m PREFACE. 
 
 Many persons, who are anxiously exerting them- 
 selves to acquire a knowledge of the French Language, 
 have repeatedly expressed to the author, a desire that 
 there should be some easy mode of getting rapidly over 
 the numerous difficulties, in the conjugation of verbs, as 
 well as in the choice and employment of the various pre- 
 positions annexed to them. It is accordingly to meet 
 their wishes, and to fill up a vacuum in that branch 
 of instruction, that he has combined in the shape of a 
 dictionary, as far as may be, all the peculiarities res- 
 pecting the whole department of the Verb. 
 
 As a mere glance at the following index will, he 
 trusts, be sufficient to give the student a full idea of the 
 plan proposed in this book, together with the advantages 
 that ma^ be derived from it, he need only turn to the 
 page, and then proceed to his task.

 When two cyphers come together upon a diphthong or a single 
 vowel^ and are joined by a hyphen (6-1)., they denote two sounds, 
 which, though closely connected, ought to be both distinctly heard 5 
 as in moi, moo-aw; soyez, soo-aw-ee-a, &c.

 All letters, either vowels or consonants, which are printed in 
 Italics, are silent, and ought not to be sounded. 
 
^ INTRODUCTORY 
 
 01' elks, they; with which it ought to agree in person 
 and number. But in order easily to ascertain where 
 and what is the subject of the verb in a sentence, the 
 following question : wJio is it who, or what is it which, 
 must be made on it, and the word in answer to the 
 question, after having repeated the verb, proves to be 
 the subject of it. Ex : 
 
 Le disciple ecoute le maitre, the pupil listens to the master. 
 JSlle m'aime, she loves me. 
 
 Let us ask the question : who is it who listens to the 
 master? The answer will be: the disciple. Disciple is 
 then the subject of the verb to listen to. — Let us ask 
 again : who is it who loves me ? the answer being : she, 
 we evidently see the pronoun is the subject of the verb, 
 to love. 
 
 THE VERBe 
 
 The Verb is a word which varies in the personal 
 
 forms which it assumes in order to express the state of 
 
 being or acting of either a person or a thing, at the diffe- 
 rent epochs of its existence. Ex : 
 
 J*aime, I love ; j*ahnais, I did ]o\e ; j'aimai, I loved; faimerai, 
 I shall love ; quHl aime, that he may love ; que vous aimassiez, that 
 you might love ; elle aimer ait, she would love. (See the conjugations.) 
 
 There are six sorts of verbs to be distinguished in 
 French, viz: P. The Auxiliary (such as avoir and etix) 
 thus called from their being always employed in the con- 
 jugation of all other verbs, which are : 2^. The Active 
 Verbs, (like aimer, voir, to love, to see.) S*^. The 
 Neuter Verbs (like monter, nager, to go up, to swim) ; 
 4°. The Passive Verbs, (like, je suis aimi, je suis fiattk. 
 
DEFINITIONS. «J 
 
 I am loved, I am flattered); 5°. The Reflected Verbs, 
 called also pronominal verbs, (like se promener, se 7-epentir, 
 to wd\k, to repent;) 6^ The Unipersonal Verbs, (like 
 ilfaiit, il If a, it is necessary, there is or are.) 
 
 THE ACTIVE VERBS. 
 
 The Active Verbs are those, the action of v^^hich is 
 immediately directed upon persons or things, v^ithout the 
 assistance of a preposition; as in these sentences: to kill 
 a bird, tuer un oiseau ; to tame a fox, apprivoiser un re- 
 nardy &c. 
 
 A verb may be know^n to be active when you can 
 add to it the w^ords : quelquun, somebody ; or quelque chose, 
 something. Ex : 
 
 Voir quelqu'un, to see somebody ; donner quelque chose, to give 
 something". 
 
 These words quelquun and quelque chose are acted 
 upon by the verbs voir and donner, and consequently show 
 these verbs to be active. Recollect that all active verbs 
 take the auxiliary avoir to have, in their compounds. 
 
 THE NEUTER VERBS. 
 
 The neuter verbs are those to which you cannot add 
 the words somebody, or something, unless preceded by 
 one of these prepositions a, de, par, pour, sur, en, &c. 
 which will thus come between the verb and the object 
 somebody or something. These expressions being the 
 direct object of the preposition that is prefixed to them, 
 will in consequence be the indirect object of the 
 verb. Thus, all neuter verbs, having no direct object, 
 shall always have their participle past invariable ; as 
 
 1* 
 
4 ^^^^^F INTRODUCTORY 
 
 for their auxiliary in the compound tenses, tfiey re- 
 quire the verb avoir, to have, except a fevsr of them which 
 require the verb etre, to be. (See the alphabetical table 
 of the neuter verbs.) 
 
