It is an irregular verb, as it does not follow the same rules and patterns as other verbs that finish in \u201c-re\u201d. You may notice some similarities between <em>boire <\/em>and other verbs ending in -oir and -oire, such as <em>decevoir, concevoir<\/em> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clozemaster.com\/blog\/devoir-conjugation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>devoir<\/em><\/a>, but it has many individualities meaning that it&#8217;s vital for you to learn the <em>boire<\/em> conjugation by heart. You may notice that this verb has not one but two different verb stems, changing from boi- to bu- depending on the person and the tense.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-5130-_heading=h.30j0zll\"><\/a><em>Boire<\/em> Conjugation \u2013 Present Tense (le pr\u00e9sent)<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re talking about your regular drinking habits, or something you\u2019re drinking at this very moment in time, then you should use the present tense.

In the French conditional, we pair it with the imperfect tense. We often use the conditional to talk about unlikely or unrealistic events. It is usually employed with a \u201csi clause\u201d, meaning a sentence with \u201cif\u201d to show that something will only happen <strong>if <\/strong>a particular condition is met. To form the conditional present, take the future stem and add the imperfect endings.<\/p>\n<table width=\"903\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\">\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"429\">\n<p align=\"left\">Je boirais<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"430\">\n<p align=\"left\">I would drink<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"429\">\n<p align=\"left\">Tu boirais<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"430\">\n<p align=\"left\">You would drink<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"429\">\n<p align=\"left\">Il\/elle boirait<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"430\">\n<p align=\"left\">He\/she\/it would drink<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"429\">\n<p align=\"left\">Nous boirions<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"430\">\n<p align=\"left\">We would drink<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"429\">\n<p align=\"left\">Vous boiriez<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"430\">\n<p align=\"left\">You would drink (formal\/plural)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"429\">\n<p align=\"left\">Ils\/elles boiraient<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"background: transparent;\" width=\"430\">\n<p align=\"left\">They would drink<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<ul>\n<li>Je <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>boirais<\/b><\/span> si j\u2019avais quelque chose \u00e0 boire &#8211; <i>I would drink if I had something to drink<\/i><\/li>\n<li>Tu <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>boirais<\/b><\/span> plus de th\u00e9 si tu avais une bouilloire &#8211; <i>You would drink more tea if you had a kettle<\/i><\/li>\n<li>S\u2019ils avaient soif, ils <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>boiraient<\/b><\/span> &#8211; <i>If they were thirsty, they would drink<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a id=\"post-5130-_heading=h.4d34og8\"><\/a>Expressions about drinking<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to having a drink, there are a lot of French expressions that you could use to help you sound like a local.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>Boire<\/b><\/span> un coup &#8211; <i>To have a drink (of alcohol)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p>Literal translation: To drink a drink<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Allez, reste boire un coup avec tes potes &#8211; <em>Go on, stay and have a drink with your buddies<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>Boire<\/b><\/span> \u00e0 grandes gorg\u00e9es &#8211; <i>To guzzle<\/i><\/h3>\n<p>Literal translation: To drink in large gulps<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Il avait tellement soif qu\u2019il a bu la bouteille \u00e0 grandes gorg\u00e9es &#8211; <em>He was so thirsty that he guzzled the bottle<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>Boire<\/b><\/span> \u00e0 petites gorg\u00e9es &#8211; <i>To sip<\/i><\/h3>\n<p>Literal translation: To drink in small gulps<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quand on est malade il faut boire de l\u2019eau \u00e0 petites gorg\u00e9es &#8211; <em>When you\u2019re sick you must sip water<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Boire<\/strong><\/span> comme un trou &#8211; <em>To drink like a fish<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Literal translation: To drink like a hole<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Il est habitu\u00e9 \u00e0 boire de l\u2019alcool, il boit comme un trou &#8211; <em>He\u2019s used to drinking alcohol, he drinks like a fish<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Boire<\/strong><\/span> le coup de l&#8217;\u00e9trier &#8211; <em>To have one for the road<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Literal translation: To drink the drink of the stirrup<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Je dois bient\u00f4t partir, buvons le coup de l&#8217;\u00e9trier &#8211; <em>I have to leave soon, let\u2019s have one for the road<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a id=\"post-5130-_heading=h.2s8eyo1\"><\/a>Idioms that use the verb \u201cboire\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>While all of the previous expressions were related to drinking, the following expressions are completely figurative and therefore have <strong>nothing to do with actual drinking<\/strong>.
