to commit suicide

RegularReflexivesuicider → se suicider

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 suicide
tute suicides
il/ellese suicide
nousnous suicidons
vousvous suicidez
ils/ellesse suicident

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 suicidai
tute suicidas
il/ellese suicida
nousnous suicidâmes
vousvous suicidâtes
ils/ellesse suicidèrent

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 suicidais
tute suicidais
il/ellese suicidait
nousnous suicidions
vousvous suicidiez
ils/ellesse suicidaient

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 suiciderais
tute suiciderais
il/ellese suiciderait
nousnous suiciderions
vousvous suicideriez
ils/ellesse suicideraient

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 suiciderai
tute suicideras
il/ellese suicidera
nousnous suiciderons
vousvous suiciderez
ils/ellesse suicideront

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 suicide
tute suicides
il/ellese suicide
nousnous suicidions
vousvous suicidiez
ils/ellesse suicident

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 suicidasse
tute suicidasses
il/ellese suicidât
nousnous suicidassions
vousvous suicidassiez
ils/ellesse suicidassent
