Pronunciation.
The French language has three accents, which principally

bflong to the e, namely
the acute accent 6,
the grave accent h
and the circumflex accent d
if the e is without the accent it is either pronounced short or
not at all, if with the accent it is always pronounced.
Vowels.
The pronunciation of the following vowels requires most

care
oVy is pronounced like oo in the English word look,
o, au, eaUf are pronounced like o.
.7, is pronounced like a, in the word father.
4, is pronounced the word better.
like e in
u is the most difficult letter to pronounce, for there is no cor-
responding sound in the English language; it sounds like
the German ii, like eeyu, and it ought to be carefully imi-
tated from a French person.
eu. oeUf are pronounced like u in the English word much.
p^ ^y e, a/, e/, are pronounced like a in the English word care.
y, y, are pronounced like e in the English word mo.
The nasal sounds: am, an, em, en, un, oin, are equally
to pronounce and these ought to be heard and imitated
difficult
from a Frenchman.
Rule. Those who study without a. teacher, ought, when
an opportunity occurs, to ask the pronunciation of p
difficult word by such means, the learner will arrivp
;
at the correct pronunciation, which no description in

words is capable of conveying.

3. Regular Yerbs.
The Infinitives of Verbs in the French language have the

four following terminations:
er — as in donner, to give,
ir — as in ffnir, to finish,
oir — as in: recevoir, to receive,
re -— as in vendrey to sell,
all that precedes this Infinitive termination is called the ^'roof^

of the Verb.
Verbs which only change their terminations and not thdr
roots are called ^^ regular Verbs'^ those which change their
roots ^^ irregular Verbs'
The Verbs ending in ^ôif^ are all irregular and the French
lanjûage therefore has in reality only three regular Conju-
gations :
The first Conjugation ends in "er".

The second Conjugation ends in ^îf\
The third Conjugation ends in 'ôir^\
The fourth Conjugation ends in "re".
The Past Participle is formed by adding to the root of the
first Conjugation an "^", to that of the second an "i", to the
fourth aii "u", as:
Donn-er, to give — donuS, given.

FiD-ir^ to finish — tini, finished.
Vend-re, to sell — vendu, sold.
