celebrer accent change

Question

so is it that celebrer has the changing accent on the second e even though it is not e-er verb but an etwo letters er verb?/

Accepted Answer

HI Carol, 
I am not sure I understand your question completely but in the case of 'célébrer' , the second -e takes a grave accent to match its pronunciation in the following forms of the present tense -

je célèbre
tu célèbres 
il/elle/on célèbre
ils/elles célèbrent

But

nous célébrons
vous célébrez

Hope this helps!

Answer

Perhaps the rule for this lesson needs to state that 'in the case of 'célébrer' , the second -e takes a grave accent

Answer

I was wondering about this too, but I am guessing the space in the phrase e-er can account for more than one letter?
