• In each family, phrases conjugate verbs in present tense such as Je fais + sport (I do + sport), Je ne fais pas + sport (I do not do + sport), Est-ce que je fais + sport (Do I do + sport).

• The families cover all forms: JE - TU - IL - NOUS - VOUS - ILS, providing comprehensive coverage of verb forms.
