Questions & Answers about Je parle français et anglais.
Why is the verb parle instead of parler?
Parler is the infinitive (dictionary form) meaning "to speak." To say "I speak" (je), you take off the -er ending and add an -e. This is how you conjugate all regular -er verbs for the je form!
Do I pronounce the "e" at the end of parle?
No, the -e ending on parle is silent. It sounds just like "parl". It's important to remember this because the dictionary form, parler, pronounces the -er at the end like the "ay" in "say".
Why aren't the words français and anglais capitalized like they are in English?
