Learn French: Je perds toujours mon timbre !

Perds is the je (I) form of the regular -re verb perdre (to lose). To conjugate these regular verbs for je and tu (you), you remove the -re from the infinitive and add an -s. So, perdre becomes je perds.

Why is toujours placed after the verb instead of before it like in English?

In English, we put the adverb before the verb (I always lose). In French, adverbs like toujours (always) and souvent (often) usually go directly after the conjugated verb. That is why it is Je perds toujours.

Does toujours end in an -s because it refers to multiple times?

No, the -s at the end of toujours is just a permanent part of the word's spelling. It is an invariable word, meaning its spelling never changes, regardless of what it is describing.

Do I pronounce the -d and -s at the end of perds?

No, the -d and -s at the end of perds are completely silent! In French, final consonants are usually not pronounced unless they are needed to smoothly link into a vowel sound in the next word.
