outrager — French conjugation

to outrage

Frequency#945Irregular

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.

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
jeoutrageais
tuoutrageais
il/elleoutrageait
nousoutragions
vousoutragiez

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
jeoutrageraisI would outrage
tuoutrageraisyou would outrage
il/elleoutrageraithe/she/it would outrage
nousoutragerionswe would outrage
vousoutrageriezyou (pl.) would outrage

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
jeoutrageraiI will outrage
tuoutragerasyou will outrage
il/elleoutragerahe/she/it will outrage
nousoutrageronswe will outrage
vousoutragerezyou (pl.) will outrage

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 outragéI have outraged
tutu as outragéyou have outraged

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 outragéI had outraged
tutu avais outragéyou had outraged
il/elleil/elle avait outragéhe/she/it had outraged
nousnous avions outragéwe had outraged
vousvous aviez outragéyou (pl.) had outraged
ils/ellesils/elles avaient outragéthey had outraged

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

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 outragéI will have outraged
tutu auras outragéyou will have outraged
il/elleil/elle aura outragéhe/she/it will have outraged
nousnous aurons outragéwe will have outraged
vousvous aurez outragéyou (pl.) will have outraged
ils/ellesils/elles auront outragéthey will have outraged

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
jeoutrage
tuoutrages
il/elleoutrage
nousoutragions
vousoutragiez
ils/ellesoutragent

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
jeoutrageasse
tuoutrageasses
il/elleoutrageât
nousoutrageassions
vousoutrageassiez
ils/ellesoutrageassent

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
tuoutrage
nousoutrageons
vousoutragez
