Suffix

[edit]

-re

  1. one of the three main verb endings, along with -er and -ir

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Technically, -re is not a suffix or even a verb ending proper, as it is always part of a wider pattern in -dre, -ttre, -ire etc., and is only used as such for its practical aspect, as it groups verbs of very different conjugations, and several verbs of the third group do not end in -re.

Conjugation

[edit]
  • The table above shows the conjugation of verbs ending in -dre (e.g. rendre, vendre, ardre).
  • In most verbs ending in -ttre, -tt regularly degeminates to -t before suffixes -s and -∅ (battrebats, bat, not *batts, *batt).
  • In most verbs ending in -ire, -is- are added between verb stem and verb ending starting in vowels (conduireconduisais, but conduis), and past participle ends in -t, not *-isu.
  • There are many exceptions on -re verbs, the most irregular -re verb is the auxiliary verb être. See more at Appendix:French irregular verbs.
