Conjugation: le présent
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
(to end), ends as follows:
finir ![]() |
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
(to pale) is another 2nd group verb:
blêmir ![]() |
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 |
