Stem Changing Verbs Notes Accent Verbs

Another set of “irregular verbs” are called ACCENT VERBS because when conjugating them, they

follow a PATTERN in where you place the ACCENTS. Although they seem small and unimportant,

the ACCENTS are important because they affect how you PRONOUNCE these verbs in different

forms. There are several other verbs that do the same thing for verbs like s’appeler (Je m’appelle…,

My name is…). For verbs like appeler (to call), rappeler (to call back) and jeter (to throw), the

consonant -l or -t in the the stem DOUBLES in all forms of the present tense, except in the first and

second person plural (nous and vous). This follows the traditional BOOT pattern of ER VERB

conjugations in the present tense.

This same "boot" pattern is repeated in spelling change verbs like préférer (to prefer) and acheter (to

buy). In order to know where you place the ACCENTS you need to know if there are ACCENTS in

the infinitive form because in the NOUS and VOUS form, the stem returns back to the INFINITIVE

form. Let’s take a look at the conjugations.

-E È : ACHETER and AMENER have NO accents in the infinitive. Verbs conjugated like

acheter/amener include: emmener (to take somebody along), lever (to lift, raise), mener (to take,

lead), and peser (to weigh).

APPELER= TO CALL

J’appelle Nous appelons

Tu appelles Vous appelez

Il/elle/on appelle Ils/elles appellent

AMENER= TO BRING (PEOPLE)

J’amène Nous amenons

Tu amènes Vous amenez

Il/elle/on amène Ils/elles amènent

ACHETER= TO BUY

J’achète Nous achetons

Tu achètes Vous achetez

Il/elle/on achètes Ils/elles achètent

BOOT VERB EXAMPLE:

***NOTICE HOW ALL THE VERB FORMS

HAVE DOUBLE CONSONANTS EXCEPT THE

NOUS AND VOUS FORMS***

Notice that the NOUS and VOUS return back to

the infinitive (no accent)

J’achète la robe. I buy/am buying the dress.

Nous achetons un café. We buy/are buying a coffee.

Elle amène son copain. She is bringing her boyfriend.

Nous amenons notre mère. We are bringing our mother. 3

PRÉFÉRER and ESPÉRER have AN AIGU accent (É) on the second E in the infinitive. In these verbs

the é in the last syllable of the stem changes to an ACCENT GRAVE (È) except in the NOUS AND VOUS

form. Verbs conjugated like préférer/espérer include: considérer (to consider), régler (to regulate, settle,

adjust) répéter (to repeat), sécher (to dry, skip- a class).

ESPÉRER= TO HOPE
