Exercise 1
Step 1

Here we have an -er verb “Ă©tudier”. It’s a regular verb so in the 3rd person singular (Nathalie) we just have to drop the -er and add the ending -e (or basically, just drop the -r and leave the -e) :

Zoé et moi, nous aimons chanter.
Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 2
We create the present tense of regular -er verbs by dropping the -er and adding different endings for different persons. Here we have the 3rd person plural (Nicolas et Patrick). The ending here is – ent. Ils regardent.. But in this particular case, we as well have the negative form: Ils ne regardent pas.
Step 2
2 of 2
Nicolas et Patrick ne regardent pas la télé.
Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 2
Again a regular -er verb “aimer”. In this case, the verb starts with the vowel so we have to drop the -e from “Je”. This is called an “elision”. “Je aime” becomes “J’aime”. Again, we simply drop the -er and add the -e for the 1st person singular. The second verb is in the infinitive form (tĂ©lĂ©phoner).
Step 2
2 of 2
J’aime tĂ©lĂ©phoner Ă  des copains.
