French Grammar: Tenses

1) In any language, when we refer to something happening, we always use a tense to indicate

whether it is going to, is, or has already, happened. e.g. I ate an apple.

I am eating an apple.

I'm going to eat an apple.

2) French verbs are formed by: a stem + an ending (-ER, -RE, -IR)

3) To use the verbs in different tenses, we need to know some rules. These rules are simple

and are applied to nearly all verbs.

4) Unfortunately, some verbs do not follow theses rules and it is therefore important to

- 22

Le Présent

When to use it: To talk about what is happening at the moment

To talk about what happens usually/normally

Time phrases: Tous les jours (everyday), chaque jour (everyday), chaque matin (every morning), parfois (sometimes), etc.

1. Regular Verbs

1) ER verbs: take off the ȂER and add the endings

2) IR verbs: take off the ȂIR and add the endings

3) RE verbs: take off the ȂRE and add the endings

Examples:

Parler Finir Vendre

Je parle Je finis Je vends

Tu parles Tu finis Tu vends

Il/Elle parle Il/Elle finit Il/Elle vend

Nous parlons Nous finissons Nous vendons

Vous parlez Vous finissez Vous vendez

Il/Elles parlent Ils/Elles finissent Ils/Elles vendent

2. Irregular Verbs

As in every French tense there are always irregular verbs. These verbs do not follow the rules. You just have to learn them off!

Examples:

Être Avoir Aller Faire

Je suis

ǯ Je vais Je fais

Tu es Tu as Tu vas Tu fais

Il/Elle est Il/Elle a Il/Elle va Il/Elle fait

Nous sommes Nous avons Nous allons Nous faisons

Vous êtes Vous avez Vous allez Vous faites

Ils/Elles sont Ils/Elles ont Ils/Elles vont Ils/Elles font 4

Le Passé Composé

When to use it: To talk about something that has happened in the past and is now finished. Time phrases: La semaine dernière (last week), hier (yesterday), etc.

Le passé composé is made up of 2 parts:

1) The auxilary verb (the present tense of AVOIR or ÊTRE)

2) The past participle (donné, parlé, sorti, fait, etc.)

1. Regular AVOIR Verbs

The present tense of avoir + the past participle

Donner Finir

Vendre

ǯ i

ǯ u

Tu as donné Tu as fini

Tu as vendu

Il/Elle a donné Il/Elle a fini

Il/Elle a vendu

Nous avons donné Nous avons fini

Nous avons vendu

Vous avez donné Vous avez fini

Vous avez vendu

Ils/Elles ont donné Ils/Elles ont fini

Ils/Elles ont vendu

2. Irregular AVOIR verbs

There is a group of irregular verbs that take AVOIR in le passé composé. These verbs are formed with:

1) present tense of avoir + 2) the irregular past partciple

Some irregular past participles:

avoir: to have: eu

être: to be: été

boire: to drink: bu connaître: to know: connu courir: to run: couru croire: to believe: cru devoir: to have to: dû dire: to say/tell: dit

écrire: to write: écrit

faire: to make/do: fait lire: to read: lu mettre: to put: mis ouvrir: to open: ouvert pouvoir: to be able: pu prendre: to take: pris recevoir: to receive: reçu savoir: to know: su voir: to see: vu vouloir: to want: voulu

Examples:

Prendre Avoir Être

Tu as pris Tu as eu Tu as été

Il/Elle a pris Il/Elle a eu Il/Elle a été Nous avons pris Nous avons eu Nous avons été Vous avez pris Vous avez eu Vous avez été Ils/Elles ont pris Ils/Elles ont eu Ils/Elles ont été 6

ÊTRE Verbs

1) present tense of être + 2) past participle

Mourir: to die: mort

Retourner: to return: retourné

Sortir: to go out: sorti

Venir: to come: venu

Arriver: to arrive: arrivé

Naître: to be born: né

Descendre: to go down: descendu

Entrer: to enter: entré

Tomber: to fall: tombé

Rester: to stay: resté

Aller: to go out: allé

Monter: to go up: monté

Partir: to leave: parti

N.B: The past participle must 'agree with' who did the action. So if the person was female you must add an extra -e to the end of the past participle. e.g. elle est partie - she left. If two or more females did the action you must add Ȃes. e.g. elles sont parties - they left. If the person who did the action was one male, then the past participle does not change. e.g. il est parti - he left.

