brasser — French conjugation

to mix

Frequency#1196Regular

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
jebrassaiI mixed

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
jebrassais
tubrassais
il/ellebrassait
nousbrassions
vousbrassiez
ils/ellesbrassaient

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
jebrasseraisI would mix
tubrasseraisyou would mix
il/ellebrasseraithe/she/it would mix
nousbrasserionswe would mix
vousbrasseriezyou (pl.) would mix
ils/ellesbrasseraientthey would mix

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
jebrasseraiI will mix
tubrasserasyou will mix
il/ellebrasserahe/she/it will mix
nousbrasseronswe will mix
vousbrasserezyou (pl.) will mix
ils/ellesbrasserontthey will mix

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 brasséI have mixed
tutu as brasséyou have mixed
il/elleil/elle a brasséhe/she/it has mixed

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 brasséI had mixed
tutu avais brasséyou had mixed
il/elleil/elle avait brasséhe/she/it had mixed
nousnous avions brasséwe had mixed
vousvous aviez brasséyou (pl.) had mixed
ils/ellesils/elles avaient brasséthey had mixed

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

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 brasséI will have mixed
tutu auras brasséyou will have mixed
il/elleil/elle aura brasséhe/she/it will have mixed
nousnous aurons brasséwe will have mixed
vousvous aurez brasséyou (pl.) will have mixed
ils/ellesils/elles auront brasséthey will have mixed

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
jebrasse
tubrasses
il/ellebrasse
nousbrassions
vousbrassiez
ils/ellesbrassent

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
jebrassasse
tubrassasses
il/ellebrassât
nousbrassassions
vousbrassassiez
ils/ellesbrassassent

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
tubrasse
nousbrassons
vousbrassez
