Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

why are they different
They're irregular verbs (except for mettre)

raven dune
#

there are 3 conjugation groups :

  • 1st group (verbs in -er)
  • 2nd group (verbs in -ir)
  • 3rd group (ALL THE REST)

The first two groups have defined terminaisons, whereas the 3rd group is more case-to-case (not 100% really)
But you can't split the 3rd group into other groups (like verbs in -re)

We don't learn with the french groups cuz they're not very useful for learners

It's still cool to know ofc but the usual way is by endings

#

  1. Regular -er

  2. Semi-regular -er (changes due to pronunciation rules)

  3. Aller

  4. Regular -ir

  5. Irregular -ir

  6. Regular -re

  7. Irregular -re

(most -re verbs are irregular or are part of smaller groups)

#

The more you go down, the less regular it is

#

also you posted "vouloir" and "pouvoir" for -ir verbs. Just to clarify, those are not regular -ir verbs, they're very irregular.

#

you have to know them, that's why they're irregular
but tbf, most irregular verbs are some of the most common verbs anyway, so you should get familiar with most of them pretty quickly (except -re verbs, you can just assume most of them are)

#

aller, avoir, dire, être, pouvoir, savoir, vouloir, faire, falloir, voir
are the most important ones to know
