Looking to speak French like a native? You’re in the right place! We’ve compiled a list of the 20 most essential French verb conjugations, complete with real-life examples and helpful grammar tips. Dive in below to enhance your language skills and master these key tenses!

1. Être (to be)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je suis	J’ai été	J’étais	Je serai
Tu es	Tu as été	Tu étais	Tu seras
Il/elle est	Il/elle a été	Il/elle était	Il/elle sera
Nous sommes	Nous avons été	Nous étions	Nous serons
Vous êtes	Vous avez été	Vous étiez	Vous serez
Ils/elles sont	Ils/elles ont été	Ils/elles étaient	Ils/elles seront

Example:

Ils sont devant le musée. (They are in front of the museum.)

Grammar tip:

“Être,” meaning “to be,” is one of the two essential irregular verbs in French, the other being “avoir,” which means “to have.” This verb features irregular conjugations across nearly all tenses and plays a crucial role as an auxiliary verb in various compound tenses and moods, such as the passé composé. Mastering “être” is vital for anyone learning French, as it forms the backbone of many expressions and grammatical structures.

For example:

• Il est parti tard (He left late).

2. Avoir (to have)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
J’ai	J’ai eu	J’avais	J’aurai
Tu as	Tu as eu	Tu avais	Tu auras
Il/elle a	Il/elle a eu	Il/elle avait	Il/elle aura
Nous avons	Nous avons eu	Nous avions	Nous aurons
Vous avez	Vous avez eu	Vous aviez	Vous aurez
Ils/elles ont	Ils/elles ont eu	Ils/elles avaient	Ils/elles auront

Example:

Nous avons eu deux réunions hier. (We had two meetings yesterday.)

Grammar tip:

Just like “être,” the verb “avoir” is a fundamental part of the French language, featuring irregular conjugations. It plays a crucial role as an auxiliary verb in forming compound tenses and moods. Don’t worry—it’s simpler than it seems! In English, we use “to have” in sentences like “I have danced” or “She has eaten.” Similarly, in French, “avoir” serves the same purpose. For instance, “J’ai dansé” translates to “I have danced,” where “J’ai” combines “Je” (I) and “ai” (have). So, just as “to have” supports the main verb in English, “avoir” does the same in French, making it an essential tool for expressing past actions.

For example:

• Ils ont déjà vu le film (They have already seen the film).

3. Aller (to go)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je vais	Je suis allé(e)	J’allais	J’irai
Tu vas	Tu es allé(e)	Tu allais	Tu iras
Il/elle va	Il/elle est allé(e)	Il/elle allait	Il/elle ira
Nous allons	Nous sommes allé(e)s	Nous allions	Nous irons
Vous allez	Vous êtes allé(e)s	Vous alliez	Vous irez
Ils/elles vont	Ils/elles sont allé(e)s	Ils/elles allaient	Ils/elles iront

Example:

Ils allaient au parc tous les jours. (They went to the park every day.)

Grammar tip: 

When using verbs that take “être” as their auxiliary, it’s essential to ensure that the past participles agree in gender and number. This means you’ll need to add an ‘e’ for feminine forms and an ‘s’ for plural forms. For instance:

• Masculine subject →  Je suis allé.
• Feminine subject →  Je suis allée.
• Masculine plural →  Ils sont allés.
• Feminine plural →  Elles sont allées.

For a mixed group, always use the masculine form. For example:

• Thomas et Catherine sont revenus. (Thomas and Catherine came back.)

4. Parler (to speak/talk)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je parle	J’ai parlé	Je parlais	Je parlerai
Tu parles	Tu as parlé	Tu parlais	Tu parleras
Il/elle parle	Il/elle a parlé	Il/elle parlait	Il/elle parlera
Nous parlons	Nous avons parlé	Nous parlions	Nous parlerons
Vous parlez	Vous avez parlé	Vous parliez	Vous parlerez
Ils/elles parlent	Ils/elles ont parlé	Ils/elles parlaient	Ils/elles parleront

Example:

Tu parles si bien l’espagnol ! (You speak Spanish so well!)

