The Essential Four

These four verbs are the foundation of the French language. They don't follow standard patterns, so they must be memorized thoroughly.

Avoir (to have)

<table class="w-full text-left"><tbody><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold w-1/3 text-sm">J'ai</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Nous avons</td></tr><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold text-sm">Tu as</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Vous avez</td></tr><tr><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold text-sm">Il/Elle a</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Ils/Elles ont</td></tr></tbody></table>

Être (to be)

<table class="w-full text-left"><tbody><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold w-1/3 text-sm">Je suis</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Nous sommes</td></tr><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold text-sm">Tu es</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Vous êtes</td></tr><tr><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold text-sm">Il/Elle est</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Ils/Elles sont</td></tr></tbody></table>

Aller (to go)

<table class="w-full text-left"><tbody><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold w-1/3 text-sm">Je vais</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Nous allons</td></tr><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold text-sm">Tu vas</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Vous allez</td></tr><tr><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold text-sm">Il/Elle va</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Ils/Elles vont</td></tr></tbody></table>

Faire (to do/make)

<table class="w-full text-left"><tbody><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold w-1/3 text-sm">Je fais</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Nous faisons</td></tr><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold text-sm">Tu fais</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Vous faites</td></tr><tr><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold text-sm">Il/Elle fait</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Ils/Elles font</td></tr></tbody></table>

Movement & Words

Venir (to come)

<table class="w-full text-left"><tbody><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-blue-50 font-bold w-1/3 text-sm">Je viens</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Nous venons</td></tr><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-blue-50 font-bold text-sm">Tu viens</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Vous venez</td></tr><tr><td class="p-3 bg-blue-50 font-bold text-sm">Il/Elle vient</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Ils/Elles viennent</td></tr></tbody></table>

Prendre (to take)

<table class="w-full text-left"><tbody><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-blue-50 font-bold w-1/3 text-sm">Je prends</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Nous prenons</td></tr><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-blue-50 font-bold text-sm">Tu prends</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Vous prenez</td></tr><tr><td class="p-3 bg-blue-50 font-bold text-sm">Il/Elle prend</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Ils/Elles prennent</td></tr></tbody></table>

Dire (to say/tell)

<table class="w-full text-left"><tbody><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-blue-50 font-bold w-1/3 text-sm">Je dis</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Nous disons</td></tr><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-blue-50 font-bold text-sm">Tu dis</td><td class="p-3 text-sm font-bold text-red-600">Vous dites</td></tr><tr><td class="p-3 bg-blue-50 font-bold text-sm">Il/Elle dit</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Ils/Elles disent</td></tr></tbody></table>

<table class="w-full text-left"><tbody><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-blue-50 font-bold w-1/3 text-sm">Je vois</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Nous voyons</td></tr><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-blue-50 font-bold text-sm">Tu vois</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Vous voyez</td></tr><tr><td class="p-3 bg-blue-50 font-bold text-sm">Il/Elle voit</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Ils/Elles voient</td></tr></tbody></table>

Notice the pattern: Venir and Prendre double their consonants in the "Ils/Elles" form!

The "Power" Verbs

These verbs follow a similar pattern. For Pouvoir and Vouloir, the Je/Tu forms end in x.

Pouvoir (can/be able)

<table class="w-full text-left"><tbody><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-purple-50 font-bold w-1/3 text-sm">Je peux</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Nous pouvons</td></tr><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-purple-50 font-bold text-sm">Tu peux</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Vous pouvez</td></tr><tr><td class="p-3 bg-purple-50 font-bold text-sm">Il/Elle peut</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Ils/Elles peuvent</td></tr></tbody></table>

Vouloir (to want)

<table class="w-full text-left"><tbody><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-purple-50 font-bold w-1/3 text-sm">Je veux</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Nous voulons</td></tr><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-purple-50 font-bold text-sm">Tu veux</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Vous voulez</td></tr><tr><td class="p-3 bg-purple-50 font-bold text-sm">Il/Elle veut</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Ils/Elles veulent</td></tr></tbody></table>

Devoir (must/have to)

<table class="w-full text-left"><tbody><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold w-1/3 text-sm">Je dois</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Nous devons</td></tr><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold text-sm">Tu dois</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Vous devez</td></tr><tr><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold text-sm">Il/Elle doit</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Ils/Elles doivent</td></tr></tbody></table>

Savoir (to know facts)

<table class="w-full text-left"><tbody><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold w-1/3 text-sm">Je sais</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Nous savons</td></tr><tr class="border-b border-slate-100"><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold text-sm">Tu sais</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Vous savez</td></tr><tr><td class="p-3 bg-slate-50 font-bold text-sm">Il/Elle sait</td><td class="p-3 text-sm">Ils/Elles savent</td></tr></tbody></table>
