Second group verbs (ir)

You have learned how to use 1st group verbs. Let's see the 2nd group. It is a bit more complicated but I am sure you will succeed!

Allons-y ! (Let's go!).

2nd group verbs, such as finir Audio. Press to listen! (to end), ends as follows:

finir Audio. Press to listen! to end/finish
je finis I end
tu finis you end
il finit he ends
nous finissons we end
vous finissez you end
ils finissent they end

NB: "finis" and "finit" should be pronounced exactly the same: do NOT pronounce the final "s" or "t".

2nd group verbs are called "verbes en -issons" since their ending is ALWAYS issons in the first person plural (ex: finissons).

blêmir Audio. Press to listen! (to pale) is another 2nd group verb:

blêmir Audio. Press to listen! to pale
je blémis I pale
tu blémis you pale
il blémit he pales
nous blémissons we pale
vous blémissez you pale
ils blémissent they pale
