How many avoir french verbs are there?

There's no such thing as an "avoir French verb". "Avoir" itself is a French verb, meaning "to have".

It's likely you're thinking about avoir verbs, which are verbs that are conjugated with the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) in compound tenses.

There is no fixed number of avoir verbs, as all verbs in French are either avoir verbs or être verbs.

Here's a breakdown:

* Avoir verbs: The vast majority of verbs in French are conjugated with "avoir" in compound tenses. Examples include "parler" (to speak), "manger" (to eat), "lire" (to read), etc.

* Être verbs: A smaller group of verbs use "être" (to be) for their compound tenses. These include verbs of motion (aller, venir, etc.) and verbs of change of state (devenir, mourir, etc.).
