Questions & Answers about J'envoie un formulaire avec le contrat.

Why does the verb envoyer have an "i" in J'envoie?
Envoyer (to send) is a stem-changing verb. For verbs ending in -oyer, the y changes to an i in the je, tu, il/elle, and ils/elles forms. Only the nous and vous forms keep the y (for example, nous envoyons).
Is the "e" at the end of J'envoie pronounced?
No, the -e ending here is silent, just like with regular -er verbs in the je form. You only pronounce the "vwa" sound at the end.
Why does Je become J' before envoie?
Because envoie starts with a vowel, you must drop the e in je and combine the words into J'envoie. This is a mandatory rule in French to make the pronunciation flow more smoothly.
Could I use the word forme instead of formulaire to mean a "form"?
Not in this context. Un formulaire specifically means a printed or digital document that you fill out. The word une forme means "form" in the sense of a physical shape or physical fitness.
