I. From the Present of the Infinitive are formed-1. The Future, by adding ai. 2. The Present of the Conditional, by adding ais-(oi is cut off in the third conj., and e omitted in the fourth.) 1. Chanter,......je chanter-ai,...... je chanter-ais. 3. Recevoir, je recev(oi)r-ai,....je recev(oi)r-ais. 2. Finir, ........je finir-ai, .........je finir-ais. 4. Vendre, .......je vendr(e)-ai, .....je vendr(e)-ais.

II. From the Participle Present are formed-1. The plural of the Present Indicative, by changing ant into ons, ez, ent—(oi is kept instead of e in the third person of the third conjugation).

[blocks in formation]

2. The Imperfect of the Indicative, by changing ant into ais, ais, ait, ions, iez, aient.

[blocks in formation]

3. The Present of the Subjunctive, by changing ant into e, es, e, ions, iez, and ent―(oi is still kept instead of e, in the three persons singular, and the third only of the plural).

[blocks in formation]

III-IV. From the Past Participle, used with avoir or être, are formed all the compound tenses (see the model verbs); and from the Present of the Indicative are formed all the corresponding persons of the Imperative, by omitting the pronouns used as subjects to the verb. (The s of the second person singular of the first conjugation is suppressed, and the third persons are like those of the Present Subjunctive. See the model verbs.)

V. From the second person singular of the Past Definite is formed the Imperfect of the Subjunctive, by adding se, ses, sions, siez, sent. (For the third person singular, change 8 into t, and place a circumflex accent upon the preceding vowel.)

To Teachers.

We strongly recommend to TEACHERS to make their pupils begin the practice of the following ORAL EXERCISES before they undertake the study of Pronouns-that is, immediately after they have seen the exercises on Adjectives.
