French Spelling Change Verbs: Rules, Examples, andConjugation Practice

—— Verbs like ennuyer change from y to i
French spelling change verbs follow regular conjugation patterns but modify their spelling in certain forms to maintain correct pronunciation.
For verbs ending in -oyer and -uyer, the letter -y changes to -i before a silent e in the endings. Therefore, this change occurs in the present indicative forms je, tu, il/elle, ils/elles, as well as in the present subjunctive. The same stem is also used in the simple future and the present conditional, except envoyer.
Understanding these spelling change rules helps you conjugate similar verbs such as :

nettoyer ennuyer envoyer employer côtoyer renvoyer déployer tutoyer essuyer
