[noble quest]

Yes -er verbs can have liaison in formal or literary pronunciation

« Je vais aller‿à la plage »

[unkempt pollen]

what about words like chanter?

or what about -ir or -re verbs or irregular ones?

[noble quest]

all other verbs end in regularly pronounced consonants

« chanter » is just any regular -er verb so it counts in what I said about them

[unkempt pollen]

no i meant as in conjugated verbs with liaison with S in fais, or the consonant in Chantais, etc.

[viscid forge]

Liaisons after verb forms are all optional (except with inverted pronouns where they're mandatory). Liaisons after être and avoir are more common than with other verbs, but they're still optional.

I recall that somewhere I read that liaisons are forbidden after singular verbs, but optional with plural? Is this misinformation?
