French verbs of the 2nd group. Verbs I, II and III groups

The verbs of the second group have, regular verbs which end in -ir in the infinitive:

Choisir; grand ir; flower ir

In the present tense of the indicative mood in the plural, the verbs of the second group are characterized by the suffix -iss-: nous finissons.

We would like to remind you that verbs of the third group, which are conjugated differently, also end in -ir.

Below is a list of verbs of the second group, theoretically these are all verbs, but given that the language is developing and enriching, we cannot confidently say that this list will not be replenished in the near future.

I have already published an article on the conjugation of verbs of the first group. Today we will consider the verbs of the second group in French- their conjugation and features. Of course, in the present tense of the indicative mood.

Features of verbs of the 2nd group - how to recognize them

The verbs of the second group are regular (like the verbs of the first group) verbs, that is, they are conjugated according to a certain rule.

These verbs end in -ir in the infinitive. For example, the verb finir means to finish.

Also, the second group is characterized by the presence of the suffix -iss in all forms plural(nous, vous, ils).

Do not confuse the verbs of the second group and the verbs of the third group. A number of verbs of the third group also have the ending -ir in the infinitive, therefore, to distinguish them, you just need to know which verbs belong to one or another group. This information can be found in dictionaries, although not all.

However, in order not to get confused, you need to remember that if the verb ends in -frir, -vrir, -tir, -uire, then these verbs will belong to group 3. For example, ouvrir, offrir, traduire, partir. These are not all endings that indicate that a verb ending in -ir belongs to the third group, so if in doubt, check in the dictionary.

Conjugation table of French verbs of group 2 in Présent

Consider the conjugation of the second group of verbs using the example of the verb finir. So, to conjugate the verbs of the second group in the present tense of the indicative mood, we need to discard the ending of the infinitive ir and add the following verb endings and suffixes:

In all singular forms, the letters -s, -t at the end of words are not readable. The endings -ons, -ez, -ent have a standard reading, like in .

All other verbs of this group are conjugated in exactly the same way without any spelling features - all diacritical marks in the roots of words are preserved. The only exception is one word - haïr, which we will talk about later.

Conjugation of the verb haïr - phonetic and spelling features

So, consider the features of the verb haïr - to hate. This verb has two features -

• h-aspirated, that is, the pronoun je before this verb is not reduced, and there is no binding when reading with any pronouns or subjects.
• The presence of the "tréma" badge, which indicates a separate reading of the letters a and i without the formation of the letter combination ai, which would be read as [ɛ].

In the conjugation of this verb, the following feature is observed - in all forms of the singular "tréma" is lost, so we get the sound [ɛ]. In the plural forms, the "tréma" sign is retained and the reading remains standard.

Je hais - sound [ɛ] - e	nous haissons -
Tu hais - sound [ɛ] - e	Vous haïssez -
Il hait - sound [ɛ] - e	Ils haissent -

List of the most common verbs of the second group

Since the second group of verbs in French is the smallest, I offer a list of verbs that are most often used in speech:

applaudir	applaud
Agir	act
batir	build
choisir	choose
finir	end
grandir	grow
punir	punish
remplier	fill
vieillir	grow old
reflechir	meditate
rouge	blush
palir	turn pale
reactir	to react
Maigrir	lose weight
jaunir	turn yellow
eblouir	blind
tablir	install
enrichir	enrich
fremir	tremble
obeir	obey
hair	hate
demolir	destroy
Saisir	grab, seize
reussir	succeed, succeed
se rejouir	to rejoice, to be pleased with something

On our website, we have already mentioned that there are three groups of verbs in French, and each group has its own conjugation. This distribution of verbs is very convenient so as not to confuse and choose the correct ending.

Today we will talk more about the second group. French verbs, about their conjugation and about their use in speech. If you want to start conjugating verbs as soon as possible, let's get started!

Some features of the second group

The second group includes those French verbs that have the ending –ir in the initial form - infinitive. There are several rules according to which these verbs are conjugated.

Friends, be careful not to confuse the second category verbs with the third category verbs that have the same ending –ir , but conjugated in a different way - this is Irregular Verbs. They can be found in the table of irregular verbs.

