La formation

The verb faire is irregular in the present tense.

Attention

• Note the vous form faites. It is unusual because it does not end in -ez.
  • Faire is one of only three verbs where this is the case (the others are être: vous êtes, and dire: vous dites ).
• You may notice, too, the similarity in the third person plural forms of aller, être, and faire:
  • ils vont (they go)
  • ils sont (they are)
  • ils font (they do/make)
