Frequently asked questions
How do you conjugate a French verb?+
Identify the infinitive ending (-er, -ir, -re), drop it, then add the ending for the chosen tense and pronoun. Common irregular verbs like être, avoir, aller and faire follow their own patterns — use the search above to see the full tables.
What are the most useful French tenses for beginners?+
Start with the présent, passé composé and imparfait — together they handle nearly every everyday conversation. Add the futur simple and conditionnel once the past tenses feel automatic.
What's the difference between passé composé and imparfait?+
Passé composé is for completed events ('I spoke to him'); imparfait is for ongoing or repeated past actions and descriptions ('I used to speak French'). The conjugator shows both side-by-side.