Grammar tip: 

The verb “parler” follows the typical pattern of French -er verbs. By mastering its conjugation, you’ll also grasp how to handle all regular -er verbs across various tenses. Simply add the appropriate endings to the infinitive stem, and you’re all set!

5. Faire (to do) 

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je fais	J’ai fait	Je faisais	Je ferai
Tu fais	Tu as fait	Tu faisais	Tu feras
Il/elle fait	Il/elle a fait	Il/elle faisait	Il/elle fera
Nous faisons	Nous avons fait	Nous faisions	Nous ferons
Vous faites	Vous avez fait	Vous faisiez	Vous ferez
Ils/elles font	Ils/elles ont fait	Ils/elles faisaient	Ils/elles feront

Example: 

Je fais le gâteau pour son anniversaire. (I’m making the cake for her birthday.)

It’s important to note that while English features three distinct forms of the present tense—present simple, present progressive, and present emphatic—French simplifies this with only one present tense: le temps présent. This single tense effectively conveys both immediate and ongoing actions. For instance, the French phrase “je fais le gâteau” can be interpreted in English as “I make the cake,” “I’m making the cake,” or “I do make the cake,” demonstrating its versatility.

Grammar tip: 

The verb “faire” plays a crucial role in numerous French idiomatic expressions and serves as the foundation for the causative construction, where it combines with an infinitive. For instance:

• Il fait froid. (It’s cold.) *Notice that in expressions about the weather, “faire” becomes equivalent to “to be”.
• Nous faisons du ballet. (We do ballet.)
• Elle fait des économies pour un voyage au Japon. (She is saving for a trip to Japan.)
• La pluie fait pousser l’herbe plus vite. (The rain makes the grass grow faster.) *causative construction

6. Prendre (to take)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je prends	J’ai pris	Je prenais	Je prendrai
Tu prends	Tu as pris	Tu prenais	Tu prendras
Il/elle prend	Il/elle a pris	Il/elle prenait	Il/elle prendra
Nous prenons	Nous avons pris	Nous prenions	Nous prendrons
Vous prenez	Vous avez pris	Vous preniez	Vous prendrez
Ils/elles prennent	Ils/elles ont pris	Ils/elles prenaient	Ils/elles prendront

Example:

Ils ont pris ses bagages par accident ! (They took her luggage by accident!)

Grammar tip:

Similar to “avoir” and “faire,” the verb “prendre” is among the most frequently used verbs in French, appearing in numerous idiomatic expressions. For instance:

• Prendre du poids (to gain weight)
• Prendre son temps (to take one’s time)
• Prendre garde (to watch out/be careful)

7. Vouloir (to want) 

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je veux	J’ai voulu	Je voulais	Je voudrai
Tu veux	Tu as voulu	Tu voulais	Tu voudras
Il/elle veut	Il/elle a voulu	Il/elle voulait	Il/elle voudra
Nous voulons	Nous avons voulu	Nous voulions	Nous voudrons
Vous voulez	Vous avez voulu	Vous vouliez	Vous voudrez
Ils/elles veulent	Ils/elles ont voulu	Ils/elles voulaient	Ils/elles voudront

Example: 

Voulez-vous une salade avec votre repas ? (Do you want a salad with your meal?)

Grammar tip:

The verb “vouloir” serves multiple purposes in French. It can express a desire or wish, making it perfect for stating what you want. Additionally, it’s useful for politely requesting something. Interestingly, “vouloir” can also convey strong commands and indicate a willingness to agree to something.

• Desire: Je veux devenir astronaute ! (I want to become an astronaut!) 
• Polite request: Voulez-vous tenir ça pour moi ? (Would you please hold this for me?) 
• Strong command: Je veux qu’il finisse ses tâches avant de sortir. (I want him to finish his chores before he goes out.) 

8. Savoir (to know)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je sais	J’ai su	Je savais	Je saurai
Tu sais	Tu as su	Tu savais	Tu sauras
Il/elle sait	Il/elle a su	Il/elle savait	Il/elle saura
Nous savons	Nous avons su	Nous savions	Nous saurons
Vous savez	Vous avez su	Vous saviez	Vous saurez
Ils/elles savent	Ils/elles ont su	Ils/elles savaient	Ils/elles sauront

Example:

Nous savions que cela arriverait. (We knew this would happen.)