Conjugation of the verb of the second group Remplir in the present tense

The verbs of the French language, like Russian, change in person and tense. However, if in Russian there are only three tenses: present, past and future, then in French there are many more. Changing verbs by person and tense occurs by adding special endings to the stem of the verb. The stem of the verb of the second group can be obtained by discarding the final -r at the infinitive. Yes, in the present Present endings are added to the stem of the verb: -s, -s, -t, -ssons, -ssez, -ssent . We conjugate the verb of the second group:

Rougir - to blush
Je rougis
Tu rougis
Il/elle rougit
nous rougissons
Vous rougissez
Ils/elles rougissent

Pay attention to the place of the verbs of the second group in the sentences:

• Je finis mon article aujourd'hui. I am finishing my article today.
• Helene rougit chaque fois quand on parle d'elle. – Helenblusheseveryoneonce, whenaboutherthey say.
• Jean nous abassourdit avec cette nouvelle. Jean deafens us with this news.

Past imperfect tense Imparfait will be formed with the help of endings - ssais- ssais- ssait- ssions- ssiez- scient. For example:

grandir - to grow
Je grandissais
Tu grandissais
Il/elle grandissait
nous grandissions
Vous grandissiez
Ils/elles grandissaient

• Les tulipes dans notre jardin fleurissaient chaque printemps. – Tulipsinourgardenbloomedeveryspring.
• il remplissait la bouteille avec de l'eau chaque matin. - Hefilledbottlewatereachmorning.

How is the future tense formed? Future Simple: verb infinitive + -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont .

Finir - finish
Je finirai
Tu finiras
Il/eklle finira
nous finirons
Vous finerez
Ils/elles finiront

• Maurice, est-ce que tu Maigriras jusqu'a la semaine prochaine? – Maurice, unlessyoulose weightbeforenextweeks?
• Les pommes miriront en ete. - Applesripensummer.

Compound past tense Passe compose formed by adding to the auxiliary verb avoir, standing in the right person of the present tense Present, such a form of the verb as Participe passe. For verbs of the second group Participe passe represents the infinitive of this verb without a final -r .

Anoblir - to ennoble
J'ai anobli
Tu as anobli
Il/elle a anobli
nous avons anobli
Vous avez anobli
Ils/elles ont anobli

• Jean a fini son affaire sans aucun aide. Jean finished his work without anyone's help.
• nous avons anobli notre ville avec des fleurs et des arbres. - Weennobledourcityflowersandtrees.

Time Plus-que-parfait for verbs of this group is formed by conjugation of the auxiliary verb avoir in Imparfait + partialipe passe conjugated verb.

Approfondir - to deepen
Javais approfondi
Tu avais approfondi
Il/elle avait approfondi
nous avionsapprofondi
Vous aviez approfondi
Ils/elles avaient approfondi

• Marceladitqu'ilavailable dejafini satraditiondutexte. Marcel said that he had already finished his translation of the text.
• Alicem'apersuadequ'elleavailable agi correct. Alice convinced me that she was doing the right thing.

Time Futuree anterieur, which is used only in written speech, is formed by the conjugation of the same verb avoir standing in time Futuree + Participe passe the required verb.

Jouir - to please
J'aurai joui
Tu auras joui
Il/elle aura joui
nous aurons joui
Vous aurez joui
Ils/elles auront joui

How to learn to conjugate the verbs of the second group?

In order to make friends with the French verbs of the second group, special efforts no need. You just need to remember the endings.

The second group of verbs does not create problems at all. If in the first group there are some tricks, such as: changing stress, doubling vowels (see our article about the verbs of the first group), then in the second group there is nothing like that, everything is extremely clear and simple.

To quickly memorize the conjugation firmly, make as many sentences as possible with these verbs in different tenses. And also conjugate verbs orally - mentally and aloud. You will succeed! Until we meet again, friends!

Before we get acquainted with the formation of all aspect-temporal forms in French, it is worth talking about the French verbs themselves and their conjugations.

So, a verb is a part of speech that expresses an action, state or process. The verb answers the question "what does it do?". In a sentence, the verb is most often a predicate and is part of the stem. The predicate can be simple, that is, consist of one verb, or compound - consist of several verbs or a verb and an adjective.

For example: Elle est triste. — Compound predicate. Ilécrit une lettre. - Simple predicate.

The verbs of the French language are conjugated, that is, they change in persons and numbers, tenses, moods, have a pledge:

• As in Russian, French has first, second and third person, you may have noticed this about the theories from previous lessons. Verbs are used in singular and plural.
• Verbs denote actions in three tenses: present, future and past. For their expression in French, there are eleven aspectual-temporal forms.
• The mood of the verb shows the action or state as real or supposed, desired or possible. You learned about moods in French in the previous lesson.
• The pledge shows the direction of the action: whether the subject performed the action on his own, or whether the action was performed on him.

All changes that the verb undergoes is called conjugation.

