dissoudre — French conjugation

to dissolve.

Frequency#883Irregular

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
jedissous
tudissous
il/elledissout
nousdissolvons
vousdissolvez
ils/ellesdissolvent

Imperfect (Imparfait) Irregular

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
jedissolvais
tudissolvais
il/elledissolvait
nousdissolvions
vousdissolviez
ils/ellesdissolvaient

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
jedissoudrais
tudissoudrais
il/elledissoudrait
nousdissoudrions
vousdissoudriez
ils/ellesdissoudraient

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
jedissoudrai
tudissoudras
il/elledissoudra
nousdissoudrons
vousdissoudrez
ils/ellesdissoudront

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 dissous
tutu as dissous
il/elleil/elle a dissous
nousnous avons dissous
vousvous avez dissous
ils/ellesils/elles ont dissous

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 dissous
tutu avais dissous
il/elleil/elle avait dissous
nousnous avions dissous
vousvous aviez dissous
ils/ellesils/elles avaient dissous

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

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 dissous
tutu auras dissous
il/elleil/elle aura dissous
nousnous aurons dissous
vousvous aurez dissous
ils/ellesils/elles auront dissous

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
jedissolve
tudissolves
il/elledissolve
nousdissolvions
vousdissolviez
ils/ellesdissolvent

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
tudissous
nousdissolvons
vousdissolvez
