sortir

1. (intransitive) to exit, go out, come out

   Je suis sorti de l'école. ― I came out of school.

2. (transitive) to take out, bring out

   En sortant mes crayons, je les ai accidentellement répandus partout. ― In taking out my pencils, I accidentally spilled them everywhere.

• This verb uses the auxiliary verb avoir when used transitively (or with a transitive sense, even when the complement is omitted); otherwise (when it is intransitive), it uses être. Hence:

  Elle est sortie. “She went out.”

  Elle a sorti un crayon. “She took out a pencil.”

This is one of a fairly large group of irregular -ir verbs that are all conjugated the same way. Other members of this group include partir and dormir. The most significant difference between these verbs' conjugation and that of the regular -ir verbs is that these verbs' conjugation does not use the infix -iss-. Further, this conjugation has the forms (je, tu) sors and (il) sort in the present indicative and imperative, whereas a regular -ir verb would have *sortis and *sortit (as in the past historic).
