rassasier — French conjugation

to satisfy

Frequency#1156Regular

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”.

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.

jerassasiaiI satisfied
turassasiasyou satisfied

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
jerassasiais
turassasiais
il/ellerassasiait
nousrassasiions
vousrassasiiez

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
jerassasieraisI would satisfy
turassasieraisyou would satisfy
il/ellerassasieraithe/she/it would satisfy
nousrassasierionswe would satisfy
vousrassasieriezyou (pl.) would satisfy
ils/ellesrassasieraientthey would satisfy

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
jerassasieraiI will satisfy
turassasierasyou will satisfy
il/ellerassasierahe/she/it will satisfy
nousrassasieronswe will satisfy
vousrassasierezyou (pl.) will satisfy
ils/ellesrassasierontthey will satisfy

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 rassasiéI have satisfied
tutu as rassasiéyou have satisfied
il/elleil/elle a rassasiéhe/she/it has satisfied

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 rassasiéI had satisfied
tutu avais rassasiéyou had satisfied
il/elleil/elle avait rassasiéhe/she/it had satisfied
nousnous avions rassasiéwe had satisfied
vousvous aviez rassasiéyou (pl.) had satisfied
ils/ellesils/elles avaient rassasiéthey had satisfied

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

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 rassasiéI will have satisfied
tutu auras rassasiéyou will have satisfied
il/elleil/elle aura rassasiéhe/she/it will have satisfied
nousnous aurons rassasiéwe will have satisfied
vousvous aurez rassasiéyou (pl.) will have satisfied
ils/ellesils/elles auront rassasiéthey will have satisfied

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
jerassasie
turassasies
il/ellerassasie
nousrassasiions
vousrassasiiez
ils/ellesrassasient

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
jerassasiasse
turassasiasses
il/ellerassasiât
nousrassasiassions
vousrassasiassiez
ils/ellesrassasiassent

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
turassasie
nousrassasions
vousrassasiez