 THE PASSIVE VERBS. 
 
 A Passive Verb is nothing but a mere periphrase, a 
 sort of sentence construed with the participle past from 
 some active verb preceded by one of the simple tenses^ 
 from the verb to be, either expressed or understood, 
 Passive verbs are generally followed by one of these pre- 
 positions de or par, of, with, or by ; and can have no auxi- 
 liary but the verb ^tre, which is itself conjugated with 
 the auxiliary avoir, to have, in its compounds ; as : je 
 suis battu, I am beaten ; fai et^ battu, I have been beaten. 
 It is to be observed that the participle past of the verb 
 that becomes passive, ought always to agree in gender 
 and number with its subject. Ex : 
 
 lis sontfrappes, Ihey are struck ; elle est admiree, she is admired. 
 
 THE REFLECTED VERBS. 
 
 We call reflected and also pronominal verbs, those 
 which require two pronouns, the one of which is the 
 subject, and the other always stands for its generally 
 direct and sometimes indirect object, as may be seen in 
 the following instances : je me Jiatte, I flatter myself; il 
 se park, he speaks to himself. (In the former instance 
 me is a direct, and in the latter se for a soi is an indirect 
 object of the verb.) The reflected verbs have their infini- 
 tive always preceded by the indefinite pronoun se, one's- 
 self ; while in other tenses, each personal pronoun which 
 
DEFINITIONS. 
 
 is the subject, must be accompanied by its fellow pronoun 
 in the objective case; as: Je me, I myself; tu te, thou 
 thyself; il se, elle se, he himself, she herself; notes nous, 
 we ourselves ; vous vous, you yourselves ; Us se, elks se, 
 they themselves ; on se, one one's self (always singular.) 
 In the compound tenses of these verbs, which invariably 
 take the auxiliary etre, to be ; the pronouns me, te, se, 
 nous, vous, se, come before the auxiliary, and the parti- 
 ciple past ought always to agree in gender and number 
 with the person or pronoun which is the subject of the 
 verb. Thus we write, elle s'est flatUe, she has flattered 
 herself; nous nous sommes vus, we have seen ourselves. 
 
 THE UNIPERSONAL VERBS. 
 
 By this appellation Unipersonal we mean those verbs 
 which are only used in the third person singular. They 
 are always preceded by the indefinite and neuter pro- 
 noun il, it, which relates neither to a person nor to a 
 thing. Ilpleut, it rains ; ilntgeait, it did snow ; il y aura, 
 there will be ; ilfaudrait, it would be necessary ; are uni- 
 personal verbs. Their auxiliary in compounds is avoir, 
 to have ; as il a plu, it has rained, &c. 
 
 THE OBJECT, 
 
 We have already mentioned two sorts of objects ; the 
 one called the Direct, and the other the Indirect object. 
 
 THE DIRECT OBJECT. 
 
 By this word may be understood the noun or pronoun, 
 
6 INTRODUCTORY 
 
 or even the infinitive and sometimes also the whole part 
 of the sentence on which the action is immediately di- 
 rected by the verb without the medium of a preposition. 
 Thus when I say : I understand the French language, 
 je comprends le frangais ; the words French language are 
 the direct object, because they receive the immediate 
 action of the verb to understand. 
 
 When we wish to ascertain where or what is the 
 direct object of a verb, we need only ask a question 
 through that verb, and the answer to our question shall 
 be the direct object itself; thus if we wish to know where 
 the object is in these sentences : jai cherchd mon parapluiey 
 I have looked for my umbrella; les enfants que vous avez 
 instruits, the children whom you have instructed ; je vou- 
 lais contiiiuer, I wished to go on ; elles avaient cru que nous 
 riio7is, they had thought that we were laughing, &c. Let 
 us ask the questions : quest-ce que jai cherchd, what did 
 I look for ? the answer is : mon parapluie, and conse- 
 quently the direct object of chercher, to look for. If we 
 proceed in the other sentences, we shall find that que 
 (meaning the children) ; continuer ; que nous riions, are the 
 direct objects of the y erhs instruire, vouloir and croire, to 
 instruct, to wish, and to believe. 
 
 THE INDIRECT OBJECT. 
 
