Conjugation

This verb is one of a fairly small group of -re verbs, that are all conjugated the same way. They are unlike other verb groups in that the ‘i’ is given a circumflex before a ‘t’.

Usage notes

  • The auxiliary avoir can also be used, indicating action rather than state. However, in common usage, être tends to replace avoir for all senses.
