Cheat Sheet
- Regular IR Verb Conjugation -
Obéir follows the typical secondâ€group -IR pattern: j'obéis, tu obéis, il/elle obéit, nous obéissons, vous obéissez, ils/elles obéissent. A handy mnemonic from the University of Cambridge suggests "IS-IS-IT / ISSONS-ISSEZ-ISSENT" to lock in the endings. Remember to drop "ir" before adding the suffix to master conjugation obeir effortlessly.
- Imperative Forms -
When giving commands, use the stem without subject pronouns: obéis !, obéissons !, obéissez !. The Sorbonne's French 101 guide highlights that unlike -ER verbs, -IR verbs like obéir keep the final "s" in the tu form, so you always say "obéis." Practice classroom commands to solidify your conjugation obeir skills.
- Passé Composé with Avoir -
Obéir takes avoir in the passé composé: j'ai obéi, tu as obéi, il/elle a obéi, etc., with the past participle "obéi" unchanged since there's no agreement without a preceding direct object. According to the French Ministry of Education, mastering this pattern ensures accuracy in describing past actions. Pair it with other IR past participles (e.g., finir → fini) for systematic review.
- Use of Preposition "Ã " -
Obéir is always followed by "à " when indicating the person or entity obeyed (e.g., j'obéis à mes parents). This rule is emphasized in the University of Texas French Learning Lab to avoid directâ€object confusion. Linking obéir to "à " helps expand your vocabulary review and ensures grammatical precision.
- Vocabulary Clusters from Chapters 5 - 11 -
Organize key terms by theme - school (le cahier, le professeur), family (le frère, la mère) and daily routines (le matin, le soir) - to streamline memorization using the Leitner system recommended by Oxford University Press. Create flashcards that pair these vocab sets with sample sentences such as "Nous obéissons toujours aux professeurs le matin." This integrated approach reinforces both conjugation obeir and French vocabulary review seamlessly.