Grammar tip: 

“Savoir” is an irregular French -ir verb, like ouvrir, devoir, falloir, pleuvoir, pouvoir, recevoir, tenir, venir, voir or vouloir.

9. Pouvoir (to be able to)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je peux	J’ai pu	Je pouvais	Je pourrai
Tu peux	Tu as pu	Tu pouvais	Tu pourras
Il/elle peut	Il/elle a pu	Il/elle pouvait	Il/elle pourra
Nous pouvons	Nous avons pu	Nous pouvions	Nous pourrons
Vous pouvez	Vous avez pu	Vous pouviez	Vous pourrez
Ils/elles peuvent	Ils/elles ont pu	Ils/elles pouvaient	Ils/elles pourront

Example:

Peux-tu s’il te plaît préparer le dîner de ce soir ? (Can you please cook the dinner tonight?) 

Grammar tip:

In French culture, the verb “pouvoir” plays a crucial role in conveying politeness and respect. Mastering this verb is essential for making a positive impression in conversations and written communications. For instance:

• I’m sorry, but I’m unable to assist with this matter.

10. Venir (to come)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je viens	Je suis venu(e)	Je venais	Je viendrai
Tu viens	Tu es venu(e)	Tu venais	Tu viendras
Il/elle vient	Il/elle est venu(e)	Il/elle venait	Il/elle viendra
Nous venons	Nous sommes venu(e)s	Nous venions	Nous viendrons
Vous venez	Vous êtes venu(e)s	Vous veniez	Vous viendrez
Ils/elles viennent	Ils/elles sont venu(e)s	Ils/elles venaient	Ils/elles viendront

Example:

Tu viens demain ? (Are you coming tomorrow?) 

Grammar tip:

Like “aller,” “venir” is conjugated with “être.” “Venir de” means to “come from.”

• Je viens de Moscou (I come from Moscow).

If “venir de” is followed by a verb, then it means “have just.”

• Elle vient de terminer son devoir (She has just finished her paper).

11. Dire (to say/tell)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je dis	J’ai dit	Je disais	Je dirai
Tu dis	Tu as dit	Tu disais	Tu diras
Il/elle dit	Il/elle a dit	Il/elle disait	Il/elle dira
Nous disons	Nous avons dit	Nous disions	Nous dirons
Vous dites	Vous avez dit	Vous disiez	Vous direz
Ils/elles disent	Ils/elles ont dit	Ils/elles disaient	Ils/elles diront

Example: 

Il a dit à tout le monde que nous allions nous marier. (He told everyone we were getting married.)

Grammar tip:

While most French irregular verbs follow one of five distinct patterns, “dire” stands apart as an exception. As a result, you’ll need to memorize its conjugation to master its usage.

12. Donner (to give)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je donne	J’ai donné	Je donnais	Je donnerai
Tu donnes	Tu as donné	Tu donnais	Tu donneras
Il/elle donne	Il/elle a donné	Il/elle donnait	Il/elle donnera
Nous donnons	Nous avons donné	Nous donnions	Nous donnerons
Vous donnez	Vous avez donné	Vous donniez	Vous donnerez
Ils/elles donnent	Ils/elles ont donné	Ils/elles donnaient	Ils/elles donneront

Example:

Grammar tip:

“Donner” is also used in many idiomatic expressions. For example:

• Donner l’exemple (to set an example)
• Donner l’heure à quelqu’un (to tell someone the time)
• Donner une fête (to throw a party)

13. Penser (to think)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je pense	J’ai pensé	Je pensais	Je penserai
Tu penses	Tu as pensé	Tu pensais	Tu penseras
Il/elle pense	Il/elle a pensé	Il/elle pensait	Il/elle pensera
Nous pensons	Nous avons pensé	Nous pensions	Nous penserons
Vous pensez	Vous avez pensé	Vous pensiez	Vous penserez
Ils/elles pensent	Ils/elles ont pensé	Ils/elles pensaient	Ils/elles penseront

Example: 

Ils y penseront plus tard. (They will think about it later.)

