II. FORMATION OF NEW VERBS FROM NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES

The majority of newly-formed verbs are derived from nouns and adjectives ; those formed from nous, as a rule, go by the first conjugation, and those formed from adjectives by the second. In examining the formation of new verbs it is corvenient to divide them into two classes : 1. Verbs formed simply by the terminations -er and -ér, and 2. Verbs formed by special suffixes.
