What is Conjugation?

Conjugation is the whole forms a verb can take.

Mode, tense and person determine each form a verb can take.

In French, there are 4 modes:

		Indicative expresses action and general truth.
		Subjonctive expresses a wish, a will or an advice.
		Conditional expresses a condition.
		Imperatif expresses an order.

Each mode is divided into tenses. Difference is done between simple and composed tenses. A composed tense is always built with an auxiliary and a verb in past particile.

Then, each tense has 6 persons marked by personal pronoun je, tu, il/elle/on, nous, vous, ils/elles.

There are also impersonal forms such as participle and infinitive. At finale, there are for one verb neraly one hundred possible forms. But do not panic, most of them are very similar.
