Notes

GENERAL INFO

Manger means "to eat."

It's used directly like "to eat" in English. For example:

"Je veux manger" (I want to eat)

"Nous mangeons des pâtes" (We eat pasta).

Je mange

Tu manges

Il/elle/on mange

Nous mageons

Vous mangez

Ils/elles mangent

While mostly regular, manger adds an 'e' before the 'o' in the "nous" form (nous mangeons) to preserve the soft 'g' sound.
