Verbs: Introduction

Generally, there are three trypes of verbs in French: -er, -re and -ir verbs. 
These verbs will follow each's conjugations respectively except certain irregular verbs.

What is conjugation?
It is a form of adding certain prefix or suffix to a part of word to form tenses. For example, in English, he/she/it will have verbs after them with an 's' behind the root word while no 's' for you/we/they. Conjugation works this way for all verbs and differ for each different tenses.
