The group of verbs known as “Ir verbs” comprises the second largest group of verbs in the French language, and so conjugating them is very important. Verbs with infinitives ending in -Ir form a second group of regular verbs in French, often called ‘second conjugation’ verbs. To conjugate these verbs, in present tense, drop the -ir from the infinitive and add the second conjugation present tense endings: -is, -is, -it, -issons, -issez, -issent. The singular and plural forms of the third person are clearly distinguishable (finit vs.finissent). Listen to the video to practice these verbs in sentences:
