OK, I have a big "exam" ready for you when you know all the -er, -ir, -re verbs I've sent you! If you have them all in your working vocabulary, you will have a GOOD foundation on verbs. You can let me know when you are ready for this exam or I can give you the IMPERATIVE/COMMANDS first. These will only be regular verbs. Then we will move on to the Present Tense of Irregular Verbs!
