to distribute, to apportion

Frequency#1167Regular

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jerépartisI distributed
turépartisyou distributed
il/ellerépartithe/she/it distributed

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
jerépartissais
turépartissais
il/ellerépartissait
nousrépartissions
vousrépartissiez
ils/ellesrépartissaient

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
jerépartiraisI would distribute
turépartiraisyou would distribute
il/ellerépartiraithe/she/it would distribute
nousrépartirionswe would distribute
vousrépartiriezyou (pl.) would distribute
ils/ellesrépartiraientthey would distribute

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
jerépartiraiI will distribute
turépartirasyou will distribute
il/ellerépartirahe/she/it will distribute
nousrépartironswe will distribute
vousrépartirezyou (pl.) will distribute
ils/ellesrépartirontthey will distribute

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 répartiI have distributed
tutu as répartiyou have distributed
il/elleil/elle a répartihe/she/it has distributed
nousnous avons répartiwe have distributed
vousvous avez répartiyou (pl.) have distributed
ils/ellesils/elles ont répartithey have distributed

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 répartiI had distributed
tutu avais répartiyou had distributed
il/elleil/elle avait répartihe/she/it had distributed
nousnous avions répartiwe had distributed
vousvous aviez répartiyou (pl.) had distributed
ils/ellesils/elles avaient répartithey had distributed

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

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 répartiI will have distributed
tutu auras répartiyou will have distributed
il/elleil/elle aura répartihe/she/it will have distributed
nousnous aurons répartiwe will have distributed
vousvous aurez répartiyou (pl.) will have distributed
ils/ellesils/elles auront répartithey will have distributed

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
jerépartisse
turépartisses
il/ellerépartisse
nousrépartissions
vousrépartissiez
ils/ellesrépartissent

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
jerépartisse
turépartisses
il/ellerépartît
nousrépartissions
vousrépartissiez
ils/ellesrépartissent

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
turépartis
nousrépartissons
vousrépartissez
