to tire oneself

RegularReflexivefatiguer → se fatiguer

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
jeme fatigue
tute fatigues
il/ellese fatigue
nousnous fatiguons
vousvous fatiguez
ils/ellesse fatiguent

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
jeme fatiguai
tute fatiguas
il/ellese fatigua
nousnous fatiguâmes
vousvous fatiguâtes
ils/ellesse fatiguèrent

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
jeme fatiguais
tute fatiguais
il/ellese fatiguait
nousnous fatiguions
vousvous fatiguiez
ils/ellesse fatiguaient

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
jeme fatiguerais
tute fatiguerais
il/ellese fatiguerait
nousnous fatiguerions
vousvous fatigueriez
ils/ellesse fatigueraient

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
jeme fatiguerai
tute fatigueras
il/ellese fatiguera
nousnous fatiguerons
vousvous fatiguerez
ils/ellesse fatigueront

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
jeme fatigue
tute fatigues
il/ellese fatigue
nousnous fatiguions
vousvous fatiguiez
ils/ellesse fatiguent

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
jeme fatiguasse
tute fatiguasses
il/ellese fatiguât
nousnous fatiguassions
vousvous fatiguassiez
ils/ellesse fatiguassent
