It follows the regular conjugation pattern for RE verbs, where the infinitive form ends in -re and the conjugated forms are formed by removing the -re ending and adding the appropriate endings. Both "apprendre" and "comprendre" are irregular RE verbs because they have changes in their stems in some of the conjugated forms.Rate this question:

This irregularity sets it apart from regular RE verbs like "vendre" (to sell) and "attendre" (to wait).Rate this question:
