Some people love lying on the beach with a good book on their summer vacation, others prefer to cozy up by the fire and read on a cold winter\u2019s night. Then there are the bookworms who love to bury themselves in a good book, no matter the season. Whether you\u2019re an avid reader or a part-time book-lover, you need to know how to use the French lire<\/em> conjugation.<\/p>\n

Reading is not only one of the world\u2019s most popular pastimes<\/strong>, it\u2019s also one of the four main skills that we learn in school. That means that even if you don\u2019t like<\/em> to read, it\u2019s still a vital skill, and therefore \u201cto read\u201d is one of the most common verbs.<\/p>\n

Lire<\/em> is an irregular verb, because it doesn\u2019t keep the same stem for all conjugations. It\u2019s a unique verb, as no other French verbs follow the same pattern.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Lire<\/em> Conjugation Present Tense (le pr\u00e9sent)<\/h2>\n

Lire<\/em> can be used in the same way as the English present continuous tense to explain that you are reading something at this very moment, or to say that at this time in your life you are in the process of reading a book or text. It can also be used in place of the simple present, to state facts or to talk about habits and routines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
