Verbs Change by the Person

Verb forms change depending on who or what is the subject of the action. In grammatical terms, this is referred to as "person".

For example, if I am the subject of the verb, the verb takes a "first-person" form. If you are the subject, the verb takes a "second-person" form.

Below are the six different person types along with the French subject pronouns of those persons.

First Person
je	I
Second Person
tu	you (informal)
Third Person
il	he; it (masculine)
elle	she; it (feminine)
First Person Plural
nous	we; us
Second Person Plural
vous	you (plural, informal); you (singular, formal)
Third Person Plural
ils	they (neutral); they (masculine)
elles	they (feminine)