Grammar tip:

When using this first-group verb, it’s important to note that the preposition that follows can subtly shift its meaning. For instance, “penser à” translates to “to think about,” suggesting that someone is occupying your thoughts. For example:

• Tu penses à elle, n’est-ce pas ? (You are thinking of her, aren’t you?)

“Penser de” means “to think about” in the sense of “having an opinion on.” For example:

• Que pensez-vous de cet hôtel ? (What do you think about this hotel?)

14. Aider (to help)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
J’aide	J’ai aidé	J’aidais	J’aiderai
Tu aides	Tu as aidé	Tu aidais	Tu aideras
Il/elle aide	Il/elle a aidé	Il/elle aidait	Il/elle aidera
Nous aidons	Nous avons aidé	Nous aidions	Nous aiderons
Vous aidez	Vous avez aidé	Vous aidiez	Vous aiderez
Ils/elles aident	Ils/elles ont aidé	Ils/elles aidaient	Ils/elles aideront

Example: 

Elle les aidera à déménager. (She will help them move apartments.)

Grammar tip:

“Aider” is a first-group verb, meaning it adheres to the standard conjugation rules for -er verbs. This makes it easy to learn and use, as it follows a consistent pattern.

To begin, take the infinitive verb and drop the -er ending (for example, “aider” becomes “aid”). Next, apply the correct present tense endings: e, es, e, ons, ez, or ent, depending on the subject. This simple process transforms the verb for use in everyday conversation!

15. Aimer (to like/love)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
J’aime	J’ai aimé	J’aimais	J’aimerai
Tu aimes	Tu as aimé	Tu aimais	Tu aimeras
Il/elle aime	Il/elle a aimé	Il/elle aimait	Il/elle aimera
Nous aimons	Nous avons aimé	Nous aimions	Nous aimerons
Vous aimez	Vous avez aimé	Vous aimiez	Vous aimerez
Ils/elles aiment	Ils/elles ont aimé	Ils/elles aimaient	Ils/elles aimeront

Example:

Ils aimaient jouer ensemble quand ils étaient enfants. (They used to love playing together when they were children.)

Grammar tip:

In French, the verb “aimer” is your go-to word for expressing both fondness and love. Mastering its conjugation is essential, as it helps you clearly convey your feelings and specify who you’re addressing. Whether you’re talking about a hobby or someone special, understanding how to use “aimer” effectively can enhance your conversations!

16. Devoir (to have to, to need to) 

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je dois	J’ai dû	Je devais	Je devrai
Tu dois	Tu as dû	Tu devais	Tu devras
Il/elle doit	Il/elle a dû	Il/elle devait	Il/elle devra
Nous devons	Nous avons dû	Nous devions	Nous devrons
Vous devez	Vous avez dû	Vous deviez	Vous devrez
Ils/elles doivent	Ils/elles ont dû	Ils/elles devaient	Ils/elles devront

Example:

Vous devez boire plus d’eau. (You need to drink more water.)

Grammar tip:

Understanding the differences between “devoir” and “falloir” can be tricky, as both convey a sense of obligation or necessity. To clarify, “devoir” refers to a personal duty or something you must do, whereas “falloir” indicates a broader necessity—something that needs to occur, regardless of personal choice.

If you’re feeling puzzled, you’re certainly not the only one. Understanding this nuanced difference can be challenging, but with consistent practice and proper guidance, it will soon feel like second nature. For instance:

• Je dois lui dire ça. Je ne peux pas mentir ! (I have to tell him this. I can’t lie!)
• Il faut que je parte. Je vais être en retard ! (I must leave. I’ll be late!)

17. Habiter (to live)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
J’habite	J’ai habité	J’habitais	J’habiterai
Tu habites	Tu as habité	Tu habitais	Tu habiteras
Il/elle habite	Il/elle a habité	Il/elle habitait	Il/elle habitera
Nous habitons	Nous avons habité	Nous habitions	Nous habiterons
Vous habitez	Vous avez habité	Vous habitiez	Vous habiterez
Ils/elles habitent	Ils/elles ont habité	Ils/elles habitaient	Ils/elles habiteront

Example: 

Elle habitera en Allemagne l’année prochaine. (She will live in Germany next year.)

