Verbs. Group 2. Conjugation in Present.
The most common French Verbs. Group 2. Conjugation in Present.
Most verbs in this group have the ending -ir.
When you conjugate a verb, you need to remove the -ir ending and add the following endings:
je/tu -is
il/elle/on -it
nous -issons
vous -issez
ils/elles -issent
So if the verb is in its neutral form (infinitive), the way you would see in a dictionary or online translation service, is finir (to finish), then it would look like this:
je |
finis |
ʒə fini |
I finish |
tu |
finis |
ty fini |
you finish |
il/elle/on |
finit |
il/ɛl/õ fini |
he/she/it finishes / we finish |
nous |
finissons |
nu finisõ |
we finish (formal we) |
vous |
finissez |
vu finise |
you finish (plural you or polite you) |
ils/elles |
finissent |
il/ɛlə finisə |
they finish |

bâtis |
ʒə bɑti |

he/she/it builds / we build |

vous |
bâtissez |
vu bɑtise |
