French Conjugation Drill Knowing the tense and spelling it are two skills.

Tense Sense gets you to the right tense. This gets the letters right. Pick a tense, or the deck of the ten irregular verbs you lean on most, then write each form out in full, accents and all.

nous · préférer · présent
préférons
accents graded

Built for people who know the verb but botch the form.

  • nous faisons ?

    You read it fine. Writing it from memory, the spelling slips and you second-guess the ending.

  • prefere → préfère

    The accents flip direction. You lose the mark, or put it the wrong way, and the word is wrong.

  • j'irai

    The future of aller looks nothing like aller, and your hand freezes over the keys.

  • avoir · être · aller · faire

    The verbs you use most are exactly the ones that break every regular pattern.

Recognising a form and producing it are not the same.

You can read nous faisons and know what it means, then freeze when you have to write it. Multiple-choice drills let you coast on recognition. This one makes you type the whole form, so the gap between knowing and producing closes.

nous faisons

Write it in full

Type the complete form, no multiple choice. Production is the skill that transfers to actually writing French.

préfère ´`

Accents count

Miss only the accent and you're told it was only the accent, so you fix the precise thing that was wrong.

8 tenses

Every tense

All eight tenses are on the menu, from présent to futur antérieur, drilled the same rigorous way.

avoir · être · aller

The irregular ten

A focused deck of the high-frequency irregulars you actually lean on: avoir, être, aller, faire and more.

#passe-compose

Deep-link a deck

Land straight on a tense or the irregulars from a link, so a weak spot is one tap from practice.

tense → form

From tense to form

The natural next step after Tense Sense: you chose the tense, now produce it letter-perfect.

Beginner to upper-intermediate

Useful the moment you start writing French and keep tripping on forms, and still useful much later for the irregulars and the tenses you rarely produce, like the futur antérieur. Pick a deck to match where you are.

Frequently asked.

Which tenses does the Conjugation Drill cover?

Eight: présent, imparfait, passé composé, plus-que-parfait, passé récent, futur proche, futur simple and futur antérieur. Drill one tense at a time, or the ten top irregular verbs across présent, passé composé and futur simple.

Do accents matter when I answer?

Yes, accents are graded. If the only thing wrong is a missing or misplaced accent, the tool tells you that specifically, so you learn it was the accent and not the whole form.

What's the irregular-verbs deck?

A focused set of the highest-frequency irregular verbs, avoir, être, aller, faire, pouvoir, devoir, vouloir and more, because these carry a huge share of everyday French and break the regular patterns.

How does this relate to Tense Sense?

Tense Sense trains which tense to choose; Conjugation Drill trains writing that tense correctly. Use Tense Sense to pick, then this to produce. You can deep-link straight from one to the other.
