revigorer — French conjugation

to revitalize

Frequency#709Regular

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.

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
jerevigorais
turevigorais
il/ellerevigorait
nousrevigorions
vousrevigoriez
ils/ellesrevigoraient

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
jerevigoreraisI would revitalize
turevigoreraisyou would revitalize
il/ellerevigoreraithe/she/it would revitalize
nousrevigorerionswe would revitalize
vousrevigoreriezyou (pl.) would revitalize
ils/ellesrevigoreraientthey would revitalize

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
jerevigoreraiI will revitalize
turevigorerasyou will revitalize
il/ellerevigorerahe/she/it will revitalize
nousrevigoreronswe will revitalize
vousrevigorerezyou (pl.) will revitalize
ils/ellesrevigorerontthey will revitalize

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

ils/ellesils/elles ont revigoréthey have revitalized

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 revigoréI had revitalized
tutu avais revigoréyou had revitalized
il/elleil/elle avait revigoréhe/she/it had revitalized
nousnous avions revigoréwe had revitalized
vousvous aviez revigoréyou (pl.) had revitalized
ils/ellesils/elles avaient revigoréthey had revitalized

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

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 revigoréI will have revitalized
tutu auras revigoréyou will have revitalized
il/elleil/elle aura revigoréhe/she/it will have revitalized
nousnous aurons revigoréwe will have revitalized
vousvous aurez revigoréyou (pl.) will have revitalized
ils/ellesils/elles auront revigoréthey will have revitalized

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
jerevigore
turevigores
il/ellerevigore
nousrevigorions
vousrevigoriez
ils/ellesrevigorent

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
jerevigorasse
turevigorasses
il/ellerevigorât
nousrevigorassions
vousrevigorassiez
ils/ellesrevigorassent

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
turevigore
nousrevigorons
vousrevigorez
