Everything you need to know about tense formation

 

One of the biggest advantage with Mappeverbe's learning tools is that you learn how to learn. Indeed, with this mind map, you will learn how all tenses are formed. And there is a logic in it. Thus you will learn how to form at least four tenses out of one tense which is the Indicatif présent.

 

In the end, you will notice that endings are not many and exceptions mostly relate to the truly irregular verbs être (to be) , aller (to go), avoir (to have), faire  (to do or make).

 

A better understanding of what a verb is

 

There are two key elements in a verb form: the stem (radical in French) and the ending (terminaison in French).

Both elements form a single word which is called the conjugated form of verb.

 

Conjugating a verb means giving it all the forms it may take according to tenses and subject pronouns. Verbs use different stems and  types of endings according to tenses.

 

Easier pronunciation with the subject pronoun new order

 

All Mappeverbe's verb learning tools use the following order of subject pronouns:

je, tu, il/ elle/on, ils/elles, nous, vous.

 

Reminder:


 

The stem is the initial part of a verb form: in the form he wins, win is the stem. It indicates its meaning. The stem is also called the root.

The ending is the final part of a verb form: in the form he wins, s is the ending.

Here are a dozen of French verbs whose form is split into stem and ending:
