blaser — French conjugation

to blow

Frequency#1607Regular

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”.

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jeblasaiI blew

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
jeblasais
tublasais
il/elleblasait
nousblasions
vousblasiez
ils/ellesblasaient

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
jeblaseraisI would blow
tublaseraisyou would blow
il/elleblaseraithe/she/it would blow
nousblaserionswe would blow
vousblaseriezyou (pl.) would blow
ils/ellesblaseraientthey would blow

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
jeblaseraiI will blow
tublaserasyou will blow
il/elleblaserahe/she/it will blow
nousblaseronswe will blow
vousblaserezyou (pl.) will blow
ils/ellesblaserontthey will blow

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 blaséI have blown
tutu as blaséyou have blown
il/elleil/elle a blaséhe/she/it has blown
nousnous avons blaséwe have blown
vousvous avez blaséyou (pl.) have blown
ils/ellesils/elles ont blaséthey have blown

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 blaséI had blown
tutu avais blaséyou had blown
il/elleil/elle avait blaséhe/she/it had blown
nousnous avions blaséwe had blown
vousvous aviez blaséyou (pl.) had blown
ils/ellesils/elles avaient blaséthey had blown

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

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 blaséI will have blown
tutu auras blaséyou will have blown
il/elleil/elle aura blaséhe/she/it will have blown
nousnous aurons blaséwe will have blown
vousvous aurez blaséyou (pl.) will have blown
ils/ellesils/elles auront blaséthey will have blown

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
jeblase
tublases
il/elleblase
nousblasions
vousblasiez
ils/ellesblasent

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
jeblasasse
tublasasses
il/elleblasât
nousblasassions
vousblasassiez
ils/ellesblasassent

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
tublase
nousblasons
vousblasez
