I am just attempting to put together some resources for you to use :)! Feel free (and encouraged!) to add your own resources, recommend yourself, translate this post, etc!

Conjugation Rules in French

1. Verb groups

There are three groups of verbs in French. The first one ends with –er, the second with –ir, and the third with –re, -oir, and –ir. These groups basically determine how the verbs are conjugated. For the most part, you can tell with group the verb belongs to just by looking at the ending, but in the case of –ir verbs, it’s a little trickier. The difference between second-group –ir and third-group –ir is the ending of the participe présent (present participle, a.k.a verbs ending in –ing): second-group verbs end in –issant, while third-group verbs end in –ant.

The third group is the one with all the irregular verbs, so it’s better to check the conjugation just to be sure.

2. Verb radicals

First group

For the present and imperfect tenses, the radical is the verb without the ending.

e.g.: aim- for aimer, parl- for parler

For the future and conditional tenses, the radical is the same as the verb.

e.g.: aimer- for aimer, parler- for parler

Second group

For the present tense, the radical is the verb with the r.

e.g.: fini- for finir, guéri- for guérir

For the imperfect tense, the radical is the same as the present tense, but you also add ss to it.

e.g.: finiss- for finir, guériss- for guérir

For the future and conditional tenses, the radical is the same as the verb.

e.g.: finir- for finir, guérir- for guérir

Third group (there are exceptions everywhere)

-re

For the present and imperfect tenses, the radical is the verb without the ending.

e.g.: vend- for vendre, prend- for prendre

For the future and conditional tenses, the radical is the verb with the r.

e.g.: vendr- for vendre, prendr- for prendre

-ir

For the present and imperfect tenses, the radical is the verb without the ending.

e.g.: ouvr- for ouvrir, ment- for mentir

For the future and conditional tenses, the radical is the same as the verb.

e.g.: ouvrir- for ouvrir, mentir- for mentir

HOWEVER there are exceptions for the –ir verbs

For the present and imperfect tenses, the radical is the verb without the three last letters.

e.g.: sor- for sortir, dor- for dormir

-oir

These are all irregular and you should look them up.

e.g.: savoir, pouvoir, recevoir

Present: sa- (je/tu/il)/ sav- (nous/vous/ils) for savoir, peu- (je/tu/il)/ pouv- (nous/vous/ils) for pouvoir, rec/reç (je/tu/il)/ recev- (nous/vous/ils) for recevoir

Imperfect: sav- for savoir, pouv- for pouvoir, recev- for recevoir

Future and Conditional: saur- for savoir, pourr- for pouvoir, recevr- for recevoir
