Regular -RE verbs are the third musketeer of French verb families, and once you spot the pattern, a whole chunk of everyday language clicks into place. They don’t ask for fancy stem changes-you just grab the root, slap on the right ending, and go. This list hands you around 80 of the most useful ones, from vendre to entendre, so you can stop second‑guessing yourself mid‑sentence.
Every verb comes with a straightforward meaning and a natural example that shows how it behaves in a real French sentence-no robotic textbook lines. You can also hit the play button next to any word to hear it spoken aloud, because your ears need practice just as much as your eyes.
Work through the list at your own pace, steal the examples for your own chats, and when you’re ready to go offline, the free PDF download is waiting right below the table. It’s a clean, no‑fuss reference you can keep on your phone or print out.
Use this list as a starting point, then keep going in the Yak Yacker French section for more words, phrases, and study-friendly reference pages.
