Simple Tenses
Simple tenses consist of a single word (the conjugated verb). They are the foundation of French communication. Check the PrepMyFrench verb conjugator to see how these patterns change across different groups.
Compound Tenses
Compound tenses use an auxiliary verb (avoir or être) plus a past participle. These allow for more nuance in timing and completion. Master these by exploring our advanced grammar guides.
