to blind (make temporarily or permanently blind)

Frequency#906Regular

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.

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.

jeaveuglaiI blinded
tuaveuglasyou blinded

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
jeaveuglais
tuaveuglais
il/elleaveuglait
nousaveuglions
vousaveugliez
ils/ellesaveuglaient

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
jeaveugleraisI would blind
tuaveugleraisyou would blind
il/elleaveugleraithe/she/it would blind
nousaveuglerionswe would blind
vousaveugleriezyou (pl.) would blind
ils/ellesaveugleraientthey would blind

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
jeaveugleraiI will blind
tuaveuglerasyou will blind
il/elleaveuglerahe/she/it will blind
nousaveugleronswe will blind
vousaveuglerezyou (pl.) will blind
ils/ellesaveuglerontthey will blind

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 aveugléI have blinded
tutu as aveugléyou have blinded
il/elleil/elle a aveugléhe/she/it has blinded

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 aveugléI had blinded
tutu avais aveugléyou had blinded
il/elleil/elle avait aveugléhe/she/it had blinded
nousnous avions aveugléwe had blinded
vousvous aviez aveugléyou (pl.) had blinded
ils/ellesils/elles avaient aveugléthey had blinded

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

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 aveugléI will have blinded
tutu auras aveugléyou will have blinded
il/elleil/elle aura aveugléhe/she/it will have blinded
nousnous aurons aveugléwe will have blinded
vousvous aurez aveugléyou (pl.) will have blinded
ils/ellesils/elles auront aveugléthey will have blinded

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
jeaveugle
tuaveugles
il/elleaveugle
nousaveuglions
vousaveugliez
ils/ellesaveuglent

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
jeaveuglasse
tuaveuglasses
il/elleaveuglât
nousaveuglassions
vousaveuglassiez
ils/ellesaveuglassent

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
tuaveugle
nousaveuglons
vousaveuglez
