Conjugating ir verbs present
Prescribed by the AQA specification.
The short version
The nous form tells you which -ir verb you have
French -ir verbs split into camps, and the nous form gives the game away. If it carries -iss- (nous finissons, nous choisissons), the verb is textbook second group. Plain -ons after a short stem (nous partons, nous dormons) means the partir type, which drops a consonant in the singular.
Nous finissons le repas.
That's the gist. The full article goes deeper - more examples, the edge cases, the why - and the practice below scores like a vocabulary session and earns the same XP.
