French Spelling Change Verbs: Rules, Examples, andConjugation Practice

—— Verbs like exercer change from c to ç
French spelling change verbs follow regular conjugation patterns but modify their spelling in certain forms to maintain correct pronunciation.
For verbs ending in -cer, the letter -c changes to -ç before -a or -o for pronunciation purposes. Therefore, in the imperfect tense, this change occurs in the forms je, tu, il/elle, ils/elles, whose endings begin with a.
Understanding these spelling change rules helps you conjugate similar verbs such as :

commencer exercer prononcer recommencer annoncer déplacer lancer menacer concurrencer avancer
