French -re verbs worksheet

The smallest of the three groups, and the one students guess at most.

The regular -re pattern is short (attendre → j'attends, tu attends, il attend, nous attendons, vous attendez, ils attendent) but the silent third-person singular trips learners up constantly. This sheet keeps the focus there, and mixes in the high-frequency irregulars — prendre, mettre, écrire — that share the ending without sharing the pattern.

    Answer key

      How to use this worksheet

      • Keep the tense on présent for the first sheet: the -ds / -ds / -d contrast is the whole lesson.
      • Follow up at A2 with passé composé — -re verbs are where irregular past participles (pris, mis, écrit) cluster.
      • Use the grid puzzle to place attendre next to prendre so the divergence is visible in one glance.

      Questions teachers ask

      Are irregular -re verbs included?

      Yes. The sheet mixes regular -re verbs with frequent irregulars like prendre, mettre and écrire, because that is how students meet them in real text.

      Can I limit the worksheet to regular -re verbs only?

      Set the verb group to “3rd-group verbs” for the regular pattern, or to “irregular verbs” to drill only the exceptions.
