aboutir — French conjugation

to result in

Frequency#4Regular

Indicative

Present (Présent) Regular

Use the présent for habits, what is true now, and what is about to happen soon. A single set of endings covers what English often splits into “I speak” and “I am speaking”.

Elle parle arabe et français.

Pronoun	French	English
je	aboutis	I result in
tu	aboutis	you result in
il/elle	aboutit	he/she/it results in
nous	aboutissons	we result in
vous	aboutissez	you (pl.) result in
ils/elles	aboutissent	they result in

Simple past (Passé simple) Regular

The passé simple narrates completed past events in a literary or very formal style. In everyday conversation people use the passé composé instead, so you mostly meet this form in books and journalism.

Ils virent le roi s'approcher.

Pronoun	French	English
je	aboutis	I resulted in
tu	aboutis	you resulted in
il/elle	aboutit	he/she/it resulted in
nous	aboutîmes	we resulted in
vous	aboutîtes	you (pl.) resulted in
ils/elles	aboutirent	they resulted in

Imperfect (Imparfait) Regular

The imparfait describes ongoing or repeated past actions and sets the background — how things were, what used to happen, weather, feelings. The passé composé, by contrast, marks single completed events.

Quand j'étais petit, j'allais souvent à la piscine.

Pronoun	French
je	aboutissais
tu	aboutissais
il/elle	aboutissait
nous	aboutissions
vous	aboutissiez
ils/elles	aboutissaient

Conditional (Conditionnel) Regular

The conditionnel is for polite questions and requests, “would”-type hypotheticals, and what someone said would happen. It is also the usual consequent clause in si + imparfait → conditionnel patterns.

Pourriez-vous répéter, s'il vous plaît ?

Pronoun	French	English
je	aboutirais	I would result in
tu	aboutirais	you would result in
il/elle	aboutirait	he/she/it would result in
nous	aboutirions	we would result in
vous	aboutiriez	you (pl.) would result in
ils/elles	aboutiraient	they would result in

Future (Futur) Regular

The futur is for future plans and objective predictions. In speech, aller + infinitive is often clearer for the immediate future, while the simple future is common for facts further ahead or in writing.

Demain, nous dînerons chez eux.

Pronoun	French	English
je	aboutirai	I will result in
tu	aboutiras	you will result in
il/elle	aboutira	he/she/it will result in
nous	aboutirons	we will result in
vous	aboutirez	you (pl.) will result in
ils/elles	aboutiront	they will result in

Present perfect (Passé composé) Regular

The passé composé is the main spoken past for completed, bounded actions (often with a time adverb). Use avoir with most verbs; être is required for a fixed group of motion/inchange and all pronominal verbs, with participle agreement when necessary.

Elle est venue tôt, puis elle a téléphoné.

Pronoun	French	English
je	j'ai abouti	I have resulted in
tu	tu as abouti	you have resulted in
il/elle	il/elle a abouti	he/she/it has resulted in
nous	nous avons abouti	we have resulted in
vous	vous avez abouti	you (pl.) have resulted in
ils/elles	ils/elles ont abouti	they have resulted in

Pluperfect (Plus-que-parfait) Regular

The plus-que-parfait is the “earlier past”: one action was already over before another past moment. It answers “had already” when a story is anchored in a past time.

Déjà, il avait fini quand je suis arrivé.

Pronoun	French	English
je	j'avais abouti	I had resulted in
tu	tu avais abouti	you had resulted in
il/elle	il/elle avait abouti	he/she/it had resulted in
nous	nous avions abouti	we had resulted in
vous	vous aviez abouti	you (pl.) had resulted in
ils/elles	ils/elles avaient abouti	they had resulted in

Conditional perfect (Conditionnel passé) Regular

The conditionnel passé states what would have been true, plans that failed, and unreal past if-clauses (often with si + plus-que-parfait in the apodose).

J'aurais dit oui, mais c'était impossible.

Pronoun	French
je	j'aurais abouti
tu	tu aurais abouti
il/elle	il/elle aurait abouti
nous	nous aurions abouti
vous	vous auriez abouti
ils/elles	ils/elles auraient abouti

Future perfect (Futur antérieur) Regular

The futur antérieur marks an action that will be finished before a later future moment (by then I will have…). It can also suggest a conjecture about a recent past fact in formal or literary use.

D'ici samedi, j'aurai lu le rapport.

Pronoun	French	English
je	j'aurai abouti	I will have resulted in
tu	tu auras abouti	you will have resulted in
il/elle	il/elle aura abouti	he/she/it will have resulted in
nous	nous aurons abouti	we will have resulted in
vous	vous aurez abouti	you (pl.) will have resulted in
ils/elles	ils/elles auront abouti	they will have resulted in

Subjunctive

Present subjunctive (Subjonctif présent) Regular

The present subjunctive appears in subordinate clauses after desire, doubt, fear, need, and many impersonals, usually when the subject of the subordinate is different. Learn common triggers: il faut que, je veux que, je doute que…

Il faut qu'il parte avant midi.

Pronoun	French
je	aboutisse
tu	aboutisses
il/elle	aboutisse
nous	aboutissions
vous	aboutissiez
ils/elles	aboutissent

Imperfect subjunctive (Subjonctif imparfait) Regular

The imparfait du subjonctif is a literary and formal past subjunctive. In modern speech, the present subjunctive usually replaces it for the same meaning.

Bien qu'il fût fatigué, il continua.

Pronoun	French
je	aboutisse
tu	aboutisses
il/elle	aboutît
nous	aboutissions
vous	aboutissiez
ils/elles	aboutissent

Other forms

Imperative (Impératif) Regular

The imperative is for direct orders and advice to tu, nous, and vous. For many -er verbs, the tu form drops the final -s of the present (parle!); negatives use the subjunctive-like forms in practice.

Fermons la porte, s'il vous plaît !

Pronoun	French
tu	aboutis
nous	aboutissons
vous	aboutissez
