• Note grammaire:• The verb ouvrir (to open) ends in –ir, but it’s conjugated as

a regular verb-er verb. Drop the ir and add the ending –e, -es, -e, -ons, -ez,

• -ent. J’ouvre, tu ouvres, il/elle ouvre, nous ouvrons, vous ouvrez, ils/elles ouvrent.

• Do # 179, Act. 11• Language note: rouvrir is a form of the verb ouvrir with

the prefix re-, meaning again. But because ouvrir start with vowel, the –e is dropped. But we have réecrire, rhabiller, rasseoir, rassurer, réinventer.
