IrregularReflexivearranger → s'arranger

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”.

Elle parle arabe et français.

PronounFrench
jem'arrange
tut'arranges
il/elles'arrange
nousnous arrangeons
vousvous arrangez
ils/elless'arrangent

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.

Ils virent le roi s'approcher.

PronounFrench
jem'arrangeai
tut'arrangeas
il/elles'arrangea
nousnous arrangeâmes
vousvous arrangeâtes
ils/elless'arrangèrent

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
jem'arrangeais
tut'arrangeais
il/elles'arrangeait
nousnous arrangions
vousvous arrangiez
ils/elless'arrangeaient

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 ?

PronounFrench
jem'arrangerais
tut'arrangerais
il/elles'arrangerait
nousnous arrangerions
vousvous arrangeriez
ils/elless'arrangeraient

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.

PronounFrench
jem'arrangerai
tut'arrangeras
il/elles'arrangera
nousnous arrangerons
vousvous arrangerez
ils/elless'arrangeront

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
jem'arrange
tut'arranges
il/elles'arrange
nousnous arrangions
vousvous arrangiez
ils/elless'arrangent

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
jem'arrangeasse
tut'arrangeasses
il/elles'arrangeât
nousnous arrangeassions
vousvous arrangeassiez
ils/elless'arrangeassent
