Some Regular -ir and -re Verbs

The same sort of math applies to -ir and -re verbs, but their endings are different.

Subject endings for regular -ir verbs:

je -is
tu -is
il/elle/on -it
nous -issons
vous -issez
ils/elles -issent

So choisir conjugated for nous looks like this:

choisir - ir = chois + issons = choisissons

Nous choisissons.

Subject endings for regular -re verbs:

je -e
tu -es
il/elle/on ---
nous -ons
vous -ez
ils/elles -ent

Notice that there is no addition for the 3rd person singular form.

So rendre conjugated for il looks like this:

rendre - re = rend + --- = rend

Il rend.
