Verbes du trosième groupe (III)

Bonjour

Today we have to continue studying some of the rules of the third group.

As we studied before, the third group of the French group includes all the verbs that don’t follow the rules that are applied for the first and second group.  They are irregular.

However, in the present tense, most of the verbs from the third group usually end on these letters:

-s -s -t -ons -ez -ent

Verbs ending on like vendre, perdrem coudre, end like this

-ds -ds -d -ons -ez -ent

Excepting the verbs ending on –aindre, -eindre, -oindre, -soudre like craindre, peindre, joindre, résoudre which take these ending letters

-s -s -t -ons -ez –ent

The verbs pouvoir, vouloir and valoir end on the following terminations

-x -x -t -ons -ez -ent

The verbs ouvrir and cueillir are conjugated following the same rules of the verbs of the first group, which means that their terminations are:

-e -es -e -ons -ez -ent

Of course, these are just a few rules.  If you want to learn how to conjugate every single verb you have to read and practice your French day after day to memorize these new verbs you’ll find.

Verbes du troisième groupe (II)

Bon jour

Today we are going to continue studying how to conjugate the verbs of the Third Group in French.

In the previous lesson we have study the verbs of the Third Group ending on “Ir”.  Let’s continue studying some other rules that also are applied:

Verbs ending on « aître » and « oître »

These verbs have two different terminations.  The t on the ending doesn’t remain when you conjugate the verb but on the third person of the singular and you have to add a circumflex accent on the I (î) only before a t.

Let’s see how it works with the verb Paraître (appear, seem)

JE PARAIS

TU PARAIS

IL/ELLE PARAÎT

NOUS PARAISSONS

VOUS PARAISSEZ

ILS/ ELLES PARAISSENT

That's the new rule for today but we'll have to keep studying the verbs from the third group.

Keep practicing

Verbes du troisième groupe (I)

Salut

Today we are going to start studying the verbs of the Third group, also known as the irregular verbs.

Although the third group reunites different verbs that have their own way to be conjugated and there are a lot of rules to understand how to conjugate them, you can learn the most representative verbs of this groups to know how conjugate other similar verbs.

Verbs of the third group can end on: 

·         Ir

·         Oir

·         Re

In this lesson we are going to start working on the verbs ending on ir.  These verbs that doesn’t make part of the second group have a completely different way to be conjugated

Let’s see how we conjugate some verbs ending in –ir of the third group:

Subject	Courir (To Run)	Tenir (To Take)	Offrir (To Offer)	Mentir (To Lie)
Je	Cours	Tiens	Offrir	Mens
Tu	Cours	Tiens	Offres	Mens
Il/Elle	Court	Tient	Offre	Ment
Nous	Courons	Tenons	Offrons	Mentons
Vous	Courez	Tenez	Offrez	Mentez
Ils/Elles	Courent	Tiennent	Offrent	Mentent

As you can see, even if the verbs ending on Ir of the third group have some similarities, they are not conjugated the same.

However, you can use these examples to help you conjugate verbs that has the same root:

For example the verb Retenir (To Hold) is conjugated in a similar way as the verb tenir (je retiens, tu retiens, il reticent…).

You can find other French verbs ending on ir that has a similar root to apply the conjugation rule.

Good Luck
