Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the most frequently asked question I get. Maybe you will find an answer to yours.

Can I conjugate a verb in feminine?
Yes, feminine gender was not forgotten. After the verb conjugation, go to section "other forms". A link to "female gender" allows you to replace pronoun "il" by "elle".

I don't find the expected form for asseoir verbe, is it an error?
Asseoir is a verb with two existing forms: j'assois and j'assieds. Le Conjugueur shows the two conjugated forms but only one is displayed at once. To see the second form, go to the "Other forms" section and click on "2^nd form".
Assoir verb is also recommended by the French Academy revision of 1990.

I conjugated verb descendre but I am surprised to see it conjugated with être auxiliary and not with avoir auxiliary?
This is absolutely normal. In French, some verbs such as descendre allows the two auxiliairies in their conjugation. Of course, sentence meaning is different (eg: J'ai descendu l'armoire à la cave./Je suis descendu par l'escalier.). Bellow the infinitive verb and the group, can be see the used auxiliary. By clicking on "avoir" or "être", it is possible to change the auxiliairy usage.
By default, Le Conjugueur always displays conjugation with auxiliary avoir when the two auxiliaries are allowed except when être is most used. For example: with verb tomber: j'ai tombé la chemise/je suis tombé par terre. In this case, être is more used than avoir.

Is it possible to receive French lessons by mail?
Unfortunately, Le Conjugueur does not have French lessons. It is not a French school.

Why the software is not free ?
Free always has a price for someone. Contrary to what you can think, this website is not free for me. I have to pay for a provider and software licence. On the price, a part goes to the bank for the internet payment, another one is taken to pay Government taxes, another for hardware and finally to buy software licence... At the end, this is not a lot. My strategy is to have a free website and a shareware.

Do you have an iPhone version.