 The indirect object of a verb is the noun or pronoun, 
 on which the verb cannot act immediately, but only by 
 means of one of the following prepositions, a, de, pour, sur, 
 avec, en (meaning of it, him, her, or them), y (meaning 
 to it, him, her or them.) 
 
DEFINITIONS. 7 
 
 1 St. Example : vous en souviendrez-vous ? will you 
 remember it ? en means of it, (de celd), and is the indi- 
 rect object oi se souvenir through the preposition de, of. 
 
 2nd. Example : nous irons a la campagne, we shall 
 go into the country. By asking a question : ou irons-nous, 
 where shall we go ? the answer, which is country, is evi- 
 dently the indirect object of the verb to go, through the 
 preposition a, into ; by which it is preceded. 
 
THE PAKTICIPLES. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 THE PARTICIPLES EXPLAINED IN ONLY TWO RULES. 
 
 The participles, such as : aimant, loving ; aimd, loved ; 
 in the verb aimer, to love, are two different variations of 
 the same verb ; or it is rather the verb itself, which being 
 in want of personal forms, either in the phrase or in the 
 conjugation, appears there under the shape of an adjec- 
 tive sometimes variable, and sometimes invariable. 
 
 Those verbal forms are called participles, because 
 they partake of both the verb and the adjective, that is 
 to say, they participate in representing the verb, some- 
 times by the idea of its action under the shape of an adjec- 
 tive invariable, as in this phrase : les hommes aimant la 
 vertu ont evit6 la perversity, men loving virtue have shunned 
 perversity; and sometimes representing the verb by the 
 idea of a mere manner of being, under the form of a va- 
 riable adjective : la vertu qu'ils ont aim6e, et la pervei^sitd 
 quils ont evit^e, virtue which they have loved, and per 
 versity which they have shunned. These words aim^e, 
 loved ; dvitde, shunned ; are two participles, which re 
 present the two verbs aimer, to love, and iviter, to shun, , 
 under the shape of a variable adjective. 
 
 ^1 
 
THE PAllTICIPLE PRESENT, 
 
 distinguish two 
 
 Hence 
 
 sorts of participles ; the par- 
 ticiple present, and the par-"^ 
 ticiple past. 
 
 The present participles, which are also 
 called active; as ahnant, loving ; ^wi5- 
 sant, finishing ; recevant, receiving ; 
 rejidant, rendering ; end always in ant, 
 and remain invariable. 
 
 The past participles, which are also 
 called passive, as aime, loved ; fini, 
 finished; regu, received; rendu, ren- 
 dered ; have various terminations, sonie- 
 , times variable, and sometimes invariable. 
 
 Now with respect to the agreement or disagreement 
 of participles ; as they are sometimes dependent on the 
 subject and sometimes on the object, according to the 
 accidental construction of the phrase, and according to 
 the sort of verb which they represent, we are going to 
 explain the two rules for the participle present. 
 
 THE PARTICIPLE PRESENT 
 INVARIABLE. 
 
 Every partieiple present is in- 
 variable in a phrase where it 
 serves to qualify the noun by the 
 mere idea of the action of the verb, 
 which it always represents there. 
 
 Ex : if we say : 
 
 Les hommes ignorant la lot, et 
 mendiant les suffrages. Men 
 being ignorant of the law, and 
 begging the suffrages. 
 
 The two participles ignorant and 
 mendiant, are invariable, because 
 they represent the accidental and 
 not usual action of the two verbs. 
 The men are not ignorant of every 
 
 THE PARTICIPLE PRESENT 
 VARIABLE. 
 
 When a participle present comes 
 from a neuter or even an active 
 verb, which has no object in the 
 phrase, that is to say no noun or 
 pronoun on which it may act, but 
 is merely used in order to convey 
 the idea expressed by the action 
 of the verb, then, it assumes the 
 character of an adjective, which is 
 called verbal ; agrees with the 
 subject, and consequently becomes 
 variable. Ex : 
 
 Une etoile brillante de clarte, a 
 star brilliant with brightness. 
 
 The word brillante, though it 
 
 o 
 
10 
 
 thini 
 thin< 
 
 THE PARTICIPLE PAST. 
 nor do thev be 
 
 ;g every 
 
 comes from hriller^ is used as an 
 adjective and not as a participle ; 
 and ought to be termed a verbal 
 adjective rather than a participle 
 present. 
 
 THE PARTICIPLE PAST. 
 
