How Is Conclure (to Conclude) Conjugated in French

To conclude in French is the verb  conclure. While thats a relatively easy one to remember, the verb conjugations will be a challenge for some French students. That is because  conclure  is an irregular verb and it shares a pattern with only a handful of other words.   Conjugating the French Verb  Conclure Unlike some French verb conjugations, conclure  does not follow a common verb conjugation pattern.  Conclure  is an  irregular verb  and the various endings are only found in other verbs that end with - ure. This includes inclure  (to include),  exclure  (to exclude), and  occlure  (to occlude). While you will find these conjugations more difficult to memorize, studying all four at the same time is a good idea. Thats because this small group attaches the same infinitive endings to the verb stem. In the case of  conclure, the stem is  conclu-. For the  je  (I) present tense, an -s  is added to form je conclus. Likewise, -rons  is added to the stem to construct the future tense  nous  (we) form, nous conclurons. Keep these endings in mind and apply them the other -ure  words. Subject Present Future Imperfect je conclus conclurai concluais tu conclus concluras concluais il conclut conclura concluait nous concluons conclurons concluions vous concluez conclurez concluiez ils concluent concluront concluaient The Present Participle of  Conclure Adding -ant  to the stem of  conclure  gives you the  present participle  concluant. While its often used as a verb, there are also times when you will find it helpful as an adjective, gerund, or noun. The Past Participle and Passà © Composà © The past tense in French can be expressed using the imperfect or the  passà © composà ©. The latter requires less memorization, but uses a simple construction thats important to know. To form this, begin with a conjugate of the  auxiliary verb  avoir  to match your subject pronoun. Then, attach the  past participle  conclu. For instance, I concluded is jai conclu and we concluded is nous avons conclu. More Simple  Conclure  Conjugations to Know When you need to imply some sort of question to the verb  conclure, the subjunctive or conditional verb moods are used. The subjunctive is used when the verb is uncertain and the conditional when its dependent on circumstances. In literature, you may come across the passà © simple or the imperfect subjunctive forms. These are rare and, in the least, you should be able to recognize them as a conjugation of  conclure.
