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.

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.

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
jestabilisais
tustabilisais
il/ellestabilisait
nousstabilisions

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 ?

PronounFrenchEnglish
jestabiliseraisI would stabilize
tustabiliseraisyou would stabilize
il/ellestabiliseraithe/she/it would stabilize
nousstabiliserionswe would stabilize

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.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jestabiliseraiI will stabilize
tustabiliserasyou will stabilize
il/ellestabiliserahe/she/it will stabilize
nousstabiliseronswe will stabilize

Present perfect (Passé composé) Regular

The passé composé is the main spoken past for completed, bounded actions (often with a time adverb). Use avoir with most verbs; être is required for a fixed group of motion/inchange and all pronominal verbs, with participle agreement when necessary.

Elle est venue tôt, puis elle a téléphoné.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jej'ai stabiliséI have stabilized
tutu as stabiliséyou have stabilized

Pluperfect (Plus-que-parfait) Regular

The plus-que-parfait is the “earlier past”: one action was already over before another past moment. It answers “had already” when a story is anchored in a past time.

Déjà, il avait fini quand je suis arrivé.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jej'avais stabiliséI had stabilized
tutu avais stabiliséyou had stabilized
il/elleil/elle avait stabiliséhe/she/it had stabilized
nousnous avions stabiliséwe had stabilized
vousvous aviez stabiliséyou (pl.) had stabilized
ils/ellesils/elles avaient stabiliséthey had stabilized

Conditional perfect (Conditionnel passé) Regular

The conditionnel passé states what would have been true, plans that failed, and unreal past if-clauses (often with si + plus-que-parfait in the apodose).

J'aurais dit oui, mais c'était impossible.

PronounFrench
jej'aurais stabilisé
tutu aurais stabilisé
il/elleil/elle aurait stabilisé
nousnous aurions stabilisé
vousvous auriez stabilisé
ils/ellesils/elles auraient stabilisé

Future perfect (Futur antérieur) Regular

The futur antérieur marks an action that will be finished before a later future moment (by then I will have…). It can also suggest a conjecture about a recent past fact in formal or literary use.

D'ici samedi, j'aurai lu le rapport.

PronounFrenchEnglish
jej'aurai stabiliséI will have stabilized
tutu auras stabiliséyou will have stabilized
il/elleil/elle aura stabiliséhe/she/it will have stabilized
nousnous aurons stabiliséwe will have stabilized

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
jestabilise
tustabilises
il/ellestabilise
nousstabilisions
vousstabilisiez
ils/ellesstabilisent

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
jestabilisasse
tustabilisasses
il/ellestabilisât
nousstabilisassions
vousstabilisassiez
ils/ellesstabilisassent

Other forms

Imperative (Impératif) Regular

The imperative is for direct orders and advice to tu, nous, and vous. For many -er verbs, the tu form drops the final -s of the present (parle!); negatives use the subjunctive-like forms in practice.

Fermons la porte, s'il vous plaît !

PronounFrench
tustabilise
nousstabilisons
vousstabilisez
