Editing Defective verb (section)

== French ==
There are several defective verbs in French.

* ''{{wt|fr|falloir}}'' ("to be necessary"; only the third-person forms with ''il'' exist; the present indicative conjugation, ''il faut'', is very commonly used, [[impersonal verb]])
* ''{{wt|fr|braire}}'' ("to bray"; only infinitive, present participle, and third-person forms exist)<ref>Girodet, Jean. ''Dictionnaire du bon français'', Bordas, 1981. {{ISBN|2-04-010580-8}},</ref> 
* ''{{wt|fr|frire}}'' ("to fry"; lacks non-compound past forms; speakers paraphrase with equivalent forms of ''faire frire'')
* ''{{wt|fr|clore}}'' ("to conclude"; lacks an imperfect conjugation, as well as first and second person plural present indicative conjugations)
* ''{{wt|fr|gésir}}'' ("to lie horizontally", often used in inscriptions on gravestones; can only be conjugated in the present, imperfect, present imperative, present participle and extremely rarely, the simple future forms)

Impersonal verbs, such as weather verbs, function as they do in English.
