se cicatriser — French conjugation
to heal over (wound)
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.
| Pronoun | French |
|---|---|
| je | me cicatrise |
| tu | te cicatrises |
| il/elle | se cicatrise |
| nous | nous cicatrisons |
| vous | vous cicatrisez |
| ils/elles | se cicatrisent |
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.
| Pronoun | French |
|---|---|

| tu | te cicatrisas |
| il/elle | se cicatrisa |
| nous | nous cicatrisâmes |
| vous | vous cicatrisâtes |
| ils/elles | se cicatrisèrent |
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.

| Pronoun | French |

| tu | te cicatrisais |

| nous | nous cicatrisions |
| vous | vous cicatrisiez |
| ils/elles | se cicatrisaient |
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 ?
| Pronoun | French |
|---|---|

| nous | nous cicatriserions |
| vous | vous cicatriseriez |
| ils/elles | se cicatriseraient |
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.

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.
| Pronoun | French |

| tu | te cicatrises |
| il/elle | se cicatrise |

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.
