Irregular verbs

In French, as is the case in many languages worldwide, there are a lot of irregular verbs that do not follow the conjugation structure that applies to the first and second verb groups. The verbs that don't fit in these two groups make up the third group. The irregular group. This group doesn't have a set conjugation structure. It is made up of many different verbs that follow their own conjugation structure. Unfortunately, the only way to remember these verbs is to memorize them and remember how they are conjugated.

There are many different irregular verbs, they would take ages to memorize. Below I have listed the ones that are the most common, relevant and applcable verbs. I have also included how to conjugate them.
