ETER, EXER, ELER Confusion

Charles B.C1Kwiziq community member

I agree with others that this lesson is very confusing. There’s no explanation as to why jeter and appeler are different from the other eTer and eLer verbs discussed in the section above them (lever, acheter). I think this has to do with how the present tense is spelled, but some more explicit explanation would be helpful. Further, the very top section (I realize I’m moving from bottom to top) gives accent rules for ALL eXer verbs, so what comes below is confusing because it appears there are exceptions and we’re not told why. Thanks for any help in clarifying this.

This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate -éXer, -eXer, -eter, -eler verbs in the future tense in French (Le Futur Simple)"
