§ 38. ON THE ORTHOGRAPHY OF A GREAT MANY VERBS OF THE FIRST

1. Verbs ending in _ger_, whenever through the tenses the _g_ comes in
contact with _a_ or _o_, insert an _e_ between them, as:
Nous changeons, _we change_. Je changeais, _I changed_.
2. Verbs ending in _yer_ change the _y_ to _i_ before _e_, _es_, _ent_,
as: _ennuyer_.
Je m'ennuie, _I am weary_. Je m'ennuierai, _I shall be weary_.
3. Verbs ending in _cer_, whenever through the tenses the _c_ comes in
contact with _a_ or _o_, it takes a cedilla (ç), as: _avancer_, etc.
J'avançais, _I advanced_. Nous commençons, _we begin_.
4. Verbs in _eter_ and _eler_ double the _t_ or _l_ when it comes before
_e_, _es_, _ent_, and the _erai_, _erais_ of the future and conditional,
as:
J'appelle, _I call_. Je jetterai, _I shall throw_.
