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.

PronounFrench
jem'intitule
tut'intitules
il/elles'intitule
nousnous intitulons
vousvous intitulez
ils/elless'intitulent

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.

PronounFrench
jem'intitulai
tut'intitulas
il/elles'intitula
nousnous intitulâmes
vousvous intitulâtes
ils/elless'intitulèrent

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
jem'intitulais
tut'intitulais
il/elles'intitulait
nousnous intitulions
vousvous intituliez
ils/elless'intitulaient

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'intitulerais
tut'intitulerais
il/elles'intitulerait
nousnous intitulerions
vousvous intituleriez
ils/elless'intituleraient

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'intitulerai
tut'intituleras
il/elles'intitulera
nousnous intitulerons
vousvous intitulerez
ils/elless'intituleront

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'intitule
tut'intitules
il/elles'intitule
nousnous intitulions
vousvous intituliez
ils/elless'intitulent

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'intitulasse
tut'intitulasses
il/elles'intitulât
nousnous intitulassions
vousvous intitulassiez
ils/elless'intitulassent
