This is my cunning scheme to help you realise that some verbs are regular and follow the same patterns. So, verbs in blue are regular -er verbs, verbs in green are regular -re verbs and the last verb in purple is a regular -ir verb If you find any mistakes in them, please let me know - I'm human and can make mistakes.

25 Most Common Verbs in French

(or 26 if you're being picky ;) )

The idea of this work book is for you to practise conjugating the 25 most common verbs used in the French language. This can become a revision tool for you and a quick reference guide, so please feel free to write all over it.

However, when I say 25, I really mean 26. This is because I noticed that in the original list of verbs there were no regular -ir verbs. People tend to forget the conjugation of these verbs (my personal favourites) so I thought I'd put them in as a little reminder.

You'll also notice that some verbs are in different colours. This is my cunning scheme to help you realise that some verbs are regular and follow the same patterns. So, verbs in blue are regular -er verbs, verbs in green are regular -re verbs and the last verb in purple is a regular -ir verb

If you find any mistakes in them, please let me know - I'm human and can make mistakes.

Enjoy!
