Common Patterns Across Conjugations:
If we ignore the present simple of “er” verbs, we can note the following standard endings in French:
singular plural
1st person -s -ons
2nd person -s -ez
3rd person -t -nt
Note the repetition of “s” in both the 1st person and 2nd person singular forms - conjugating with this pattern will reduce the forms you need to memorize.
