Conjugation

• This is one of a fairly large group of irregular -ir verbs that are all conjugated the same way. Other members of this group include sortir and dormir. The biggest difference between these verbs' conjugation and that of the regular -ir verbs is that these verbs' conjugation does not use the infix -iss-. Further, this conjugation has the forms (je, tu) pars and (il) part in the present indicative and imperative, whereas a regular -ir verb would have *partis and *partit (as in the past historic).
