Understanding Essayer Conjugation in French

Conjugating the French verb essayer translates to attempting or trying in English. It's an essential verb that you’ll often encounter. Getting familiar with its conjugation can significantly enhance your French learning journey.

The basics of Essayer Verb Conjugation

Essayer is a regular -er verb but with a slight twist. When conjugated, the 'y' changes to an 'i' in the singular and the third person plural forms, although this change doesn’t apply to all tenses. This variation is a key aspect to remember about essayer conjugation.

Remember, the spelling change from 'y' to 'i' before a silent 'e' helps with the pronunciation.

How to Conjugate Essayer in the Present Tense

Conjugating essayer in the present tense involves a straightforward pattern similar to that of other regular -er verbs, with the noted exception of the 'y' to 'i' change in certain forms. Here’s how you conjugate essayer in the present tense:

Note that both 'j'essaie' and 'j'essaye' are acceptable forms of the first person singular in the present tense, reflecting the spelling variation mentioned earlier.

Mastering Essayer Conjugation: The Past Tense

To form the past tense, also known as the passé composé , of essayer , you need the helping verb 'avoir' and the past participle 'essayé'. The structure is similar to many other French verbs. The conjugation in the passé composé depends on the subject pronoun:

The past participle essayé maintains its spelling across all subject pronouns in the passé composé, which simplifies its usage. The auxiliary verb 'avoir' is conjugated according to the subject, making understanding of 'avoir' conjugation equally essential in mastering essayer in the past tense.

Deep Dive into Essayer Conjugation French

Conjugation forms an integral part of mastering French, bringing verbs to life in different contexts and tenses. A detailed look at essayer conjugation across various moods and tenses can broaden your understanding and usage of this versatile verb.

Essayer Conjugation Present: A Closer Look

The present tense of essayer offers the first glimpse into its usage, showing how the verb adapts in current scenarios. The unique 'y' to 'i' switch in certain forms makes it slightly different from other regular -er verbs.Here is the conjugation of essayer in the present tense for quick reference:

The forms 'j'essaie' and 'j'essaye' are both correct, demonstrating a flexible aspect of French spelling and pronunciation norms.

Navigating Essayer Imparfait Conjugation

The imparfait , or imperfect tense, conveys ongoing actions or states of being in the past. It illuminates what was happening at a certain point without focusing on the beginning or end of the action. Conjugating essayer in the imparfait involves a standard set of endings added to the stem: Stem: essay-Here’s a quick guide to its conjugation:

The Subjunctive and Conditional Moods in Essayer Conjugation

The subjunctive and conditional moods of essayer explore possibilities, hypotheses, and situations dependent on conditions.For the subjunctive mood, expressing doubt, wish, or uncertainty, here are the forms:

The conditional mood deals with potential scenarios or actions that would happen under certain conditions. Here’s how to conjugate essayer in the conditional mood:

Understanding these moods requires recognizing the nuances in tone and meaning they bring to conversations or written text. The subjunctive often appears after expressions that start with 'il faut que' (it is necessary that), 'bien que' (although), or 'pour que' (so that), reflecting its use in expressing desires or hypothetical situations. Meanwhile, the conditional mood is frequently used in polite requests or in sentences that begin with 'si' (if), laying down a condition for the action to occur.

Practising Conjugate Essayer Across Tenses

Understanding how to conjugate the French verb essayer across different tenses is integral to mastering its use. This versatility allows you to express actions in the present, past, future, and conditional states, making your French more fluent and nuanced.

The Future and Perfect Tenses of Essayer Verb Conjugation

Conjugating essayer in the future and perfect tenses allows for expressing actions that will occur or have been completed. The future tense speaks about events that will happen, while the perfect tense, using the passé composé, talks about actions that were completed in the past.

The future tense of essayer closely follows the regular -er verb conjugation pattern but with its unique twist in spelling.

For the perfect tense, combining the auxiliary verb avoir with the past participle essayé forms a compound tense that expresses actions completed in the past.

Regular vs Irregular Patterns in Essayer Conjugation French

The verb essayer presents an interesting case of blending regular -er verb conjugation patterns with its own unique irregularities. Understanding these patterns is crucial to effectively using essayer in various contexts.

A regular verb follows a predictable pattern of conjugations across different tenses and moods. In contrast, an irregular verb does not follow these standard conjugation patterns, making memorization necessary.

With its unique 'y' to 'i' shift in certain forms and uses, essayer stands between the realms of regular and irregular verbs. In the present tense, for example, both 'j'essaie' and 'j'essaye' are acceptable, showcasing this flexibility. This mix of predictability and irregularity is what makes studying French both a challenge and a joy. Understanding when each form is appropriate comes with practice and exposure to the language in various scenarios.

