that was so thorough thank you so much, I really appreciate it!! I'm a follower but I am,,, shy so I tend to send anons. I just saw you speak French a while ago and was like :0 perhaps you could answer my question!! it took me weeks to build up the courage to ask. I was worried it may be rude to ask you when I could look it up myself, but I thought it might be good to get a native speaker's opinion. but I am very glad I did because that bescherelle website looks like a great resource!!

I hope you have a wonderful day 💛💛💛💛

I'm so glad I could help!! Feel free to come back if you have more questions, anon or not. Maybe if I explain the rules of French enough I'll actually have more than a vibes-based understanding of it.

The book version of the Bescherelle is a required purchase for all middle schoolers in France, you spend a few weeks learning irregular verbs and their most obscure conjugations. The website just lets you enter any verb and see it all conjugated for you, which is much easier than picking up the little book, look for your verb in the alphabetically ordered list of most verbs in the french language, and then seeing which page of the like 100+ different patterns for conjugations your one verb belongs to. There's a few really big groups that all work according to the same easy pattern, and then there's little groups of a few verbs, all subtly different in which vowel becomes which, and then you have to replace the example verb with the one you were looking up. A whole thing. I'm old enough that none of my teachers told us to look up the website, which I'm assuming they must do for kids nowadays. (that was a tangent but I'm assuming you know how I am haha)

I'm about to go to sleep (soon-ish), I hope you have a great day! (and night)
