ensanglanter — French conjugation

to make bloody

Frequency#810Regular

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
jeensanglante
tuensanglantes
il/elleensanglante
nousensanglantons
vousensanglantez
ils/ellesensanglantent

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
jeensanglantai
tuensanglantas
il/elleensanglanta
nousensanglantâmes
vousensanglantâtes
ils/ellesensanglantèrent

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
jeensanglantais
tuensanglantais
il/elleensanglantait
nousensanglantions
vousensanglantiez
ils/ellesensanglantaient

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
jeensanglanterais
tuensanglanterais
il/elleensanglanterait
nousensanglanterions
vousensanglanteriez
ils/ellesensanglanteraient

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
jeensanglanterai
tuensanglanteras
il/elleensanglantera
nousensanglanterons
vousensanglanterez
ils/ellesensanglanteront

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

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

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

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

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
jeensanglante
tuensanglantes
il/elleensanglante
nousensanglantions
vousensanglantiez
ils/ellesensanglantent

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
jeensanglantasse
tuensanglantasses
il/elleensanglantât
nousensanglantassions
vousensanglantassiez
ils/ellesensanglantassent

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
tuensanglante
nousensanglantons
vousensanglantez
