You need to do your tasks.
Conjugation
Rule 1: To conjugate in the present, one must replace -re with one of the following endings: -s, -s, -, -ons, -ez, -ent.
Here's an example with the verb attendre (to wait):
| J'attends | Nous attendons |
| Tu attends | Vous attendez |
| Il, elle, on attend | Ils, elles attendent |
| J'attends | Nous attendons |
| Tu attends | Vous attendez |
| Il, elle, on attend | Ils, elles attendent |
Exception
Not all verbs ending in -re are regular. You have to pay close attention.
| Je peins | Nous peignons |
| Tu peins | Vous peignez |
| Il, elle, on peint | Ils, elles peignent |
| Je peins | Nous peignons |
| Tu peins | Vous peignez |
