Ang mga verb ang nagsisilbing makina ng wikang French. Nag-co-conjugate ka man ng regular patterns, humaharap sa irregular stems, o nagpapakadalubhasa sa subjunctive mood, ang pag-unawa sa kung paano gumagana ang mga verb ay susi sa pagiging matatas. Sanayin ang mga pattern na ito gamit ang PrepMyFrench interactive exercises upang mabuo ang iyong muscle memory.
French verbs are divided into three groups: 1st group (-er verbs, the largest and most regular), 2nd group (-ir verbs ending in -issant like finir), and 3rd group (all others including -re and -oir verbs, many irregular). The auxiliary verbs avoir and être are the foundation of all compound tenses. Learning the top 50 most common French verbs covers the vast majority of everyday usage.
Inilalarawan ng mga verb na ito ang mga pisikal o mental na aktibidad. Sila ang pangunahing nagpapatakbo ng iyong mga pangungusap.
Inilalarawan ng mga verb na ito ang isang estado ng pagkatao, emosyon, o pagmamay-ari sa halip na isang pisikal na aksyon.
Ang mga French verb ay nahahati sa tatlong grupo batay sa kanilang infinitive endings, na siyang nagtatakda ng kanilang conjugation pattern. Tingnan ang PrepMyFrench verb conjugator para sa mga agarang table.
Je parle anglais et français couramment.
I speak English and French fluently. (-er verb, 1st group)

Il faut que tu fasses attention.
You need to be careful. (falloir + subjonctif)

Ayant fini mon travail, je suis rentré.

Je suis parle français.
Je parle français.
French present tense is SIMPLE: Je parle. Unlike English, there is no 'am speaking' form. Never use être + verb to express present continuous — that's an anglicism.
Il faut que tu fais attention.
Il faut que tu fasses attention.
Il faut que triggers the SUBJUNCTIVE. After expressions of necessity (il faut que, il est nécessaire que), always use the subjunctive. This is tested at B1.
Si j'aurais su, je serais venu.
Si j'avais su, je serais venu.
After si, NEVER use conditionnel. Use plus-que-parfait for type 3 conditionals. The conditional form belongs in the result clause: je serais venu.
🏛️ The Three Verb Clubs
French verbs are like three clubs with different dress codes. Club -ER (90% of verbs) — the biggest, friendliest club where everyone follows the same rules. Club -IR (issant verbs like finir) — smaller, but still regular once you know the pattern. Club -RE/-OIR/-IR (tout le reste) — the exclusive, irregular club where every member has their own style. Être and avoir are the VIP hosts that get you into all the compound-tense after-parties!
Verb conjugation is assessed at every TEF/TCF level. A1: present of regular -er verbs and être/avoir. A2: passé composé, common irregulars. B1: subjonctif présent, conditionnel, all compound tenses. B2: subjonctif passé, participe composé, all literary tenses for recognition. The verbs most frequently tested in grammar sections are être, avoir, faire, aller, pouvoir, vouloir, and devoir.
A student struggling with verb groups:
Pourquoi y a-t-il trois groupes de verbes ? C'est compliqué !
90% des verbes sont du 1er groupe (-er). Si tu maîtrises parler, tu maîtrises 90% des verbes français.
Et les verbes complètement irréguliers comme être ?
Il n'y en a qu'une vingtaine de vraiment irréguliers. Apprends-les un par un. Les autres suivent des sous-modèles : venir comme tenir, mettre comme battre.
