional activities allow students to apply their knowledge in complete affirmative and negative sentences.
This resource includes five student activity pages, concise explanations and examples, a complete answer key, and both printable and digital versions for Google Slides™. It is ideal for French Immersion Grades 6–9 and adaptable for High School Core French/FSL students.
The worksheets may be used as a starting point for introducing first-group verbs, as guided or independent practice, or as a complete review of French -ER verbs in the present tense.
