Document Summary
> the verb r pondez" is a type 2 verb adding the consonant d" for the plural. Je r ponds : i answer / i am answering. You have probably noticed that the -t" ending is not there for the personal pronouns il and elle. This is due to a spelling rule: a d" cannot be followed by a t" therefore the t" is omitted if the stem of the verb ends with a d". It also seems that the verb has only one stem: r pond. But if this is true in writing, orally we have two stems; one, for the singular where the d" is silent, one for the plural when it is heard. > here are verbs following the same pattern as r pondez".