 The participles past or passive, such as aimCy loved ; 
 
 Jini, finished ; regu, received ; rendu, rendered ; are per- 
 sonal forms v^hich vary in their respective verbs, aimer, 
 
 Jinir, recevoir, rendre, and are reduced to the state of 
 adjectives, sometimes variable and sometimes invariable. 
 
 Rule for the invariability of the 
 participle past. 
 
 Every participle past which is 
 construed with the verb avoir, to 
 have ; either expressed or under- 
 stood, or with the verb etie, to be, 
 used for avoir^ is invariable in the 
 sentence, when it has no direct 
 object, as well as when it is placed 
 before the noun or pronoun, which 
 it immediately acts upon, unless it 
 be followed by a verb of which the 
 action is made by the object itself. 
 
 Rule for the variability/ of the 
 participle past. 
 
 The participle past or passive is 
 variable in the phrase, when it is 
 placed after a noun or pronoun 
 which it immediately qualifies, un« 
 less it be followed there by a verb 
 the action of which is not made by 
 the direct object : the participle 
 past is still variable, whatever its 
 place may be, when it is employed 
 with the verb to be, either expressed 
 or understood, acting for itself, and 
 not for the verb to have. 
 
 The comparison being made of the following instances, 
 written in two opposite columns, (the one for the invaria- 
 bility, and the other for the variability), will make the 
 above difference between the two rules more comprehen- 
 sible. 
 
THE PARTICIPLE PAST. 
 
 il 
 
 PAST PARTICIPLES FROM ACTIVE VERBS, 
 
 INSTANCES OF INVARIABILITY. 
 
 Les Frangais out remport^ la 
 victoire. The French h?iwe gained 
 the victory. 
 
 Q. What have the French gained ? 
 
 A. The victory (direct object). 
 
 The participle past remporte 
 being placed before the direct 
 object, must be invariable. 
 
 Ma sceur a achet^ les fieurs que 
 vous avez vu replanter. My sister 
 has bought the flovyers which you 
 have seen planted again. 
 
 1st Q, What has been bought? 
 A. The flowers (direct object). 
 
 2nd Q. What did you see ? A. 
 Them planted again. 
 
 .3rd Q. What did they plant again ? 
 A. Que (representing flowers). 
 
 The first participle achete is in- 
 variable on account of its being 
 placed before its object. The second 
 is also invariable because it is not 
 the verb voir, from whence it comes, 
 that acts upon the object flowers. 
 
 INSTANCES OF VARIABILITY, 
 
 La victoire a ete remport^e par 
 les Frangais, the victory has been 
 gained by the French. 
 
 Q. What has been gained by the 
 French ? A. the victory (direct 
 object). 
 
 The participle past remportee 
 being placed after the direct object^ 
 must be variable. 
 
 Les fieurs quails ont achetees se 
 sont ^panouies le meme jour, the 
 flowers which they have bought, 
 have expanded on the same day. 
 
 1st Q. What have they bought ? 
 A. the flowers, (represented by the 
 word qii'' or lesquelles), 
 
 2nd Q. What did expand? A. the 
 flowers, (represented by the pro- 
 noun se, themselves). 
 
 The two past participles achetees 
 and epanouies, being placed after 
 their direct objects qu^ and se, 
 must be variable. 
 
 PAST PARTICIPLES FROM REFLECTED VERBS. 
 
 Elles se sont nui, they have an- 
 noyed themselves. 
 
 (The verb nuire is a neuter verb, 
 which requires the preposition a, 
 to, in frcnch ; and the verb etre, 
 to be ; is used for the verb avoir, 
 to have). 
 
 Elles se sont amus^es, they have 
 amused themselves. 
 
 (The verb etre, to be ; is used 
 instead of the verb avoir, to have ; 
 because reflected verbs require the 
 verb etre in their compounds). 
 
 Q. Whom did they amuse ? A. 
 
 2* 
 
12 
 
 THE PAUTICIPLE PAST. 
 
 Q. Thoy have w?i», to whom ; 
 A. se (for a soi, a elles, to them- 
 selves). 
 
 Since the participle past can never 
 agree with an indirect object, it 
 must be invariable. 
 
 Elles se sont imaging que nous 
 riions, they have fancied that we 
 did laugh. 
 
 {Se sont imagine, means, have 
 fancied in themselves), 
 
 Q. What have they fancied ? 
 A. that we did laugh. 
 
 The participle past being placed 
 before a complement, which is con- 
 sidered as its object, must be in- 
 variable. 
 
 se (for elles, themselves ; direct 
 object). 
 
