conjugation rules and endings for the first group verbs.
Diminuer 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.
Diminuer verb is conjugated in female form and with auxiliary être. Be careful, the past participle of compound tenses must agree with the subject.
Diminuer 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 »:
« diminue-t-elle ">« sera-t-elle diminuée ? ».
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 »:
« diminué-je ? ».
Finally, the interrogative form does not exist in subjunctive and imperative.
