Le mode subjonctif or the subjunctive mode

Le mode subjonctif or the subjunctive mode is one of the verb modes of the French language. Unlike the indicative which expresses facts or certainties, the subjunctive is used to express uncertain, desired, doubtful, emotional or hypothetical actions. It is important to note that the subjunctive can seem complex and requires regular practice to master its conjugation and use. It is often used in formal, literary contexts or in situations where the expression of emotions and opinions is important.

This mode includes simple beats and compound beats. We will see the most common: the present and the past.

Le présent du subjonctif or the present subjunctive is a verb tense used to express uncertain, desired, emotional or hypothetical actions in the present.

This tense can seem complex in its conjugation and its use, but with regular practice, it becomes easier to employ it correctly.

It is mainly used in formal, literary contexts or in situations where the expression of emotions, opinions and wishes is important.

Le passé du subjonctif or the past subjunctive is a verb tense used to express uncertain, desired or hypothetical actions in the past.

This tense is less common than other verb tenses in French and is mainly used in formal, literary contexts or in situations where the expression of uncertainty, wish or doubt in the past is necessary.

Its conjugation may seem complex, but with regular practice it becomes easier to use it correctly.
