Verbs with IR endings

Most verbs with IR endings are also regular. Here are a few of the most important ones:

 

Choisir (to chose), Agir (to act), Applaudir (to applaud), Avertir (to warn), Grandir (to grow up), Obéir (to obey), Finir (to finish), Guérir (to heal), Investir (to invest), Nourrir (to feed), Ralentir (to slow down), Réfléchir (to think about something), Remplir (to fill), Réussir (to succeed), Vieillir (to grow old)

écoutez et répétez (listen and repeat)

To conjugate these verbs you must replace IR with the correct ending.

Here is the pronunciation of these endings:
