évincer — French conjugation

to evict (expel)

Frequency#802Irregular

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jeévinceI evict
tuévincesyou evict

Simple past (Passé simple) Irregular

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jeévinçaiI evicted
tuévinçasyou evicted
il/elleévinçahe/she/it evicted
nousévinçâmeswe evicted
vousévinçâtesyou (pl.) evicted
ils/ellesévincèrentthey evicted

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
jeévinçais
tuévinçais
il/elleévinçait
nousévincions
vousévinciez
ils/ellesévinçaient

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 ?

PronounFrenchEnglish
jeévinceraisI would evict
tuévinceraisyou would evict
il/elleévinceraithe/she/it would evict
nousévincerionswe would evict
vousévinceriezyou (pl.) would evict
ils/ellesévinceraientthey would evict

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jeévinceraiI will evict
tuévincerasyou will evict
il/elleévincerahe/she/it will evict
nousévinceronswe will evict
vousévincerezyou (pl.) will evict
ils/ellesévincerontthey will evict

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jej'ai évincéI have evicted
tutu as évincéyou have evicted
il/elleil/elle a évincéhe/she/it has evicted
nousnous avons évincéwe have evicted
vousvous avez évincéyou (pl.) have evicted
ils/ellesils/elles ont évincéthey have evicted

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jej'avais évincéI had evicted
tutu avais évincéyou had evicted
il/elleil/elle avait évincéhe/she/it had evicted
nousnous avions évincéwe had evicted
vousvous aviez évincéyou (pl.) had evicted
ils/ellesils/elles avaient évincéthey had evicted

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

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jej'aurai évincéI will have evicted
tutu auras évincéyou will have evicted
il/elleil/elle aura évincéhe/she/it will have evicted
nousnous aurons évincéwe will have evicted
vousvous aurez évincéyou (pl.) will have evicted
ils/ellesils/elles auront évincéthey will have evicted

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
jeévince
tuévinces
il/elleévince
nousévincions
vousévinciez
ils/ellesévincent

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
jeévinçasse
tuévinçasses
il/elleévinçât
nousévinçassions
vousévinçassiez
ils/ellesévinçassent

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
tuévince
nousévinçons
vousévincez
