to accommodate

Frequency#1539Regular

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish

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.

jeaccommodaiI accommodated
tuaccommodasyou accommodated

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.

PronounFrench
jeaccommodais
tuaccommodais
il/elleaccommodait
nousaccommodions
vousaccommodiez

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 ?

PronounFrenchEnglish
jeaccommoderaisI would accommodate
tuaccommoderaisyou would accommodate
il/elleaccommoderaithe/she/it would accommodate
nousaccommoderionswe would accommodate
vousaccommoderiezyou (pl.) would accommodate
ils/ellesaccommoderaientthey would accommodate

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jeaccommoderaiI will accommodate
tuaccommoderasyou will accommodate
il/elleaccommoderahe/she/it will accommodate
nousaccommoderonswe will accommodate
vousaccommoderezyou (pl.) will accommodate
ils/ellesaccommoderontthey will accommodate

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jej'ai accommodéI have accommodated
tutu as accommodéyou have accommodated

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jej'avais accommodéI had accommodated
tutu avais accommodéyou had accommodated
il/elleil/elle avait accommodéhe/she/it had accommodated
nousnous avions accommodéwe had accommodated
vousvous aviez accommodéyou (pl.) had accommodated
ils/ellesils/elles avaient accommodéthey had accommodated

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.

PronounFrench
jej'aurais accommodé
tutu aurais accommodé
il/elleil/elle aurait accommodé
nousnous aurions accommodé
vousvous auriez accommodé
ils/ellesils/elles auraient accommodé

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jej'aurai accommodéI will have accommodated
tutu auras accommodéyou will have accommodated
il/elleil/elle aura accommodéhe/she/it will have accommodated
nousnous aurons accommodéwe will have accommodated
vousvous aurez accommodéyou (pl.) will have accommodated

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.

PronounFrench
jeaccommode
tuaccommodes
il/elleaccommode
nousaccommodions
vousaccommodiez
ils/ellesaccommodent

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.

PronounFrench
jeaccommodasse
tuaccommodasses
il/elleaccommodât
nousaccommodassions
vousaccommodassiez
ils/ellesaccommodassent

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 !

PronounFrench
tuaccommode
nousaccommodons
vousaccommodez
