seems like a mnemonic device to identify regular -ir verbs (2nd group) from irregular -ir verbs (part of 3rd group) but it sounds to me more like a trick destined to natives that naturally know how to conjugate verbs

im studing for an exam and they just added it
should i just memorize the words they used
thats what they put
zinc sentinel
what's really said is as simple as
regular -ir verbs (2d group) follow regular conjugations (-issons)
irregular -ir verbs (3rd group) don't follow regular conjugations (not -issons)
but it's a weird thing to add in a course not destined to natives...
autumn estuary
but if they ask me which is 3d group and all end in ir how will i know
zinc sentinel
that's the purpose of the trick: check the "nous" row. If it ends in -issons, it's regular (2d group)

they will give me some like this
re ik are third group
ir usually second
how can i find irregular
third
zinc sentinel
1st group is regular -er verbs
2d group is regular -ir verbs
3rd group is basically everything else
idk how useful the grouping really is
autumn estuary
how can i tell between third and second if both end in ir

it's conditional present, which is different from the present you might be used to (called indicative)
it's used for actions that may or may not take place, and would usually be translated using a model like "would"
autumn estuary
u recon i should just memorize the irregular ones in the book and questions onky?

zinc sentinel
I have => j'ai (indicative present, you're presenting information)
I would have => j'aurais (conditional present, there is a condition)

If you want to learn more about irregular -ir verbs, I recommend you give the article I linked a read
autumn estuary
there are 3 they gave us
courir vouloir and partir
those are the only 1s i found in the materiel
and my level in french is low not high lmao
zinc sentinel
there are 3 they gave us
if they gave you a list, maybe stick to it, it might be simpler.
Though you should also probably know pouvoir/avoir/devoir/venir as well, they're irregular as well
all of them might be in the top 10 most used verbs in French
autumn estuary
is everything that ends with oir irregular
zinc sentinel
yeah, I think so (voir/savoir as well)
autumn estuary
so should i memorize that all word that end with oir are irregular 3d
btw voir is oir aswell
zinc sentinel
I mean the ones I gave you are just really useful anyway, even if you're a beginner might as well learn them
avoir => have
pouvoir => can/be able to
devoir => must/have to
vouloir => want
savoir => know
voir => see
venir => come

should i memorize all oir are 3d irregular and that venir partir and courir are irregular
zinc sentinel
