Regular Verbs in the Present Tense

by admin

French has three groups of verbs with regular conjugations. 

They are usually identified by their infinitive endings: 

  • –er (parler, to speak, talk), 
  • –ir (choisir, to choose), 
  • –re (attendre, to wait for).

Regular French verbs are conjugated in person and number by adding six regular endings to the verb root or stem —the infinitive minus the ending:

  • parl-,
  • chois-,
  • attend-. 

Learn the model verb for each group and this will help you to conjugate most verbs.
