endurer — French conjugation

to endure.

Frequency#888Regular

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.

PronounFrench
jeendure
tuendures
il/elleendure
nousendurons
vousendurez
ils/ellesendurent

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.

PronounFrench
jeendurai
tuenduras
il/elleendura
nousendurâmes
vousendurâtes
ils/ellesendurèrent

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
jeendurais
tuendurais
il/elleendurait
nousendurions
vousenduriez
ils/ellesenduraient

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
jeendurerais
tuendurerais
il/elleendurerait
nousendurerions
vousendureriez
ils/ellesendureraient

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
jeendurerai
tuendureras
il/elleendurera
nousendurerons
vousendurerez
ils/ellesendureront

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

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

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

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

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
jeendure
tuendures
il/elleendure
nousendurions
vousenduriez
ils/ellesendurent

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
jeendurasse
tuendurasses
il/elleendurât
nousendurassions
vousendurassiez
ils/ellesendurassent

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
tuendure
nousendurons
vousendurez
