French conjugation practice

How to practice French conjugation

1. Choose a verb and one tense. Read its six forms aloud.
2. Switch to written practice and type only the verb, without the subject. Include the auxiliary in the passé composé.
3. Review missed forms, then find familiar verbs in a French story.

Accents count: êtes and etes are not the same spelling. Use the accent buttons above the answer feedback. Audio uses an installed French device voice.

Questions about this verb trainer

Can I practice without an account?

Yes. Tables, audio and written practice are free. The latest practice score is stored on this device when browser storage is available.

Does it conjugate every French verb?

No. It covers 32 selected everyday verbs in six common tenses. Reflexive verbs, passive forms, literary tenses and uncommon variants are outside this collection. Search also recognizes listed conjugated forms.

Why do some past participles change?

With être, the participle agrees with the subject: elle est allée, ils sont allés. With avoir, agreement can depend on a preceding direct object; these isolated exercises assume none. The subject on follows the selected agreement here, while real usage depends on who it refers to.
