Your statement about the conjugation of verbs in French is partially correct. Here's a clarification:
-
-ir verbs: They generally use the ending -ent in the third-person plural form. For example, the verb finir (to finish) in the present tense conjugation would be:
- ils/elles finissent (they finish)
-
-er verbs: They typically use -ent in the third-person plural form as well. For example, the verb parler (to speak):
- ils/elles parlent (they speak)
-
-er verbs do not specifically use -en for the second-person plural form. Instead, they use the ending -ez. For example:
- vous parlez (you speak - plural/formal)
In summary, both -ir and -er verbs use -ent in the third-person plural. The second-person plural of -er verbs uses -ez.