 In this instance the participle 
 past, being placed before its direct 
 object, must be variable. 
 
 Les moyens qu^clles s'etaient 
 imagines ont reussi, the means 
 vAnch they had imagined have 
 succeeded. 
 
 (Etre is here used for avoir, they 
 had imagined iw themselves), 
 
 Q. What had they imagined ? 
 A. que (for lesquels, which ; re- 
 presenting j/jeaw^, the direct object). 
 
 The participle past is placed after 
 its direct object, and must be 
 variable. 
 
 PAST PARTICIPLES USED WITH EN. 
 
 Voild les consequences qu'ils ont 
 pretendu en tirer, those are the 
 consequences they pretended to 
 derive from it. 
 
 1st Q. What did they pretend } 
 A. to derive. 
 
 2nd, Q. And what v/as to be 
 derived? A. the consequences. 
 
 The very object of the participle 
 pretendu being the verb tirer, the 
 participle which comes before it 
 must be invariable. 
 
 Void les consequences qu*on en 
 a tiroes apres hien des discussions, 
 these are the consequences which 
 have been derived from it, after a 
 long debate. 
 
 Q. What did they derive ? A. qu* 
 (meaning the consequences, direct 
 object). 
 
 The participle past, tirees being 
 placed after the direct object que or 
 consequences, must be variable. 
 
 PAST PARTICIPLES UNIPERSONALLY USED. 
 
 They must always be invariable, because the subject 
 (i/, it), to which they relate, is always an indefinite 
 pronoun in the sentence. 
 
THE PARTICIPLE PAST, 13 
 
 EXAMPLES: 
 
 II s^est assemble une foule de gens armes sur la place ; there have 
 assembled a crowd of armed people on the square. 
 
 11 s^etait glisse beaucoup de fautes dans cette premiere edition ; 
 many faults had slipped into this first edition. 
 
 Combien de lettres et de visiles il nous 4tait survenu ! How many 
 letters and visits had come to us unexpected ! 
 
 Que de pluie n'est-\\ pas tomb^ Za semaine derniere / How much 
 rain has not fallen last week. 
 
 II y a eu beaucoup de morts aux trots journees de Juillet^ 1830; 
 there have been a great many dead during the three days of July, 1830. 
 
 EXAMPLES OF PAST PARTICIPLES 
 
 Made invariable by the relative pronoun que, being preceded by 
 some jjreposition which is understood, 
 
 Les jours que (pendant lesquels) j'ai vecu dans l^exil ; the days 
 during which I lived in exile. 
 
 Tons les momens quit f pendant lesquels J il a souffert du cholera 
 morbus ; all the while he has suffered from the cholera morbus. 
 
 PAST PARTICIPLES 
 
 Followed by an infinitive to which one of the prepositions a or de 
 
 has been prefixed. 
 
 La legon que vous avez oubli^ 
 A^apprendre, the lesson which you 
 forgot to learn. 
 
 ist Q. What did you forget ? A. 
 to learn. 
 
 2nd Q. What were you to learn > 
 A. the lesson. 
 
 Lesson, not being the direct object 
 of the participle past oublie, cannot 
 make it variable. 
 
 La legon que je vous at donn^e 
 a apprendre, the lesson which I 
 have given you to be learned. 
 
 Q. What have I given you ? A. 
 the lesson, (represented by que, 
 the direct object). 
 
 The participle past donnee, must 
 be variable, since it is preceded by 
 its object, the lesson. 
 
14 
 
 THE PARTICIPLE PAST. 
 
 PAST PARTICIPLES, 
 
 Whe7i used with one or several adverbs of quantify. 
 
 Que d'eau ont-ils repandu ! how 
 much water did they spill ! 
 
 The word que is used here as 
 an adverb, therefore the participle 
 cannot agree with it. 
 
 Combien de creme elle avait 
 mang^ ! what a great deal of cream 
 she had eaten ! 
 
 The past participle is invariable 
 on account of the indefinite sense of 
 the phrase. 
 
 Quelle eau ont-ils repandue ? 
 What water did they spill ? 
 
 Quelle being here a pronoun of 
 the feminine gender, and the direct 
 object of the participle which it 
 precedes, causes it to be variable. 
 
 Que de livres il avait lus ! How 
 many books he had read ! 
 
 The past participle is variable 
 here, because the number of the 
 books read can be limited. 
 
 As a recapitulatory rule we may establish, that the 
 participle past of any verb which has a direct object, must 
 agree with it in gender and number, provided it be pre- 
 ceded, instead of being followed by it. 
 
