French verb faire: conjugation by time and inclination

In modern French, there are verbs, without which everyday speech of carriers is not enough. Refers to them and the many-valued faire, the conjugation of which should be remembered one of the first.

The meaning of the verb

Beginners to learn French use basically only 2-3 values of faire: "doing" and "doing something".

• Ce soir je suis occupé, je dois faire mes devoirs. - In the evening I'm busy, I have to do my homework.
• Elle fait de la musique toute sa vie. "She's been playing music all her life.

In addition to these values, faire has such things as "create, create," "order," "force," "act," "harmonize" (for example, about clothing), as well as many conversational options. Also, faire occurs in many sustainable turns and in impersonal terms that describe weather phenomena, everyday activities and playing musical instruments.

Indicative

Consider the basic temporal forms of the verb faire. Conjugation in the present tense is based on fai-in all persons and numbers, except for the ils / elles font form. Also the verb has a special form - vous faites.

In Imparfait, the endings are added to the base of the fais-, while the vowels in the endings are alternating: -ai- appears before unpronounceable letters, and the vowel -i precedes the pronounced endings -ons, -ez, which is characteristic of all verbs in this time.

In Futur, the -r- (fer-) consonant appears at the base, all endings are pronounced.

Passé Composé of this verb is constructed using the auxiliary avoir and the participle fait. This communion is found in all difficult times and in the conditional inclination of the past tense.

The conjugation of the verb faire in Passé Simple is required when reading fiction, it is not used in oral speech. Forms in this case have to remember, because from the initial form, except the first letter, there is nothing left. It should be remembered that forms 1 and 2 of the plural face have a "cap" - accent circonflexe (î).

Conditional and subjunctive inclination faire

Conjugation of the verb in these moods is needed when it comes to actions caused by any factors, about possible or desired actions. For example:

• Si tu savais cette règle, tu ne ferais pas tant de fautes. - If you knew the rule, you would not make so many mistakes (Conditionnel présent in the main sentence)
• Si Pauline était venue à six heures, tu aurais fait tes devoirs avec elle. - If Polina came at 6, you would have done lessons with her (Conditionnel passé in the main sentence)
• Je veux qu'elle fasse des devoirs avec moi. - I want her to do lessons with me (Subjonctif présent in the subordinate clause).

Consider how each of these times is formed.

Forms Conditionnel of the present time are used to describe actions related to the present or future time. In verbs of 3 groups, the base coincides with the base in Futur simple (fer-), and the endings are the same as in Imparfait (tu ferais). In the past tense, you need the auxiliary verb avoir in the form Conditionnel present and the conjugated verb in the form Participle passé (tu aurais fait).

The use of the subjunctive mood in speech allows us to express our attitude, to give an assessment of what is happening, to report on the desired or probable actions. Subjonctif usually occurs in subordinate clauses and depends on the verb in the main sentence. Of the 4 forms most commonly used is the Present du subjonctif, others are much less common in oral speech. The conjugation of the French verb faire in this inclination does not follow the rules, it should be remembered: the basis is fass-. The verb in the subjunctive mood is almost always preceded by que (qu'elle fasse).

Imperative mood

As in Russian, this inclination is used to express requests, wishes, prohibitions or commands. He has 3 forms that coincide with the corresponding forms of the Présent de l'Indicatif (for faire the conjugation is as follows: fais, faisons, faites), the sentences do not use personal pronouns. For example:

• Fais la vasselle, s'il te plait. "Wash the dishes, please."
• Faisons du tennis. - Let's play tennis.
• Faites de la bicyclette, les enfants. - Ride your bike, children.

For negative requests or prohibitions, it is sufficient to put negative particles ne ... pas (or ne ... jamais, ne ... plus, ne ... rien, etc.) before and after the verb, respectively.

• Ne me fais pas peur. - Do not scare me.

After spending a little time studying this verb, you can significantly enrich your speech with new useful phrases.
