How do you conjugate french re verbs in the present tense

Bonjour !!

The verbs in -re are verbs from the 3rd group.

Verbs in -dre  or in -tre

the endings in present tense always are something like

? / -s/ ? /-ons / -ez / -ent  ...some have an -s at the 1st person, some have nothing at the 3rd person sing

For "regular " verbs you just drop the infinitive ending which is -re

je => -s

tu => -s

il/elle => t or d

nous => -ons

vous => -ez

ils/elles => ent

example

entendre

j'entend-s

tu entend-s

il/elle/on entend

nous entend-ons

vous entend-ez

ils/elles entend-ent

-

But for those verbs in -re, there are no real rules; they all are different

This is the most difficult verb group to learn

-

Some of  keep the -d or -t and you add only at the singular form

prendre

je pren-ds

tu pren-ds

il/elle pren-d

nous pren-ons

vous pren-ez

ils/elles pren-nent

-

Mettre or paraître loose one -t at the singular form

je mets

tu mets

il/elle met

nous mettons

vous mettez

ils/elles mettent

-

je parai-s

tu parai-s

il/elle paraî-t

nous parai-ssons

vous parai-ssez

ils/elles parai-ssent

-

I could go on with verbs as "cuire" , "conduire" (cook, drive)

( je condui-s      

tu condui-s

il/elle condui-t

nous condui-sons

vous condui-sez

ils/ elles condui-sent

OR

"écrire" (write)

j'écri-s

tu écri-s

il/elle écri-t

nous écri-vons

vous écri-vez

ils/elles écri-vent

-

So just be patient

We (French people)  always say that "it is the exception which confirm the rule" ...

Hope this helps ☺☺☺
