désaffecter — French conjugation
to disaffect
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.
| Pronoun | French | English |
|---|---|---|

| il/elle | désaffecte | he/she/it disaffects |
| nous | désaffectons | we disaffect |
| vous | désaffectez | you (pl.) disaffect |
| ils/elles | désaffectent | they disaffect |
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.
| Pronoun | French | English |
|---|---|---|
| je | désaffectai | I disaffected |
| tu | désaffectas | you disaffected |
| il/elle | désaffecta | he/she/it disaffected |
| nous | désaffectâmes | we disaffected |
| vous | désaffectâtes | you (pl.) disaffected |
| ils/elles | désaffectèrent | they disaffected |
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.
| Pronoun | French |
|---|---|
| je | désaffectais |
| tu | désaffectais |
| il/elle | désaffectait |
| nous | désaffections |
| vous | désaffectiez |
| ils/elles | désaffectaient |
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 ?
| Pronoun | French | English |
|---|---|---|
| je | désaffecterais | I would disaffect |
| tu | désaffecterais | you would disaffect |
| il/elle | désaffecterait | he/she/it would disaffect |
| nous | désaffecterions | we would disaffect |
| vous | désaffecteriez | you (pl.) would disaffect |
| ils/elles | désaffecteraient | they would disaffect |
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.
| Pronoun | French | English |
|---|---|---|
| je | désaffecterai | I will disaffect |
| tu | désaffecteras | you will disaffect |
| il/elle | désaffectera | he/she/it will disaffect |
| nous | désaffecterons | we will disaffect |
| vous | désaffecterez | you (pl.) will disaffect |
| ils/elles | désaffecteront | they will disaffect |
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.
| Pronoun | French | English |
|---|---|---|
| je | j'ai désaffecté | I have disaffected |
| tu | tu as désaffecté | you have disaffected |
| il/elle | il/elle a désaffecté | he/she/it has disaffected |
| nous | nous avons désaffecté | we have disaffected |
| vous | vous avez désaffecté | you (pl.) have disaffected |
| ils/elles | ils/elles ont désaffecté | they have disaffected |
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.
| Pronoun | French | English |
|---|---|---|
| je | j'avais désaffecté | I had disaffected |
| tu | tu avais désaffecté | you had disaffected |
| il/elle | il/elle avait désaffecté | he/she/it had disaffected |
| nous | nous avions désaffecté | we had disaffected |
| vous | vous aviez désaffecté | you (pl.) had disaffected |
| ils/elles | ils/elles avaient désaffecté | they had disaffected |
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.
| Pronoun | French |
|---|---|
| je | j'aurais désaffecté |
| tu | tu aurais désaffecté |
| il/elle | il/elle aurait désaffecté |
| nous | nous aurions désaffecté |
| vous | vous auriez désaffecté |
| ils/elles | ils/elles auraient désaffecté |
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.
| Pronoun | French | English |
|---|---|---|
| je | j'aurai désaffecté | I will have disaffected |
| tu | tu auras désaffecté | you will have disaffected |
| il/elle | il/elle aura désaffecté | he/she/it will have disaffected |
| nous | nous aurons désaffecté | we will have disaffected |
| vous | vous aurez désaffecté | you (pl.) will have disaffected |
| ils/elles | ils/elles auront désaffecté | they will have disaffected |
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.
| Pronoun | French |
|---|---|
| je | désaffecte |
| tu | désaffectes |
| il/elle | désaffecte |
| nous | désaffections |
| vous | désaffectiez |
| ils/elles | désaffectent |
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.
| Pronoun | French |
|---|---|
| je | désaffectasse |
| tu | désaffectasses |
| il/elle | désaffectât |
| nous | désaffectassions |
| vous | désaffectassiez |
| ils/elles | désaffectassent |
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 !
| Pronoun | French |
|---|---|
| tu | désaffecte |
| nous | désaffectons |
| vous | désaffectez |
