entice

Frequency#870Irregular

Indicative

Present (Présent) Irregular

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.

PronounFrench
jeallèche
tuallèches
il/elleallèche
nousalléchons
vousalléchez
ils/ellesallèchent

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.

PronounFrench
jealléchai
tualléchas
il/elleallécha
nousalléchâmes
vousalléchâtes
ils/ellesalléchèrent

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
jealléchais
tualléchais
il/ellealléchait
nousalléchions
vousalléchiez
ils/ellesalléchaient

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 ?

PronounFrench
jeallécherais
tuallécherais
il/elleallécherait
nousallécherions
vousallécheriez
ils/ellesallécheraient

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.

PronounFrench
jeallécherai
tuallécheras
il/ellealléchera
nousallécherons
vousallécherez
ils/ellesallécheront

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.

PronounFrench
jej'ai alléché
tutu as alléché
il/elleil/elle a alléché
nousnous avons alléché
vousvous avez alléché
ils/ellesils/elles ont alléché

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.

PronounFrench
jej'avais alléché
tutu avais alléché
il/elleil/elle avait alléché
nousnous avions alléché
vousvous aviez alléché
ils/ellesils/elles avaient alléché

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 alléché
tutu aurais alléché
il/elleil/elle aurait alléché
nousnous aurions alléché
vousvous auriez alléché
ils/ellesils/elles auraient alléché

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.

PronounFrench
jej'aurai alléché
tutu auras alléché
il/elleil/elle aura alléché
nousnous aurons alléché
vousvous aurez alléché
ils/ellesils/elles auront alléché

Subjunctive

Present subjunctive (Subjonctif présent) Irregular

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
jeallèche
tuallèches
il/elleallèche
nousalléchions
vousalléchiez
ils/ellesallèchent

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
jealléchasse
tualléchasses
il/ellealléchât
nousalléchassions
vousalléchassiez
ils/ellesalléchassent

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
tuallèche
nousalléchons
vousalléchez
