GROUP VERBS
(-IR)
Verbs with infinitives ending in -ir form a second group of regular verbs in French,
often called second conjugation verbs.
Second group verbs always end with "-ir" as their infinitive. For example:
To conjugate ir verbs in the present tense, drop the -ir from the infinitive and
add the second conjugation present tense endings : -is, -is, -it, -issons, -issez,
-issent.
Je
-is
Tu
-is
Il/elle
-it
Nous
-issons
Vous
-issez
Ils/elles
-issent
Second group verbs are called "verbes en -issons" since their ending is
always issons in the first person plural (Ex. Nous finissons).
