Conjugation of French verbs
One of the most difficult topic students finds when they learn French is how to conjugate French verbs.
Groups of verbs in French
First of all, let try to separate the problems. French verbs can be split into 3 groups:
- the first group: verbs that end with -er in the infinitive. They follow the pattern of parler for example. They are regular!
- the second group: verbs that end with -ir in the infinitive. They follow the pattern of finir for example. They are also regular!
-the third group: verbs that are not part of the first group or the second group, they follow very different patterns. As you may understand, they are irregular verbs!
Resources to learn how to conjugate French verbs
I usually recommend this website -http://www.leconjugueur.com/ – to learn and review third group verbs. (You should be able to conjugate first group and second group verbs without any problem.)
Whatever your level, French conjugation is a difficult topic. Make sure you know by heart the most common ones.
Good luck!
I want to thank the blogger very much not only for this post but also for his all previous efforts. I found live-french.net to be very interesting. I will be coming back to live-french.net for more information.
