conjugation rules and endings for the first group verbs.
However, although the terminations are perfectly regular, stem can be irregular and have numerous variations.
Bégayer is conjugated the same way that verbs that end in :
-ayer. Verbs ending in
-yer may transform the stem letter
« y » in
« i » before a silent endings.
For verbs ending in -ayer, may be conjugated either by turning the
« y » into an
« i », or by keeping the y and using the exact same conjugation.
Bégayer is conjugated in interro-negative form. The interro-negative form being obtained by inversion of the subject, the placement of the negative adverb follow the same rules as in negative form, giving the following rules:
- in interro-negative form, the adverb
« ne » is always placed first if the subject is a pronoun.
- in simple tenses, the adverbs (
« ne ...pas »,
« ne...plus »,
« ne...jamais », etc...) surround the verb
bégayer and the inverted subject pronoun.
- in compound tenses or in ive voice, the negative adverbs surround the auxiliary and the inverted subject pronoun.
For sound reasons, like in interrogative form, an euphonious
« t » is added to the pronoun of the third person:
« il »,
« elle »,
« on »,
« ils »,
« elles » except when the verb ends with
« t » or
« d »:
« ne bégaye-t-il pas ">« n'aura-t-il pas bégayé ? ».
Always in interro-negative form, and always for sound reasons, an accent appears in first person present indicative tense when the verb ends with
« e ». An euphonious
« e » is replaced by
« é »:
« ne bégayé-je pas ? ».
Finally, the interrogative form does not exist in subjunctive and imperative.
