Learn How to Conjugate Produire (to Produce) in French
The French verb produire looks similar to its English meaning of to produce, so that makes it relatively easy to remember.

These allow you to say things such as produced and producing and this lesson will help you learn those essential conjugates. The Basic Conjugations of Produire French verb conjugations are not the easiest part of learning the language because you have many words to memorize. Some verbs are more challenging than others and, unfortunately, produire is one of those. Produire is an irregular verb and it does not follow a regular conjugation pattern.
