Regular -ir verbs

Hi everyone :) Just like with the -er verbs, I'm going to show you the basic pattern for -ir verbs. We'll look at the example of finir, which means to finish.

Je finis
Tu finis
Il / Elle / on finit

Nous finissons
Vous finissez
Ils / Elles finissent (pronounced finisse. silent -ent)

Just as with -er verbs, you take the main bit of the verb (the stem), which is finir minus the last 2 letters (so fin) and add on the different endings depending on which person you're using.

Here's how it applies ot another regular -ir verb. Choisir, which means to choose.

Je choisis
Tu choisis
Il / Elle / on choisit

Nous choisissons
Vous choisissez
Ils / Elles choisissent  (again a silent -ent. pronounced choisisse)

The stem here is choisir minus the last 2 letters, so chois. You then add on the relevant endings. And that's all you have to do :)
