· Grammar. Verb conjugation refers to how a verb changes to show a different person, tense, number or mood.

Verbs ending in ru (る) contain the vowels u, o or a in the preceding syllable. Some exceptions are kaeru (帰る “return home”), hashiru (走る “run”), kiru (切る “cut”), iru (要る, “need”), and hairu (入る “enter”).

Japanese verbs always contain two parts: a verb base and a suffix. Grammatically, verb bases are called “stems.” In the above example: 見 み る, the stem is “mi” and the suffix is “ru” and then they become the plain form. This is the reason why 見 み る is categorized into ru-verbs.

In Japanese, the basic verb form is an imperfective aspect. It is broadly equivalent to the present and future tenses of English, and is sometimes called the “non-past tense”. The imperfective form of a verb is the same as its dictionary form—it is used as the headword, or lemma—and no conjugation needs to be done.

There are seven different moods in French conjugation: indicative (indicatif), subjunctive (subjonctif), conditional (conditionnel), imperative (impératif), infinitive (infinitif), participle (participe), and gerund (gérondif). The infinitive, participle, and gerundive are not verbal moods.

À noter : There is no future subjunctive in French. Even for subjective situations that are clearly set in the future, the present subjunctive is used. Il faut que tu prennes le bus demain.

The immediate future tense is also used to talk about what is going to happen in the future. It is easy to formulate. You need: The present tense of the verb aller + the infinitive of the main verb….How to form the immediate future.

The ‘simple’ future (le futur) is so-named because it is a one-word tense. In other words, its formation is simple because there is no auxiliary. The endings for the simple future are: -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont. The future stem for -er and -ir verbs is the infinitive.

Immediate Future Tense: The Immediate Future Tense describes what is going to happen soon. • Future Tense: The Future Tense describes what will happen eventually. • Conditional Tense: The Conditional Tense describes what would happen.

The French definite articles (articles définis) are le in the masculine singular, la in the feminine singular, l’ for singular nouns that start with a vowel, and les in the plural (both genders).
