In French, an 'ER' verb is just a verb (a doing word) that ends in 'er'.
E.G. parler (to speak), jouer (to play), arriver (to arrive).
To form the present tense (for 'ER' verbs):1. Take your pronoun:
I - Je
You (singular) - Tu
He/she - Il/elle
We - Nous
You (plural) - Vous
They - Ils/elles
2. Take your verb, for example - 'parler' and take off the ending 'er' so you are left with the stem - parl
3. Add the following endings depending on which pronoun you have used:
Je - e
Tu - es
Il/elle - e
Nous - ons
Vous - ez
Ils/elles - ent
SO, for example, 'I speak' would be 'Je parle'.
