[olive seal]

Conjugation, isn't it?
The ending -ons is specific to the first plural person (nous). It's pronounced with a nasal o (you pronounce the vowel through the nose).
And the ending -ent is specific to the third plural person (ils or elles). It's mute.
Nous parlons, ils/elles parlent.

Mute?

Word endings have been getting me really confused and those two were definitely big ones

[olive seal]

Yes. -ent is normally a nasal a but it's mute in conjugation. You don't pronounce it in parlent for example.

So, when yoy say "ils parlent anglais", you directly go from l in parlent to a in anglais.

*silent

[olive seal]

Yes, that.
