interrompre

1. to interrupt

This verb is conjugated like rompre. That means it is conjugated like vendre, except that it adds an extra -t in the third-person singular form of the present indicative: il interrompt, not *il interromp. This is strictly a spelling change; pronunciation-wise, the verb is conjugated exactly like vendre.