The choice between using the 'y' or changing it to 'i' in essayer conjugation often depends on pronunciation ease rather than a hard rule, especially in informal settings.

In summary, mastering the conjugation of essayer requires understanding its regular patterns and the exceptions. Whether you’re expressing what you're trying or what you will try in the future, or what you have tried in the past, essayer is a verb that can add depth to your French repertoire.

Common Mistakes and Tips for Conjugation Essayer

Conjugating essayer , meaning 'to try' in French, can sometimes be tricky for learners. While it follows the general pattern of regular -er verbs, certain nuances can lead to common mistakes. Understanding these can significantly improve your grasp of French verb conjugation.

Avoiding Common Errors with Essayer Conjugation

Conjugating essayer presents unique challenges that often lead to mistakes. Recognizing these can help you avoid them in the future.Here are some frequently encountered pitfalls:

• Mixing up the 'y' to 'i' change: In certain forms, especially in the singular and the third person plural forms of some tenses, 'essayer' changes the 'y' to an 'i'. Not applying this change where necessary is a common error.
• Forgetting the double 's' in the nous form: In the present tense, 'nous essayons' retains the double 's', rather than changing to a single 's', which can be misleading.
• Incorrect auxiliary verb in compound tenses: Using the wrong auxiliary verb (être instead of avoir) for the passé composé and other compound tenses is another typical mistake.

Always double-check the spelling when conjugating essayer , especially for the 'y' to 'i' shift and the use of double 's' in the nous form.

Handy Tips to Remember Conjugation Essayer

To successfully memorise and apply the conjugation of essayer , consider implementing these strategies:Here are beneficial tips to enhance your learning process:

• Create mnemonic devices: Developing unique memory aids can help you recall the specific spelling changes of essayer .
• Practise with sentences: Use essayer in various sentences to get comfortable with its conjugation across different tenses.
• Listen and repeat: Engage with multimedia resources in French to hear the conjugation of essayer in action. Repeating what you hear reinforces learning.

Understanding that the 'y' to 'i' change in essayer conjugation is to facilitate pronunciation can help remember when to apply it. This change occurs before a silent 'e', a common practice in French to make pronunciation smoother. Making such connections between language rules and their practical applications can significantly enhance your language learning.

What is the futur simple?

Le futur simple corresponds to the will-future tense in English. We mostly use this tense to talk about future plans or intentions, as well as to make predictions about what may occur in the future. We conjugate the future tense by adding the endings -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez and -ont to the infinitive of the verb.

We use the futur simple in the following cases:

• to talk about future intentions Example: Demain je rangerai les dossiers. Tomorrow I’ll sort the files.
• to make suppositions or predictions about the future Example: Tu ne finiras jamais en une journée. You’ll never finish that in one day.
• in conditional sentences ( if sentences) Example: Si on range à deux, on finira plus vite. If we tidy up together, we’ll be done faster.

Futur simple vs. futur proche

The futur simple and the futur proche are used in different contexts, sometimes comparable to the English will vs. going to :

Use the futur simple :

• to express events in the more distant future (signal words: dans une semaine, l’année prochaine … ) Example: J’ habiterai encore à Paris dans deux ans . In two years I will still be living in Paris.
• in sentences that contain a subordinate clause introduced by quand, lorsque or dès que. Example: Nous sortirons quand la pluie s’arrêtera. We’ll go out when the rain stops.

Use the futur proche :

• for the immediate future (signal words: dans une minute, dans une heure, ce soir … ) Example: Je vais dîner avec Jacques et Estelle ce soir . I’m going to have dinner with Jacques and Estelle tonight.
• in spoken French

To conjugate the futur simple , we take the infinitive of the verb and add the following endings (for -re verbs, we remove the final e ):

The verbs avoir and être are irregular in the futur simple .

To see the conjugation of any French verb in the futur simple , go to our verb conjugator .