 Now the only difficulty consists in ascertaining 
 whether there is any object or none at all : if there is 
 any, to find out its position before or after the participle 
 past of which it is the government. 
 
 In order easily to remove that difficulty, you need 
 only ask a question, and the answer will invariably be 
 the object looked for. 
 
 NoTA. — We shall end this treatise upon participles 
 by collecting together all verbs in which they constantly 
 remain invariable. See the alphabetical table of those verbs.

 Not A. — All those pronouns which are called the 
 direct or indirect government or objects of verbs, ought to be 
 prefixed, and keep invariably close to them or their 
 auxiliary in compound tenses, whatever may be the 
 conjugation, either affirmative, negative, or interrogative. 
 We must, however, except from this rule, the second 
 persons singular and plural, and the first person plural 
 in the imperative, when the sentence is affirmative. 
 
 It is necessary to observe : 
 
 1. That in the affirmative conjugation the pronouns je, fw, «7, elU, 
 &c. must precede the verb. Ex : je parte ^ I speak. 
 
 2. That in the negative conjugation the pronouns je, tu, it, &c, 
 are followed by n?" before the verb. Ex : je ne parle pas ; I do not speak. 
 
 3. That in the interrogative affirmative, the proBouns jV, &c. come 
 after the verb to which they are joined by a hyphen. Ex : parle-je ? do 
 I speak ? 
 
 4. And that in the conjugation both negative and interrogative, the 
 pronouns jV, fw, &c. retain the same place after the verb, whilst the 
 negative ne keeps in its place before it ; the second part of the negative 
 pa*, stands always after the verb, and the pronouns je, tu, il, &c. 
 which are affixed to it. Ex : ne parle-je pas 9 do I not speak ? 
 
 The very same order must be observed with the 
 auxiliary in the compound tenses.

 * All verbs having c before the termination er, must have a cedilla, viz. (f) under ^that 
 ', in order to soften its hard pronunciation before the vowels a, o, as in il plaga, nous plagdmes, 
 wus plagdtes, from placer, to place ; and in nous plagons, we place ; from the same verb. The 
 ame thing must be done with verbs ending in cevoir, as recevoir, to receive ; v/hen the c is 
 bllowed by o or u, as in je regois, je regus, I receive, I received : but verbs ending in ecer 
 ike depiecer, to cut to pieces ; the acute accent ( ' ) of the letter e must be changed into a grave 
 iccent (- ), when it is followed by a mute syllable, as mje depiece. The same rule must be observed 
 or verbs ending in eder, eger, egner, eguer, erer, eser, or eser, eter, ever, or ever, 
 
 t As to verbs in eler, ener, eter (with e mute), we double the letters I, n, t in conjugating^

 X All verbs in ger preserve their e before a or o in conjugating ; that the g, which then 
 should be hard, may retain the soft sound of a^', which it has in the infinitive. 
 
 § In verbs in ier, by the the letter i, we double that letter in the first and second persons 
 plural of the imperfect, indicative, and of the present subjunctive (iions, iiez) . 
 
 II Verbs in ayer, eyer, oyer, uyer, are conjugated like payer, to pay ; but the verbs rayer, 
 to erase ; and delayer, to dilute ; as well as their compounds, always preserve their y instead 
 of taking an i. '- ^

 * In the compound tenses of the verb s'en aller, to go aw^ay ; we make use of the verb eifre 
 to be ; which we place after the three pronouns ; thus, it is not correct to say : je me suis en 
 alle ; we ought to say : je m'en suis alle; tu t'en es alle; il s'en est alls ; nous nous en somm 
 alles, &c. because the place of these three pronouns, je, me, en, is before the verb etre. 
 
 t In verbs which end in ler, as appeler, it is indiiferent to put only one I, where two II 
 are required, provided there be a grave accent ( - ) on the preceding e : thus we write fappellt 
 or j'appele, &c.

 X Verbs which are called ;3rowomznaZ or reflected, are conjugated w^ith two pronouns of the 
 same kind, as s'asseoir, to sit down ; these two pronouns are always repeated before the verb ; 
 they are je, me or m', tu te, or f, il or elle se or s' ; nous nous, vous vous, ils or elles se or s' ; 
 in compound tenses these verbs take the auxiliary to he, etre ; instead of to have, avoir ; thus 
 instead of saying, (;e m'ai assis, which means I myself have seated), we say: (je me suis assis, 
 or assise, that is to say, I myself am seated), see the verb e^re.
