动词是法语的引擎。无论您是在conjugating regular patterns，应对irregular stems，还是精通subjunctive mood，理解动词的运作方式都是实现流利表达的关键。请通过 PrepMyFrench 互动练习 练习这些模式，以建立肌肉记忆。
French verbs are divided into three groups: 1st group (-er verbs, the largest and most regular), 2nd group (-ir verbs ending in -issant like finir), and 3rd group (all others including -re and -oir verbs, many irregular). The auxiliary verbs avoir and être are the foundation of all compound tenses. Learning the top 50 most common French verbs covers the vast majority of everyday usage.
这些动词描述身体或心理活动，是句子的主要驱动力。
这些动词描述的是存在状态、情感或所有权，而非具体的身体动作。
法语动词根据其不定式结尾分为三组，这决定了它们的变位模式。请查看 PrepMyFrench 动词变位器 获取即时表格。
Je parle anglais et français couramment.
I speak English and French fluently. (-er verb, 1st group)
Nous finissons le projet cette semaine.
We're finishing the project this week. (-ir verb, 2nd group)
Elle attend le bus depuis vingt minutes.
She's been waiting for the bus for twenty minutes. (-re verb, 3rd group)
Il faut que tu fasses attention.
You need to be careful. (falloir + subjonctif)
Je voudrais un café, s'il vous plaît.
I would like a coffee, please. (conditionnel — polite request)
Ayant fini mon travail, je suis rentré.
Having finished my work, I went home. (participe composé — formal)
Je suis parle français.
Je parle français.
French present tense is SIMPLE: Je parle. Unlike English, there is no 'am speaking' form. Never use être + verb to express present continuous — that's an anglicism.
Il faut que tu fais attention.
Il faut que tu fasses attention.
Il faut que triggers the SUBJUNCTIVE. After expressions of necessity (il faut que, il est nécessaire que), always use the subjunctive. This is tested at B1.
Si j'aurais su, je serais venu.
Si j'avais su, je serais venu.
After si, NEVER use conditionnel. Use plus-que-parfait for type 3 conditionals. The conditional form belongs in the result clause: je serais venu.
🏛️ The Three Verb Clubs
French verbs are like three clubs with different dress codes. Club -ER (90% of verbs) — the biggest, friendliest club where everyone follows the same rules. Club -IR (issant verbs like finir) — smaller, but still regular once you know the pattern. Club -RE/-OIR/-IR (tout le reste) — the exclusive, irregular club where every member has their own style. Être and avoir are the VIP hosts that get you into all the compound-tense after-parties!
Verb conjugation is assessed at every TEF/TCF level. A1: present of regular -er verbs and être/avoir. A2: passé composé, common irregulars. B1: subjonctif présent, conditionnel, all compound tenses. B2: subjonctif passé, participe composé, all literary tenses for recognition. The verbs most frequently tested in grammar sections are être, avoir, faire, aller, pouvoir, vouloir, and devoir.
A student struggling with verb groups:
Pourquoi y a-t-il trois groupes de verbes ? C'est compliqué !
90% des verbes sont du 1er groupe (-er). Si tu maîtrises parler, tu maîtrises 90% des verbes français.
Et les verbes complètement irréguliers comme être ?
Il n'y en a qu'une vingtaine de vraiment irréguliers. Apprends-les un par un. Les autres suivent des sous-modèles : venir comme tenir, mettre comme battre.