• Add a grave accent to a short e in the stem of the verb. Examples: peser to weigh – je p è serai modeler to model – je mod è lerai
• Many verbs ending in -eler/-eter double the final consonants. Example: jeter to throw – je je tt erai
• Some verbs lose the i of the ending - rir before adding the future ending. Examples: courir to run – je cou rr ai mourir to die – je mou rr ai
• For verbs ending in - yer, the y becomes an i in the futur simple . For verbs ending in - ayer , both y and i are permitted. (Note: the following verbs don’t follow this pattern: envoyer → j’enverrai and renvoyer → je renverrai ). Examples: employer to employ – j’emplo i erai, tu emplo i eras, il emplo i era, nous emplo i erons, vous emplo i erez, ils emplo i eront payer to pay – je pa y erai/pa i erai
• Verbs ending in - oir are irregular in the futur simple , as are aller, envoyer, faire and venir . Check their conjugation in the list of irregular verbs . Example: pouvoir to be able to – je pourrai , tu pourras , il pourra , nous pourrons , vous pourrez , ils pourront

French Future Tense

By: Author David Issokson

Posted on Published: September 12, 2012  - Last updated: July 15, 2024

The French future tense (futur simple) is formed by adding the future ending (-ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont) to the future stem. For example, je parlerai (I will speak). Another future tense called the futur proche is formed by combining the present tense of aller (to go) with an infinitive. For example, je vais parler (I am going to speak).

French future tense

How to form the futur simple.

In French, the futur simple endings are the same for every verb in the the language. For regular -er and -ir verbs, the future stem is the infinitive of the verb. For regular -re verbs the future stem is the infinitive minus the -e.

This table shows the futur simple endings for regular verbs.

Irregular verb stems

Many French verbs have an irregular stem in the futur simple . This means that rather than just adding the ending of the infinitive (je parlerai) , the infinitive appears in a completely different spelling. For example, for the verb être (to be), the futur simple is je serai (I will be).

Futur simple uses

The following example sentences all use the futur simple . You will see that they all include an element of uncertainty.

• Si j’ai l’ argent , j’ achèterai la vo iture . I’ll buy the car if I have the money.
• J’espère qu’elle viendra demain . I hope she’ll come tomorrow.
• Je pense qu’il pleuvra demain. I think it’ll rain tomorrow.
• Je crois que les enfants seront très heureux . I believe the kids will be very happy.

Future-future rule

There is a grammatical in French which I called the “future-future” rule. In English, you say “I will call you when I arrive”. In French, the futur simple is used for both verbs in this kind of sentence. Hence it would look like: “I WILL call you when I WILL arrive” or “Je vous téléphonerai quand j’ariverai” .

The following sentences are examples of the future-future rule. The trigger words for this rule are underlined.

• Je t’appellerai dès que j’aurai les nouvelles. I’ll call you once I get the news.
• Je partirai en vacances quand il fera beau. I’ll go on vacation when it’s nice out .
• Il se couchera dès qu ‘il finira son travail. He’ll go to bed once he finishes his work.
• J’achèterai une maison quand j’aurai assez d’argent. I’ll buy a house when I have enough money.

Si clause sentence with futur simple

The futur simple can be used in sentences like, “If I have the money, I will buy the car”. “Si j’ai l’argent, j’achetèrai la voiture” . The rule is: Si + present tense, then + futur simple . Here are some examples:

• Si j’ai le temps , je partirai en vacances. I’ll go on vacation if I have the time.
• Si j’ai les moyens, j’acheterai le bateau. I’ll buy the boat if I can afford it.

Futur antérieur (past future tense)

The futur antérieur (past future tense) is used to describe actions that will have happened in the future. For example, J’aurai mangé (I will have eaten).

• For verbs which use avoir (to have) as an auxiliary verb in the passé composé , the futur an é rieur is formed with avoir conjugated in the future and the past participle.
• For verbs which use être as an auxiliary verb in the passé composé , conjugate être in the future and add the past particle.

Futur antérieur conjugation

The following table summarizes the conjugations for the French past future tense and includes a reflexive verb .

Futur antérieur example sentences

The future perfect can be used in straight “will have happened” sentences as well as form anteriority – Action A will have happened before action B.

“Will have” sentences

This following are examples of straight “will have” sentences.

• J’aurai appris tous ces verbes avant la fin de l’ année . I will have learned all these verbs before the end of the year.
• Tu aura déjà trouvé un nouveau boulot avant juillet. You will have already found a new job before July.
• Nous aurions acheté une nouvelle maison avant 2027. We will have bought a new house before 2027.

Anteriority examples

The following example sentences introduce the idea of “anteriority”: When action A occurs, action B will have already occurred.

• Quand tu arriveras à la maison, j’aurai déjà fini mon repas . When you get home, I’ll already have finished my meal.
• Quand elle partira, je serai déjà parti. When she leaves, I’ll already have left.
• Dès que tu accepteras ma décision, nous en parlerons. Once you accept my decision, we’ll talk about it.

Probability

The following example sentences express probability: Action A should have happened.

• Il aura encore oublé le rendez-vous! He must have forgotten the meeting again!
• Elle aura encore brûlé le gâteau! She must have burnt the cake again!
• Ils auront encore raté l’examen! They must have failed the exam again!

