Grammar

When to use Ce, Cet, Cette, and Ces

Ce – before a masculine singular name. Ex. Ce livre

Cet- Before a masculine singular name starting with a vowel or h.Ex. Cet arbre

Cette – before a feminine singular name.Ex. Cette plume

Ces- before a masculine or feminine plural name.Ex. Ces livres

When to use Passé Simple

Le Passé Simple  (also known as the simple past or Past Definite)

--expresses an action that took place at some definite time.  The action is OVER.

--this tense is not used in conversational French or in informal writing.  It is a literary tense. It is used in formal writing such as history or literature. 

--The passé composé is the equivalent of the passé simple and is replacing it more and more in literature, although the verbs avoir and être are still quite commonly written in the passé simple in formal writing.

Formation:

For all -ER verbs, drop the -ER and add the endings:           -ai          -âmes           -as         -âtes           -a          -èrent

For all -IR and -RE verbs, drop the ending of the infinitive and add the endings:           -is          -îmes           -is          -îtes           -it          -irent

When to use the Plus Que Parfait

Formation The pluperfect (le plus-que-parfait) is formed with the auxiliary in the imparfait followed by the past participle of the verb. The choice of auxiliary, être or avoir, is the same as for the passé composé. 

Plus-que-parfait = auxiliary in the imparfait + past participle of verb 

This tense expressed: I had done something 

I did something – Passé Composé I was doing something/I used to do something – L’Imparfait 

(For clarification) 

Manger and Avoir j'avais mange - I had eaten tu avais mange - you had eaten il, elle / on avait mange - he, she (it) / one had eaten nous avions mangé - we had eaten vous aviez mange - you had eaten ils / elles avaient mange - they had eaten 

Aller and Etre j'étais allé(e) - I had gone tu étais allé(e) - you had gone il, elle / on était allé(e), he, she (it) / one had gone nous étions allé(e)s - we had gone vous étiez allé(e)(s) - you had gone ils / elles étaient allé(e)s - they had gone

The French past perfect is a compound conjugation, which means it has two parts:1. imperfect  of the auxiliary verb (either avoir or être)

 2. past participle  of the main verb

Note: Like all French compound conjugations, the past perfect may be subject to grammatical agreement:

When the auxiliary verb is être, the past participle must agree with the subject 

When the auxiliary verb is avoir, the past participle may have to agree with its direct object

Participe PasseThe past participle, called le participe passé in French, is very similar in French and English. The French past participle usually ends in -é, -i, or -u, while its English equivalent usually ends in -ed or -en. The past participle has three main uses in French:

1. With an auxiliary verb, the past participle forms compound tenses such as the passé composé:

   J'ai travaillé hier.   I worked yesterday.

   Il est arrivé à midi.   He arrived at noon.

2. With être, the past participle is used to conjugate the French passive voice.

   Le ménage est fait tous les jours.   The housework is done every day.

   Ce film sera suivi d'une discussion.

   This movie will be followed by a discussion.

3. Standing alone or with être, the French past participle may be an adjective. Note that in some instances, the participe passé must be translated by the English present participle.

   Fatigué, je suis rentré à minuit.   Tired, I went home at midnight.

   Le garçon déçu a pleuré.   The disappointed boy cried.

   Le chien assis sur le canapé est mignon.   The dog sitting (seated) on the couch is cute.

   Je ne vois pas d'homme agenouillé.   I don't see a kneeling man.

   Ce livre est écrit en espagnol.   This book is written in Spanish.

   Sais-tu si le débat est terminé ?   Do you know if the debate is finished?

Note:

When used in the passive voice or as an adjective, the past participle needs to agree in gender and number with the word it modifies, following the normal rules of adjective agreement. In the compound tenses, it may or may not need to agree, depending on certain factors - learn more.

   La voiture est lavée par mon fils.   The car is washed by my son.

   Les solutions proposées sont parfaites.   The proposed solutions are perfect.

   Elles sont allées à la banque.   They went to the bank.

   Où est Lise ? Je l'ai vue ce matin.   Where is Lise? I saw her this morning.

