      Conjugation

      This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written arrange- before endings that begin with -a- or -o- (to indicate that the -g- is a "soft" /ʒ/ and not a "hard" /ɡ/). This spelling change occurs in all verbs in -ger, such as neiger and manger.

      pluperfect subjunctive → past subjunctive
