to lodge

Frequency#1139Irregular

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”.

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jelogeaiI lodged

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
jelogeais
tulogeais
il/ellelogeait
nouslogions
vouslogiez

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
jelogeraisI would lodge
tulogeraisyou would lodge
il/ellelogeraithe/she/it would lodge
nouslogerionswe would lodge
vouslogeriezyou (pl.) would lodge
ils/elleslogeraientthey would lodge

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
jelogeraiI will lodge
tulogerasyou will lodge
il/ellelogerahe/she/it will lodge
nouslogeronswe will lodge
vouslogerezyou (pl.) will lodge
ils/elleslogerontthey will lodge

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 logéI have lodged
tutu as logéyou have lodged
il/elleil/elle a logéhe/she/it has lodged

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 logéI had lodged
tutu avais logéyou had lodged
il/elleil/elle avait logéhe/she/it had lodged
nousnous avions logéwe had lodged
vousvous aviez logéyou (pl.) had lodged
ils/ellesils/elles avaient logéthey had lodged

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

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 logéI will have lodged
tutu auras logéyou will have lodged
il/elleil/elle aura logéhe/she/it will have lodged
nousnous aurons logéwe will have lodged
vousvous aurez logéyou (pl.) will have lodged
ils/ellesils/elles auront logéthey will have lodged

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
jeloge
tuloges
il/elleloge
nouslogions
vouslogiez
ils/elleslogent

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
jelogeasse
tulogeasses
il/ellelogeât
nouslogeassions
vouslogeassiez
ils/elleslogeassent

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
tuloge
nouslogeons
vouslogez