The past participle of regular verbs is formed by dropping the infinitive ending of a verb and adding é, i, or u to -er, -ir, and -re verbs, respectively:

-ER verbsVerb   parler (to talk)Remove   erAdd   éPast participle   parlé (talked)

-IR verbsVerb   réussir (to succeed)Remove   irAdd   iPast participle   réussi (succeeded)

-RE verbsVerb   vendre (to sell)Remove   reAdd   uPast participle   vendu (sold)

Most irregular French verbs have irregular past participles:

acquérir > acquisapprendre > apprisatteindre > atteintavoir > eu

boire > bu

comprendre > comprisconduire > conduitconnaître > connuconstruire > construitcourir > courucouvrir > couvertcraindre > craintcroire > cru

savoir > susouffrir > souffert

suivre > suivi

tenir > tenu

venir > venuvivre > vécuvoir > vuvouloir > voulu

Futur SimpleThe French future tense is very similar to the English future tense: it talks about upcoming events. While the French future tense has a full set of conjugations, the English equivalent is just the modal verb "will" + main verb.

   J'irai au magasin demain   I will go to the store tomorrow.

   Ils mangeront dans l'avion   They will eat on the plane.

The French future tense can also be used in si clauses, to express what will happen if a condition is met:

   Si j'ai le temps, je le ferai   If I have time, I will do it.

   Je le ferai si j'ai le temps   I will do it if I have time.

There are some differences between the French and English future tenses.

1. When the action of the verb after certain constructions* will take place in the future, the future tense is used in French, whereas in English the present tense is used. *après que (after),aussitôt que (as soon as), dès que (as soon as),espérer que (to hope that), lorsque (when), quand(when), une fois que (once):

   Quand il arrivera, nous mangerons.   When he arrives, we will eat.

   Je vous téléphonerai dès que je pourrai.   I'll call you as soon as I can.

2. In journalism and other factual narration, the future is often used in French even though the events are in the past.

   Né en Martinique, Aimé Césaire étudiera à Paris et redécouvrira l'Afrique   Born in Martinique, Aimé Césaire studied in Paris and rediscovered Africa.

3. In French, the future can also be used for polite orders and requests, in place of thevous form of the imperative:

   Vous fermerez la porte, s'il vous plaît.   Close the door, please.

There is only one set of endings for all verbs, and most of them - even many which are irregular in the present tense - use their infinitive as the root. There are only about two dozen stem-changing or irregular verbs which have irregular future stems but take the same endings:*

acheter > achèter-   similar verbs: achever, amener, emmener, lever, promener

acquérir > acquerr-   similar verbs: conquérir, s'enquérir

appeler > appeller-   similar verbs: épeler, jeter, projeter, rappeler

aller > ir-

avoir > aur-

devoir > devr-

envoyer > enverr-

essayer > essaier-   similar verbs: employer, ennuyer, nettoyer, payer

être > ser-

faire > fer-

falloir > faudr-

pleuvoir > pleuvr-

pouvoir > pourr-

savoir > saur-

valoir > vaudr-

venir > viendr-   similar verbs: devenir, parvenir, revenir

voir > verr-   similar verb: revoir

vouloir > voudr

*Notes:

   1. The future stem always ends in R.   2. The exact same verbs are irregular in the conditional and use the same stems.

French future conjugations

To conjugate an -ER or -IR verb in the future tense, add the appropriate endings to the infinitive. For -RE verbs, remove the final -e and then add the future endings. For irregular verbs, add the endings to the irregular future stem. For example, here are the future conjugations for the regular verbs parler (to speak), finir (to finish), and vendre (to sell) and the irregular verb aller (to go): Pronoun Future

endingparler > parler- finir > finir- vendre > vendr

-aller > ir-

 je  -ai parlerai finirai vendrai irai tu  -as parleras finiras vendras iras il  -a parlera finira vendra ira nous  -ons parlerons finirons vendrons irons vous  -ez parlerez finirez vendrez irez ils  -ont parleront finiront vendront iront

Conditionnel PrésentThe French conditional mood is very similar to the English conditional mood. It describes events that are not guaranteed to occur; often they are dependent on certain conditions. While the French conditional mood has a

full set of conjugations, the English equivalent is just the modal verb "would" + main verb.

The French conditional is mainly used in si clauses, to express what would happen if a condition were met:

   Il mangerait s'il avait faim.   He would eat if he were hungry.

   Si nous étudiions, nous serions plus intelligents.   If we studied, (then) we would be smarter.

The verb vouloir is used in the conditional to express a polite request:

   Je voudrais une pomme.   I would like an apple.

   Je voudrais aller avec vous.   I would like to go with you.

