conjugation rules and endings for the first group verbs.
Caractériser is conjugated the same way that verbs that end in :
-er. First group verbs always end with
-er as their infinitive. Endings of first group verbs are regular.
Note : Although endings are perfectly regular, spelling changes occur in the stems of verbs in
-cer,
-ger,
-yer,
-eter,
-eler,
-é-consonne(s)-er,
-e-consonne-er, verb
envoyer and similar verbs.
Caractériser 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 »:
« caractérise-t-il ">« aura-t-il caractérisé ? ».
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 »:
« caractérisé-je ? ».
Finally, the interrogative form does not exist in subjunctive and imperative.
