We add la cédille ( ç) for all subjects with -ai. Most notably: Manger (= to eat) → Nous mangeons (= we eat) → In l’imparfait: Je mangeais Nous mangions Tu mangeais Vous mangiez Elle mangeait Elles mangeaient
Verbs in -ger add an -e before the endings of l’imparfait, with all subjects except “ nous” and “ vous.” Basically, we don’t want to hear the hard “ g” sound that would appear with “ g + ais.” So we turn it into “- geais”