However, you can't say "si vous voudriez" to mean "if you would like," because the French conditional can never be used after si.

The verb aimer is used to express a polite desire, sometimes one that cannot be fulfilled:

   J'aimerais bien le voir !   I would really like to see it!

   J'aimerais y aller, mais je dois travailler    I would like to go, but I have to work.

There is only one set of endings for all verbs, and most of them - even many which are irregular in the present tense - use their infinitive as the root. There are only about two dozen stem-changing or irregular verbs which have irregular conditional stems but take the same endings:*

acheter > achèter-   similar verbs: achever, amener, emmener, lever, promener

acquérir > acquerr-   similar verbs: conquérir, s'enquérir

appeler > appeller-   similar verbs: épeler, jeter, projeter, rappeler

aller > ir-

avoir > aur-

devoir > devr-

envoyer > enverr-

essayer > essaier-   similar verbs: employer, ennuyer, nettoyer, payer

être > ser-

faire > fer-

falloir > faudr-

pleuvoir > pleuvr-

pouvoir > pourr-

savoir > saur-

valoir > vaudr-

venir > viendr-   similar verbs: devenir, parvenir, revenir

voir > verr-   similar verb: revoir

vouloir > voudr-

*Notes:

   1. The conditional stem always ends in R.   2. The exact same verbs are irregular in the future and use the same stems.

French conditional conjugations

To conjugate an -ER or -IR verb in the conditional, add the appropriate endings to the infinitive. For -RE verbs, remove the final -e and then add the conditional endings. For irregular verbs, add the endings to the irregular conditional stem. For example, here are the conditional conjugations for the regular verbs parler (to speak), finir (to finish), andvendre (to sell) and the irregular verb aller (to go): PronounConditional

endingparler > parler-

finir > finir-vendre > vendr-

aller > ir-

 je  -ais parlerais finirais vendrais irais tu  -ais parlerais finirais vendrais irais il  -ait parlerait finirait vendrait irait nous  -ions parlerions finirions vendrions irions vous  -iez parleriez finiriez vendriez iriez ils  -aient parleraient finiraient vendraient iraient

Le future Anterieur The French future perfect is most commonly used like the English future perfect: to describe an action that will have happened or will be finished by a specific point in the future.

   J'aurai mangé à midi.   I will have eaten at noon.

   Quand tu arriveras, il l'aura déjà fait.   When you arrive, he will already have done it.

   Elle lui aura parlé demain.   She will have talked to him (by) tomorrow.

   Dans un mois, nous serons partis.   In a month, we will have left.

There are three uses of the French future perfect that don't correspond to the English future perfect:

1. In subordinate clauses that begin with theconjunctions aussitôt que, dès que, lorsque, quand,une fois que, and après que, the future perfect is used to express a future action which will be completed before the action in the main clause. In English, a present tense or past tense would be used here.

   Quand je serai descendu, tu pourras me le montrer.   When I have come down, you can show it to me.

   Nous le ferons aussitôt qu'elle sera arrivée.   We'll do it as soon as she arrives / has arrived.

2. The future perfect can make simple assumptions regarding past events, where the English modal verb "must" would be used in conjunction with the past perfect:

   Pierre n'est pas ici ; il aura oublié.   Pierre isn't here; he must have forgotten.

   Luc est heureux ; il aura gagné.   Luc is happy; he must have won.

3. In historical narratives, the events of a person's life can be described with the future perfect even though those events have long since passed. In English, these might be translated by a past tense or conditional:

   Napoléon aura pris une décision importante.   Napoleon made / would make an important decision.

   George Sand aura écrit le roman La Mare au Diable en quatre jours.   George Sand wrote / would go on to write the novel La Mare au Diable in four days.

The French future perfect is a compound conjugation, which means it has two parts:1. future  of the auxiliary verb (either avoir or être)

 2. past participle  of the main verb

Note: Like all French compound conjugations, the future perfect may be subject to grammatical agreement:

When the auxiliary verb is être, the past participle must agree with the subject 

When the auxiliary verb is avoir, the past participle may have to agree with its direct object

French future perfect conjugations   AIMER (auxiliary verb is avoir)j' aurai aimé   nous aurons aimétu auras aimé vous aurez aiméil,elle 

aura aimé ils,elles 

auront aimé

   DEVENIR (être verb)je serai devenu(e)   nous serons devenu(e)stu seras devenu(e) vous serez devenu(e)(s)il sera devenu ils seront devenuselle  sera devenue elles seront devenues   SE LAVER (pronominal verb)je me serai lavé(e)   nous nous serons lavé(e)stu te seras lavé(e) vous vous serez lavé(e)(s)il se sera lavé ils se seront lavéselle  se sera lavée elles se seront lavées

Le Conditionnel Anterieur The French conditional perfect, or past conditional, is usually used just like the English conditional perfect: to express action that would have occurred if in the past circumstances had been different.

