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.

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.

tuintoxiquasyou intoxicated
il/elleintoxiquahe/she/it intoxicated
nousintoxiquâmeswe intoxicated

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
jeintoxiquais
tuintoxiquais
il/elleintoxiquait
nousintoxiquions
vousintoxiquiez
ils/ellesintoxiquaient

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
jeintoxiqueraisI would intoxicate
tuintoxiqueraisyou would intoxicate
il/elleintoxiqueraithe/she/it would intoxicate
nousintoxiquerionswe would intoxicate
vousintoxiqueriezyou (pl.) would intoxicate
ils/ellesintoxiqueraientthey would intoxicate

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
jeintoxiqueraiI will intoxicate
tuintoxiquerasyou will intoxicate
il/elleintoxiquerahe/she/it will intoxicate
nousintoxiqueronswe will intoxicate
vousintoxiquerezyou (pl.) will intoxicate
ils/ellesintoxiquerontthey will intoxicate

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 intoxiquéI have intoxicated
tutu as intoxiquéyou have intoxicated
il/elleil/elle a intoxiquéhe/she/it has intoxicated

vousvous avez intoxiquéyou (pl.) have intoxicated
ils/ellesils/elles ont intoxiquéthey have intoxicated

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 intoxiquéI had intoxicated
tutu avais intoxiquéyou had intoxicated
il/elleil/elle avait intoxiquéhe/she/it had intoxicated
nousnous avions intoxiquéwe had intoxicated
vousvous aviez intoxiquéyou (pl.) had intoxicated
ils/ellesils/elles avaient intoxiquéthey had intoxicated

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

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 intoxiquéI will have intoxicated
tutu auras intoxiquéyou will have intoxicated
il/elleil/elle aura intoxiquéhe/she/it will have intoxicated
nousnous aurons intoxiquéwe will have intoxicated
vousvous aurez intoxiquéyou (pl.) will have intoxicated
ils/ellesils/elles auront intoxiquéthey will have intoxicated

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
jeintoxique
tuintoxiques
il/elleintoxique
nousintoxiquions
vousintoxiquiez
ils/ellesintoxiquent

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
jeintoxiquasse
tuintoxiquasses
il/elleintoxiquât
nousintoxiquassions
vousintoxiquassiez
ils/ellesintoxiquassent

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
tuintoxique
nousintoxiquons
vousintoxiquez
