Note
The -es ending follows the rule for verbs ending in -ch: french becomes frenches and gains a syllable, as reach becomes reaches. One form serves every sense of the verb, whether a cook is cutting beans into strips, a butcher is trimming a rack bare, or someone is kissing. In the kissing sense it can take an object or stand alone. The capitalized spelling Frenches is an accepted alternative.
