What are the rules for conjugating french verbs?

Question

By the rules, I mean how to conjugate them. I know a few of them: (some of the words are in french)

-Imparfait: Present de nous, drop the ending, et add the ending of imparfait.
-Conditionnel: Radical du futur, et le terminaison de imparfait.
-Imperatif: Le present de tu, nous, vous.

I need Present, Futur, Passe Compose and Plus-que parfait.

Help?

Answer 1

Present---stem of the verb (usually the infinitive minus the ending), add appropriate present endings depending on the group the verb is end, many present irregulars.

Future--- take the infinitive, minus final -e (if any), add "avoir" endings (-ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont). Taking infinitive doesn't work for irregulars.

Passé Composé--- present of avoir or être (MRS DR VANDERTRAMP/reflexive/pronominal verbs) plus past participle, many irregular past participles

Plus-Que-Parfait--- Imperfect of avoir or être plus past participle (same one used for passé composé)

Rules For Conjugating French Verbs

Answer 3

1) Each verb depends of its group (1er, 2ème ou 3ème groupes)

2) Present completely depends on the group.

3) Futur: Infinitif + ai, as, a, ons, ez, ont (but that only works on 1er groupe)

Answer 4

There are 3 types of verbs. They are rankes according to their endings which defines if the verb is regular or irregular.

1. ―er http://www.frenchlanguageguide.com/french/grammar/regular_er.asp

2. ―ir http://www.frenchlanguageguide.com/french/grammar/regular_ir.asp

3. ―re http://www.frenchlanguageguide.com/french/grammar/regular_re.asp



Other verbs are irregular. Examples: tendre - to tighten.

It is important to know this rule by heart as the ending will determine which type of conjugation it conforms to. http://www.frenchlanguageguide.com/french/grammar/conjugation.asp

You will also need to learn a few verb tables so you can remember them more easily.
