To conjugate a verb means to take it through all of the voices, tenses, persons, and moods. A verb is considered regular if that conjugation is made predictably from the verb root. For example, the verb 'parler', which means 'to speak', is a regular verb. For the entire conjugation develops from the root 'parl-'. But the verb 'avoir' is an irregular verb, because its conjugation doesn't develop completely, consistently, entirely, predictably, totally, uniformly from its root.

The verb 'avoir' is considered irregular in French because its conjugation does not follow a consistent pattern or regular set of endings like most regular verbs do. Its conjugation forms have evolved over time and do not conform to typical verb endings.
