rejouer — French conjugation

to replay

Frequency#793Regular

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jerejoueI replay
turejouesyou replay

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jerejouaiI replayed
turejouasyou replayed
il/ellerejouahe/she/it replayed
nousrejouâmeswe replayed
vousrejouâtesyou (pl.) replayed

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
jerejouais
turejouais
il/ellerejouait
nousrejouions
vousrejouiez
ils/ellesrejouaient

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
jerejoueraisI would replay
turejoueraisyou would replay
il/ellerejoueraithe/she/it would replay
nousrejouerionswe would replay
vousrejoueriezyou (pl.) would replay
ils/ellesrejoueraientthey would replay

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
jerejoueraiI will replay
turejouerasyou will replay
il/ellerejouerahe/she/it will replay
nousrejoueronswe will replay
vousrejouerezyou (pl.) will replay
ils/ellesrejouerontthey will replay

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 rejouéI have replayed
tutu as rejouéyou have replayed
il/elleil/elle a rejouéhe/she/it has replayed
nousnous avons rejouéwe have replayed
vousvous avez rejouéyou (pl.) have replayed
ils/ellesils/elles ont rejouéthey have replayed

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 rejouéI had replayed
tutu avais rejouéyou had replayed
il/elleil/elle avait rejouéhe/she/it had replayed
nousnous avions rejouéwe had replayed
vousvous aviez rejouéyou (pl.) had replayed
ils/ellesils/elles avaient rejouéthey had replayed

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

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 rejouéI will have replayed
tutu auras rejouéyou will have replayed
il/elleil/elle aura rejouéhe/she/it will have replayed
nousnous aurons rejouéwe will have replayed
vousvous aurez rejouéyou (pl.) will have replayed
ils/ellesils/elles auront rejouéthey will have replayed

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
jerejoue
turejoues
il/ellerejoue
nousrejouions
vousrejouiez
ils/ellesrejouent

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
jerejouasse
turejouasses
il/ellerejouât
nousrejouassions
vousrejouassiez
ils/ellesrejouassent

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
turejoue
nousrejouons
vousrejouez
