IRREGULAR VERBS - PRESENT TENSE LESSON OBJECTIVES • To practise conjugating irregular verbs, also called 3rd group verbs, in the present tense. REMINDER Contrary to regular verbs ending in -er and -ir, irregular verbs do not follow a conjugation pattern. Irregular verbs include those ending in -re such as apprendre (to learn), in -oir such as vouloir (to want), some ending in -ir such as courir (to run) as well as aller (to go) which, although ending in er, is highly irregular. Irregular verbs can have four different types of endings: 1. -s, -s, -t, -ons, -ez, -ent. This is the case for verbs such as courir, for example, which conjugates as follow: je cours (I run), tu cours, il court, nous courons, vous courez, ils courent 2. -s, -s, -d, -ons, -ez, ent This is the case for apprendre (to learn) or prendre (to take) for example, which conjugates as follow: je prends (I take), tu prends, il prend, nous prenons, vous prenez, ils prennent. 3. -x, -x, -t, -ons, -ez, -ent This is the case for verbs such as pouvoir (to be able to) or vouloir (to want), which conjugates as follow: je veux (I want), tu veux, il veut, nous voulons, vous voulez, ils veulent LEARNFRENCHWITHALEXA.COM | PAGE OF . 1 2 4. -e, -es, -e, -ons, -ez, -ent This is the case for couvrir (to cover) or ouvrir (to open), which conjugates as follow: j’ouvre (I open), tu ouvres, il ouvre, nous ouvrons, vous ouvrez, ils ouvrent As you can see, the stem can also changes. So it is best to learn these verbs by heart. Please refer to the various conjugation videos available on my channel to learn some of these verbs.
