conjugation rules and endings for the first group verbs.
However, although the terminations are perfectly regular, stem can be irregular and have numerous variations.
Se tutoyer is conjugated the same way that verbs that end in :
-yer. Verbs ending in
-yer may transform the stem letter
« y » in
« i » before a silent endings.
It is the case for verbs ending in
-oyer and
-uyer (other than envoyer and renvoyer). They replace the
« y » with an
« i » before an unpronounced
« e », turning the preceding syllable in a diphthong. The prototypical verbs are broyer, noyer, ennuyer.
The verb
tutoyer. In grammar, a reflexive verb is, loosely, a verb whose direct object is the same as its subject, for example, "I wash myself". More generally, a reflexive verb has the same semantic agent and patient (typically represented syntactically by the subject and the direct object) are the same. For example, the English verb to perjure is reflexive, since one can only perjure oneself. In a wider sense, the term refers to any verb form whose grammatical object is a reflexive pronoun, regardless of semantics; such verbs are also referred to as pronominal verbs, especially in grammars of the Romance languages. A reflexive verb is always conjugated with a reflexive pronoun. Here is the list of the french reflexive pronouns:
« me »,
« te »,
« se »,
« nous »,
« vous »,
« se ».
Se tutoyer verb is conjugated in female form and in reflexive form. Be careful, the past participle of compound tenses must agree with the subject.
Se tutoyer verb is conjugated in interrogative form. For sound reasons, 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 »:
« se tutoie-t-elle ">« se sera-t-elle tutoyée ? ».
Always in interrogative 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 »:
« me tutoyé-je ">« i » is no longer necessary.
Finally, the interrogative form does not exist in subjunctive and imperative.
