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 désespérer is conjugated the same way that verbs that end in :
-érer. For sound purpose, verbs ending in
-é-consonne(s)-er except verbs in
-éer, ie verbs in:
-éber, -ébrer, -écer, -écher, -écrer, -éder, -éfler, -éger, -égner, -égrer, -éguer, -éjer, -éler, -émer, -éner, -éper, -équer, -érer, -éser, -éter, -étrer, -éver, et -évrer...
transform the
« é » in
« è » before silent endings.
Example:
« sécher » :
« il sèche »,
« nous séchons ». For sound purpose again, verbs ending in
-éger add the letter
« e » after the stem letter
« g » with endings in
« -a » or
« -o ».
The verb
désespérer. 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 ».
