enclore — French conjugation
to enclose
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.
| Pronoun | French | English |
|---|---|---|
| je | enclos | I enclose |
| tu | enclos | you enclose |
| il/elle | enclôt | he/she/it encloses |
| ils/elles | enclosent | they enclose |
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 | enclorais | I would enclose |
| tu | enclorais | you would enclose |
| il/elle | enclorait | he/she/it would enclose |
| nous | enclorions | we would enclose |
| vous | encloriez | you (pl.) would enclose |
| ils/elles | encloraient | they would enclose |
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 | enclorai | I will enclose |
| tu | encloras | you will enclose |
| il/elle | enclora | he/she/it will enclose |
| nous | enclorons | we will enclose |
| vous | enclorez | you (pl.) will enclose |
| ils/elles | encloront | they will enclose |
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 enclos | I have enclosed |
| tu | tu as enclos | you have enclosed |
| il/elle | il/elle a enclos | he/she/it has enclosed |
| nous | nous avons enclos | we have enclosed |
| vous | vous avez enclos | you (pl.) have enclosed |
| ils/elles | ils/elles ont enclos | they have enclosed |
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 enclos | I had enclosed |
| tu | tu avais enclos | you had enclosed |
| il/elle | il/elle avait enclos | he/she/it had enclosed |
| nous | nous avions enclos | we had enclosed |
| vous | vous aviez enclos | you (pl.) had enclosed |
| ils/elles | ils/elles avaient enclos | they had enclosed |
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 enclos |
| tu | tu aurais enclos |
| il/elle | il/elle aurait enclos |
| nous | nous aurions enclos |
| vous | vous auriez enclos |
| ils/elles | ils/elles auraient enclos |
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 enclos | I will have enclosed |
| tu | tu auras enclos | you will have enclosed |
| il/elle | il/elle aura enclos | he/she/it will have enclosed |
| nous | nous aurons enclos | we will have enclosed |
| vous | vous aurez enclos | you (pl.) will have enclosed |
| ils/elles | ils/elles auront enclos | they will have enclosed |
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.
| Pronoun | French |
|---|---|
| je | enclose |
| tu | encloses |
| il/elle | enclose |
| nous | enclosions |
| vous | enclosiez |
| ils/elles | enclosent |