If two or more males did the action add Ȃs.

e.g. ils sont partis - they left. 7 When to use it: To talk about something that used to happen in the past. To describe the way something was in the past (the weather was fine last Tuesday).

2) Drop the Ȃons: e.g donn

3) Add the endings: -ais, -ais, -ait, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient, -aient

Examples:

Parler Finir Lire

Je parlais Je finissais Je lisais

Tu parlais Tu finissais Tu lisais

Il/Elle parlait Il/Elle finissait Il/Elle lisait

Nous parlions Nous finissions Nous lisions

Vous parliez Vous finissiez Vous lisiez

Ils/Elles parlaient Ils/Elles finissaient Ils/Elles lisaient

Être

ǯ±-ais

Tu étais

Il/Elle était

Nous étions

Vous étiez

Ils/Elles étaient

Le plus-que-parfait

When to use it: 1. The pluperfect is used to indicated and action in the past that occurred before aother action in the past. The latter can be either mentioned in the same sentence or implied. 2. The pluperfect is contrary to what actually happened.

How to form the le plus-que-parfait:

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 (see Le Passé Composé for help on forming these).

ǯ- "- -- - "" être as its auxillary, the past participle must agree.

Examples Ȃ Type 1

Il n'avait pas mangé (avant de faire ses devoirs).

He hadn't eaten (before doing his homework).

J'ai fait du shopping ce matin ; j'avais déjà fait la lessive. I went shopping this morning; I had already done the laundry. J'étais déjà sorti (quand tu as téléphoné).

I had already left (when you called).

Examples Ȃ Type 2

Si tu m'avais demandé, j'aurais répondu.

If you had asked me, I would have answered.

Nous y serions allés si nous avions su.

We would have gone if we had known

Le Conditionnel

When to use it: To talk about things that would happen in the future (I would buy a sports car if I won the lotto).

1. Regular verbs

Regular Ȃer, -ir and Ȃre* verbs all follow the same rules in the conditional:

1) Take the infinitive of the verb, e.g donner, finir

2)Add the endings: -ais, -ais, -ait, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient, -aient

* There is a slight difference for Ȃre verbs. Before adding the endings

Donner Finir Prendre

Je donnerais Je finirais Je prendrais

Tu donnerais Tu finirais Tu prendrais

Il/Elle donnerait Il/Elle finirait Il/Elle prendrait

Nous donnerions Nous finirions Nous prendrions

Vous donneriez Vous finiriez Vous prendriez

Ils/Elles donneraient Ils/Elles finiraient Ils/Elles prendraient

2. Irregular verbs

If you know the irregular stems for the futur simple, you know them for le conditionnel (they are exactly the same!) Use the irregular stems from the future tense and add the endings: aller: to go: ir: j'irais avoir: to have: aur: j'aurais envoyer: to send: enverr: j'enverrais devoir: to have to: devr: je devrais

être: to be: ser: je serais

faire: to make/do: fer: je ferais falloir to ought to faudr : il faudrait * pleuvoir: to rain: pleuvr : il pleuvrait pouvoir: to be able: pourr: je pourrais reçevoir: to receive: recevr : je recevrais venir to come viendr : je viendrais 10

Le Conditionnel Passé

When to use it: To express action that would have happened if past circumstances had been different. It is often used in si clauses. (If I had seen it, I would have bought it.)

How to form the le conditionnel passé:

The French conditional perfect is a compound conjugation, which means it has two parts:

1. the conditional of the auxiliary verb (either avoir or être).

2. past participle of the main verb (see Le Passé Composé for help on forming these).

ǯ- "- -- - "" être as its auxillary, the past participle must agree.

Examples

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.

Le Futur Proche

When to use it: To talk about what we are going to do. Time phrases: Ce soir (this evening), ce week-end (this weekend), le week-end prochain

Le future proche is made up of 3 parts:

1) The pronoun

2) Aller in the present tense

3) The infinitive (verb in its unchanged form ending in Ȃer, -ir, -re)

Pronoun Aller

Infinitive

écouter Ȃ to listen

regarder Ȃ to watch faire Ȃ to do jouer Ȃ to play aller Ȃ to go voir Ȃ to see chanter Ȃ to sing danser Ȃ to dance