The following example sentences cover the concept of “whether” – “I wonder if + completed action”.

• Je me demande si elle sera venue. I wonder if she came.
• Je voudrais savoir s’ils auront fini les devoirs. I’d like to know if they finished the homework.
• Je me demande s’il se sera rendu compte de sa faute. I wonder if he realized his mistake.

Futur proche: Near future tense

The futur proche is formed by following a conjugated form of aller (to go) + infinitive . For example, je vais manger (I’m going to eat). Je vais is the conjugated form of aller in the first-person singular form and manger is the infinitive of to eat.

Futur proche conjugation

Futur proche uses and examples

The futur proche often suggests a high level of certainty, meaning it is very likely that the event will happen in the future. The name of the tense is literally the “near” future tense, the described event can occur both in the immediate (next few minutes) or more distant (next few years) future.

The main point is that there is that the level of certainty is higher than the futur simple, which we will see below.

Example sentences:

• Je vais acheter les billets. I am going to buy the tickets (it is certain; I have a reservation).
• Nous allons dîner au restaurant . We are going to eat out (again it is certain, we have a reservation).
• Ils vont achter la maison. They are going to buy the house (Again, it is certain – they got approved for the loan).

To negate the future proche , wrap ne…pas around the conjugated form of aller . This page on our site covers French negation rules in detail.

• Je ne vais pas manger. I’m not going to eat.
• Il ne va pas travailler . He’s not going to dance.

Futur simple

Das futur simple ist eine französische Zeitform der Zukunft und vergleichbar mit dem deutschen Futur I . Das futur simple drückt Absichten , Vermutungen und Handlungen in der Zukunft aus.

Das futur simple ist im Gegensatz zum futur composé (oder futur proche) keine zusammengesetzte Zeitform, sondern besteht nur aus einem Verb .

Du bildest das futur simple, indem du an den Infinitiv des Verbs die Endungen -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez und -ont hängst.

Das sieht dann zum Beispiel so aus:

• tu aimer as
• il / elle / on aimer a
• nous aimer ons
• vous aimer ez
• ils / elles aimer ont

Futur simple = Infinitiv + Endungen -ai , -as , -a , -ons , -ez , ont .

Achtung: Bei Verben auf -re fällt das letzte e weg: Dire → dirai, diras, dira, dirons, direz, diront

Besonderheiten

1. Avoir und être sind unregelmäßig:

2. Stammänderungen im Präsens werden auch im futur simple beibehalten:

• appeler → j’appe ll e → j’appe ll erai
• peser → je p è se → je p è serai
• essayer → j’essa i e → j’essa i erai

3. Bei Verben auf -yer wird, im Gegensatz zum présent, das y bei allen Personen zu i :

• employer → j’emplo i erai

4. Ein paar andere Verben sind auch unregelmäßig:

• aller → j’irai
• faire → je ferai
• venir → je viendrai
• envoyer → j’enverrai
• Verben auf -oir , zum Beispiel voir → je verrai , pouvoir → je pourrai , savoir → saurai oder devoir → devrai

Das futur simple wird in der geschriebenen und gesprochenen Sprache benutzt. Man verwendet es hauptsächlich für Handlungen und Zustände in der Zukunft , aber auch für:

• Absichten für die Zukunft → Demain, je lirai un livre.

Vermutungen für die Zukunft → Tu réussiras ton examen demain.

Konditionalsätze → Si Marie a suffisamment étudié pour l'examen, elle le réussira aussi.

• Dimanche, je partirai en vacances. (Sonntag werde ich in den Urlaub fahren.)
• Est-ce-que tu pourras m’aider ? (Wirst du mir helfen können?)
• Fabien appellera sa grand-mère. (Fabien wird seine Großmutter anrufen.)
• Nous regarderons la télé. (Wir werden fernsehen.)
• Le samedi, vous ferez du shopping. (Samstags werdet ihr einkaufen.)
• Chloé et Émilien chanteront une chanson. (Chloé und Émilien werden ein Lied singen.)
• Viendras -tu me voir à Marseille ? (Wirst du mich in Marseille besuchen?)

Wahrscheinlich hast du gemerkt, dass die Übersetzungen dieser Beispiele ein bisschen unnatürlich klingen. Das liegt daran, dass wir im Deutschen anstatt des Futur I meistens einfach Präsens benutzen.

Anstatt „Sonntag werde ich in den Urlaub fahren.“ würden wir also „Sonntag fahre ich in den Urlaub.“ sagen.

Im Französischen ist es aber ganz normal das futur simple zu verwenden.
