There are three groups of verbs in French. In the second one, there are regular verbs ending in -ir.

French

English

Tu dois nourrir le chat.

You need to feed the cat.

Conjugation

Rule 1: To conjugate in the present, one must replace -ir with one of the following endings: -is, -is, -it, -issons, -issez, -issent.

Here's an example with the verb finir (to finish):

Je finis Nous finissons
Tu finis Vous finissez
Il, elle, on finit Ils, elles finissent
Je finis Nous finissons
Tu finis Vous finissez
Il, elle, on finit Ils, elles finissent

Note: not all verbs ending in -ir are regular. You have to pay close attention.

Pronunciation

Rule 2: Note that here, the three verb forms in the singular are pronounced the same way. The singular and plural forms of the third person are clearly distinguishable (finit vs. finissent).
