Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can use verbs like 'lire' in all forms of the present tense to talk about a school trip.

Show transcript
[y] is pronounced as in 'y' and [oy] is pronounced as in 'envoyer'. Verbs like ‘lire’ add -s to the stem before adding the regular endings -ons, -ez and -ent. The 's' is pronounced in the plural forms of the verb but is a silent final consonant at the end of 'je' and 'tu' forms. The verbs 'traduire', 'conduire', 'interdire' and 'dire' follow the same pattern except for the exception 'vous dites'.
