Comprendre & Entendre

Comprendre = To understand

Comprendre ends in -re, so it belongs to the third group and follows the conjugation pattern: -s -s _ -ons -ez -ent for present tense.

Je comprends
Tu comprends
Elle comprend
Nous comprendons
Vous comprendez
Ils comprendent


Entendre = To hear

Entendre also ends in -re, making it a verb of the third group, following the -s -s _ -ons -ez -ent pattern for present tense. Since the word starts with e, it elides with je and se to become j'entends and s'entend, etc.

J'entends
Tu entends
il entend
nous entendons
vous entendez
elles entendent