The conjugated forms of the verb are called personal forms verb. They are used in a sentence as a predicate with a subject.
Non-personal forms- these are forms that express an action without specifying the person, number and mood. in french non-personal forms verbs are:

• infinitive (infinitif),
• present participle (Participe présent),
• past participle (Participe passé),
• gerund (Gérondif).

There are also transitive and intransitive verbs in French. transitive verbs denote an action that passes to a person or object expressed by a direct object - an addition without a preposition. At intransitive verbs there is no direct addition.

Verbs in French are also simple and derivative. At simple verbs no prefixes or suffixes, unlike derivatives, which are formed using affixes from other parts of speech: verbs, nouns and adjectives.

So, you got acquainted with the classification and categories of French verbs, however, in order to conjugate a verb correctly, you need to know which group it belongs to.

All French verbs are divided into three groups according to the type of conjugation.

Verbs of the first group

The first group of French verbs is the most numerous. Recognizing the verb of the first group is very simple - they all end in -er. Exception: aller (3rd group).

To conjugate a verb of the first group, it is necessary to add the necessary endings to the stem of the verb (without the ending -er). We conjugate several verbs of the first group in the present tense.

parler - to speak
je	parl e	nous	parl ons
tu	parl es	vous	parl ez
il, elle	parl e	ils, elles	parl ent

Please note that the endings are read only in 1 and 2 persons plural.

When conjugating verbs of group 1, one should remember some features. For example, verbs whose stem ends in "g" receive the connecting vowel "e" in the 1st person plural.

For verbs with accents, these signs change: the sound é changes to è.

Verbs whose stem ends in a consonant preceded by a vowel double the final consonant of the stem.

jeter - throw, throw
je	jett e	nous	jett ons
tu	jett es	vous	jett ez
il, elle	jett e	ils, elles	jett ent

Verbs of the second group

The verbs of the second group also have a very recognizable ending - "ir". Exceptions are such verbs as sortir (leave), servir (serve), venir (come) and a number of other verbs belonging to the verbs of the third group. You will meet her in the next lesson.

To conjugate a verb of the second group, you also need certain endings.

finir - to complete, finish
je	fin is	nous	fin issons
tu	fin is	vous	fin issez
il, elle	fin it	ils, elles	fin issent

Please note that the plural endings are similar to the plural endings of the verbs of the first group - the difference is that they are preceded by an additional element "iss".

Try to consolidate what you read by doing some exercises. Good luck!

French verbs 2 groups

French verbs of the 2nd group are not as numerous as those belonging to the first, but many of them are quite often used in colloquial and written speech. They differ in that in the indefinite form (infinitive) they have the ending -ir.

However, not all verbs ending in -ir belong to the second group. Most often, those that end in -frir, -vrir, -uire, -tir, etc. (for example, ouvrir, couvrir, offrir, traduire, conduire, partir, sortir, dormir, servir, venir, tenir, courir, mourir, vêtir, etc.) are irregular verbs of the third group.

It is very important to know which group the verb belongs to - to the second or third, since its endings will depend on this at different times during conjugation, as well as the basis, which is expressed both in written speech and in pronunciation (when conjugating verbs of the third group basis is changed). Therefore, in order to avoid confusion and avoid mistakes, you just have to learn which group this or that verb belongs to.

Below is a list of the most commonly used French verbs of the second group with translation into Russian: applaudir (to applaud), agir (to act, act), choisir (to choose), établir (to establish), éclaircir (to explain), bâtir (to build), finir ( finish), grossir (increase), grandir (grow), punir (punish), obéir à (obey), réunir (gather), relentir (slow down), réussir (succeed), remplir (fill), saisir (grab ), vieillir (get old), réfléchir (think), nourrir (feed), calmir (calm down), jouir (enjoy, enjoy), rougir (blush), pâlir (turn pale), réagir à (react to something), se rejouir de (to enjoy something), maigrir (to lose weight), jaunir (to turn yellow), etc.

French verbs of the 2nd group are regular, that is, at all times they are conjugated according to certain rules, in different persons they have certain endings. It is important to remember that in the present tense in the indicative mood (Présent de l'indicatif) in all plural persons, the suffix -iss is added to their stem. The same suffix is ​​retained when the conjugation in some tenses (eg Imparfait) uses the stem of the first person plural verb Présent de l'indicatif. In principle, only in the future simple tense (Futur simple) and in the conditional mood in the present tense (Conditionnel présent) is the infinitive stem of the verb of the second group used in conjugation.

Consider the features of the conjugation of the verbs of the second group in the most common tenses using the example of the verb punir (to punish).