Grammar tip:

The verb “habiter” typically pairs with a preposition like à, en, or aux, but interestingly, it can stand alone without one.

For example, we can say both:

J’habite Londres.

J’habite à Londres. 

However, nowadays it’s much more common to place a preposition after the verb “habiter” than not.

18. Regarder (to look, watch) 

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
Je regarde	J’ai regardé	Je regardais	Je regarderai
Tu regardes	Tu as regardé	Tu regardais	Tu regarderas
Il/elle regarde	Il/elle a regardé	Il/elle regardait	Il/elle regardera
Nous regardons	Nous avons regardé	Nous regardions	Nous regarderons
Vous regardez	Vous avez regardé	Vous regardiez	Vous regarderez
Ils/elles regardent	Ils/elles ont regardé	Ils/elles regardaient	Ils/elles regarderont

Example:

Every evening, while we were out, his parents would settle in to watch their favorite TV shows.

Grammar tip:

In French, the verb “regarder” conveys an active sense of intention and focus, implying that you are purposefully directing your attention to something. On the other hand, “voir” has a more passive connotation, indicating a casual or incidental observation. Use “regarder” when you are intentionally watching something, and reserve “voir” for those times when you simply notice something by chance.

Here are some sentence structure examples to illustrate the difference between the two:

• La semaine dernière, j’ai regardé les oiseaux dans la forêt (Last week, I watched the birds in the forest).

Last week, I intentionally observed the birds in the forest.

• La semaine dernière, j‘ai vu beaucoup d’oiseaux dans la forêt (Last week, I saw many birds in the forest).

During my visit to the forest last week, I encountered a fascinating array of birds. Although I hadn’t set out to observe them, I couldn’t help but notice their presence all around me. It was a delightful surprise that added an unexpected layer to my experience in nature.

19. Utiliser (to use)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
J’utilise	J’ai utilisé	J’utilisais	J’utliserai
Tu utilises	Tu as utilisé	Tu utilisais	Tu utiliseras
Il/elle utilise	Il/elle a utilisé	Il/elle utilisait	Il/elle utilisera
Nous utilisons	Nous avons utilisé	Nous utilisions	Nous utiliserons
Vous utilisez	Vous avez utilisé	Vous utilisiez	Vous utiliserez
Ils/elles utilisent	Ils/elles ont utilisé	Ils/elles utilisaient	Ils/elles utiliseront

Example:

Avez-vous déjà utilisé cet ordinateur ? (Have you used this computer before?) 

Grammar tip:

“Utiliser” is a regular -er verb, sharing its infinitive endings with most French verbs such as “aimer” (to love), “aider” (to help), and “parler” (to speak). This means it follows the same conjugation patterns, making it easier to learn alongside many other common French verbs.

20. Essayer (to try)

Présent (Present)	Passé composé (Present perfect)	Imparfait (Imperfect)	Futur simple (Future)
J’essaye/essaie	J’ai essayé	J’essayais	J’essayerai/essaierai
Tu essayes/essaies	Tu as essayé	Tu essayais	Tu essayeras/ essaieras
Il/elle essaye/essaie	Il/elle a essayé	Il/elle essayait	Il/elle essayera/ essaiera
Nous essayons	Nous avons essayé	Nous essayions	Nous essayerons/ essaierons
Vous essayez	Vous avez essayé	Vous essayiez	Vous essayerez/ essaierez
Ils/elles essayent/essaient	Ils/elles ont essayé	Ils/elles essayaient	Ils/elles essayeront/ essaieront

Example: 

Ils avaient prévu de s’envoler pour le Panama, mais malheureusement, leur vol était complet.

Grammar tip:

In French, many verbs that end with -yer, like “nettoyer” (to clean), typically change the -y to -i before the endings -e, -es, and -ent. However, the verb “essayer” is a bit different; while it can also change the -y to -i, this transformation isn’t mandatory.

Both “j’essaye” and “j’essaie” are correct forms of the verb “essayer” in French. The same applies to other -ayer verbs, like “payer,” which means “to pay.” This flexibility in conjugation allows for varied expression while maintaining the same meaning.
