We do?

In a way -- I'm referring to how a lot of the forms sound the same but have to be written differently -- e.g. parle vs. parles.

Verb forms' frequently being homophones is really not the same thing as their not being conjugated when spoken.

If all verb forms were homophones then it would be exactly the same thing. French still hasn't gone so far.