The conditional perfect is often used for the result clause in si clauses with the unmet condition in the past perfect:

   Si je l'avais vu, je l'aurais acheté.   If I had seen it, I would have bought it.

   Il serait venu si nous l'avions invité.   He would have come if we had invited him.

The conditional perfect can also be used in a sentence where the unmet

condition is only implied:

   À ta place, je l'aurais dit.   In your place, I would have said it.

   Elles auraient dû acheter un plan.   They should have bought a map.

Use the conditional perfect to express an unrealized desire in the past:

   J'aurais aimé te voir, mais j'ai dû travailler.   I would have liked to see you, but I had to work.

   Nous aurions voulu manger, mais c'était trop tard.   We would have liked to eat, but it was too late.

The conditional perfect can also report an uncertain / unverified fact, especially in the news:

   Il y aurait eu un accident dans le métro.   An accident in the subway has been reported.

   Six Parisiens seraient morts.   Apparently, six Parisians have been killed.

The French conditional perfect, or past conditional, is a compound conjugation, which means it has two parts:1. conditional  of the auxiliary verb (either avoir or être)

 2. past participle  of the main verb

Note: Like all French compound conjugations, the conditional perfect may be subject to grammatical agreement:

When the auxiliary verb is être, the past participle must agree with the subject 

When the auxiliary verb is avoir, the past participle may have to agree with its direct object

French conditional perfect conjugations   AIMER (auxiliary verb is avoir)

j' aurais aimé   nous aurions aimétu aurais aimé vous auriez aiméil,elle 

aurait aimé ils,elles 

auraient aimé

   DEVENIR (être verb)je serais devenu(e)   nous serions devenu(e)stu serais devenu(e) vous seriez devenu(e)(s)il serait devenu ils seraient devenuselle  serait devenue elles seraient devenues   SE LAVER (pronominal verb)je me serais lavé(e)   nous nous serions lavé(e)stu te serais lavé(e) vous vous seriez lavé(e)(s)il se serait lavé ils se seraient lavéselle  se serait lavée elles se seraient lavées

SubjunctiveThe subjunctive mood is used to express actions or ideas which are subjective or otherwise uncertain: will/wanting, emotion, doubt, possibility, necessity, judgment. It is nearly always found in dependent clauses introduced by que or qui, and the subjects of the dependent and main clauses are usually different.

   Je veux que tu le fasses.   I want you to do it.

   Il faut que nous partions.   it is necessary that we leave.

The following pages of this lesson include lists of verbs, expressions, and conjunctions which require the subjunctive in French. They are divided into categories to help you remember them, but if you're ever in doubt as to whether any given expression needs the subjunctive, my Subjunctivator can give you a quick yes or no.

The subjunctive can seem overwhelming, but the thing to remember is the subjunctive = subjectivity, unreality. That should help you figure it out at least 90% of the time.

NOTE: There is no future subjunctive. Even if the action is to happen in the future, the present subjunctive is used

To conjugate all regular verbs ending -ER, -IR, and -RE, as well as some irregular* ones, take the 3rd person plural ils form of the present tense of the verb, drop the -ent ending to find the stem, and add the subjunctive endings as follows:

  parler choisir rendre partir sortir mettre  ils parlent choisissent rendent partent sortent mettent  stem parl- choisiss- rend- part- sort- mett-

Subjunctive endings       ... que je -e parle choisisse rende parte sorte mette... que tu -es parles choisisses rendes partes sortes mettes... qu' il/elle/on  -e parle choisisse rende parte sorte mette... que nous -ions parlions choisissions rendions partions sortions mettions... que vous -iez parliez choisissiez rendiez partiez sortiez mettiez... qu' ils/elles -ent parlent choisissent rendent partent sortent mettent               *Many verbs which are irregular in the present tense are regular in the subjunctive, including all -IR verbs conjugated like partir and sortir and -RE verbs conjugated like mettre.       Verb Subjunctive forms
