How do you conjugate French re verbs in the present tense ???

To form the present tense of an -re verb, drop the -re of the infinitive, like you do for -er and -ir verbs. When you do that, you're left with the stem for the conjugation of the present tense, and you can add the present tense endings specific to -re verbs: -s, -s, nothing, -ons, -ez, -ent.

Bonjour !!

The verbs in -re are verbs from the 3rd group.

Verbs in -dre  or in -tre

the endings in present tense always are something like

? / -s/ ? /-ons / -ez / -ent  ...<em>some have an -s at the 1st person, some have nothing at the 3rd person sing.....</em>

<em />

For "regular " verbs you just drop the infinitive ending which is -re

je => -s

tu => -s

il/elle => t or d

nous => -ons

vous => -ez

ils/elles => ent

example

<u>entendre</u>

j'entend-s

tu entend-s

il/elle/on entend

nous entend-ons

vous entend-ez

ils/elles entend-ent

-

<em>But for those verbs in -re, there are no real rules; they all are different</em>

<em>This is the most difficult verb group to learn</em>

-

Some of  keep the -d or -t and you add only at the singular form

<u>prendre</u>

je pren-ds

tu pren-ds

il/elle pren-d

nous pren-ons

vous pren-ez

ils/elles pren-nent

-

<u>Mettre</u><em> or </em><u>paraître</u> loose one -t at the singular form

je mets

tu mets

il/elle met

nous mettons

vous mettez

ils/elles mettent

-

je parai-s

tu parai-s

il/elle paraî-t

nous parai-ssons

vous parai-ssez

ils/elles parai-ssent

-

I could go on with verbs as "cuire" , "<u>conduire</u>" <em>(cook, drive)</em>

<em>( je condui-s      </em>

<em>tu condui-s</em>

<em>il/elle condui-t</em>

<em>nous condui-sons</em>

<em>vous condui-sez</em>

<em>ils/ elles condui-sent</em>

<em>OR</em>

"<u>écrire"</u> <em>(write)</em>

<em>j'écri-s</em>

<em>tu écri-s</em>

<em>il/elle écri-t</em>

<em>nous écri-vons</em>

<em>vous écri-vez</em>

<em>ils/elles écri-vent</em>

<em>-</em>

So just be patient....

<em />

We <em>(French people)</em>  always say that "it is the exception which confirm the rule" ... !!! In fact, French grammar is made of exceptions !!!!

Hope this helps ☺☺☺

Answer:

I think it's un.

Explanation:

Un means my in French. Un is the masculine version of my. So, since you're talking about "my father's little cousins" you would have to go with a masculine version of un.

Lol. Basically, it's the last option. :)

You need to put the verbs in parentheses in the future tense or the past tense infinitive.
