It's like contredire in the present tense.

Question

Couldn't help but notice, but lire is a lot like contredire, interdire, predire in the present conjugation. " contredis contredit contredisons contredisez contredisent. " " lis lit lisons lisez lisent. " Maybe this page should mention that as a fun fact, I know it makes remembering how to conjugate different categories of irregular verbs easier when I know that they're conjugated the same way as each other.

Accepted Answer

Hi Crystalmaiden,
Although the verbs 'contredire' and 'lire' might look to be similar in the present tense, when you get to the passé composé they will differ as the past participle of 'dire' and all its derivatives like 'contredire', ends in 'it' , however the past participle of 'lire' is 'lu' so they could not be put together .
Hope this helps!

Answer

Yes, that could be helpful. Also, it is interesting that contredire and dire differ in 2nd person plural present tense:
vous contredisez vs. vous dites

I know, but it could still be helpful to mention on the page dedicated only to Present Tense that lire and contredire are practically the same thing in Present Tense, it'd be immensely helpful to new learners.
