The French Subjunctive Demystified: How To Master This Surprisingly Simple Aspect Of French Grammar
by Olly Richards
When you're learning French, you'll come across a few sticky points of grammar that can be a little challenging to grasp.
And among these, one of the most notorious is the French subjunctive.
For native English speakers at least, this reputation may come partly from the fact that the subjunctive in English has all but disappeared, so you can't compare it with anything.
But, although the concept might seem strange and unfamiliar, it really isnโt so hard.
So here, Iโll make this mysterious verb form clearer and show you why thereโs really nothing much to be afraid of.
In fact, once you've got over your fear of using the subjunctive, you'll experience a huge fluency boost, as you'll be able to express many finer points of meaning such as wishes, preferences and doubt.
By the way, if you want to learn French through stories, not rules, my top recommendation for language learners is my Uncovered courses, which teach you through StoryLearningยฎ. Click here to find out more and try out the method for free.
In the meantime, back to the subject at handโฆ
Introducing The French Subjunctiveโฆ Through English
There are many different levels of understanding when it comes to the subjunctive.
While grammarians may enjoy debating the finer points of its use, we donโt need to lose ourselves in that level of detail.
Our goal is simply to be able to use it and understand it correctly in French.
To keep things simple, letโs start with English. Have you ever noticed some of the more peculiar expressions we use, like:
โGod save the Queen!โ
or โif I were youโฆโ
They're a bit strange, right? But have you ever wondered why we use the โwrongโ form of the verb in these situations?
Why donโt we say โGod saves the Queen!โ or โif I was youโฆโ?
These sentences would seem correct, wouldnโt they? Except we just know instinctively that theyโre wrong.
The reason is that in these sentences, we're seeing the last remnants of the English subjunctive.
English has practically lost its subjunctive and now it only ever appears in a few set expressions such as these.
In French, however, it is still commonly used โ although much less than in closely related languages like Spanish and Italian.
As is usually the case with grammar, trying to explain the subjunctive makes it sound abstract and complicated.
But with a few of good examples, it suddenly becomes much easier to understand. So that's what we're going to focus on here!
Before we look at the examples, let me give you a brief explanation of what the subjunctive actually is, just so you know what to expect.
What Is The French Subjunctive Anyway?
The subjunctive is usually referred to as a mood rather than a tense, as you use it to show a certain amount of emotion or personal interpretation of what is being said.
A tense, on the other hand, is for indicating when something happened, such as the past, present or future for example.
So right away, we can see that the subjunctive is different because it is a mood, instead of a โnormalโ verb form (known technically as โindicativeโ forms) which are usually used simply to state a fact.
In a nutshell, the subjunctive expresses:
doubts
opinions
hopes
preferences
other similar feelings towards what is being said
You can also use it to talk about hypothetical situations.
In short, the subjunctive is usually found when what we are saying is something other than a simple statement of fact.
Thatโs the theory, but in practice, itโs a little easier to understand because, in modern French, the choice of subjunctive or indicative is almost entirely determined by what comes before it.
The simple rule is that some verbs are followed by the subjunctive and some are followed by the indicative.
This means that all you have to do to master the basics is to remember which verbs take the subjunctive. Thereโs no real need to think about whether you're talking about hopes, desires, fears etc.
Ok, so now you know what the subjunctive basically is. But how does it actually work?
Donโt worry too much if it still seems quite vague. With a few examples, everything will become much clearer.
Verbs That Take The Subjunctive In French
As we just saw, the most frequent occasion when you will meet or need to use the subjunctive is after certain verbs.
Since there's usually no choice of whether to use the subjunctive or the indicative, you simply need to follow the rule.
You'll notice that verbs taking the subjunctive are verbs that express some kind of emotion, like desire, fear, or preference, etc.
At the beginning, remembering this will help you learn which verbs require a subjunctive. After a while, knowing which verbs are followed by a subjunctive will become instinctive.
Here are some common examples to get you started:
For example:
Je veux que tu saches โ I want you to know
Il faut que je parte โ it is necessary for me to leave, I have to leave
Je doute que รงa soit possible โ I doubt (that) thatโs possible
Some common impersonal verbs also take the subjunctive:
Il est nรฉcessaire it is necessary
Il faut must
Il semble it seems
For example:
Il faut que jโaille chercher ma mรจre โ It is necessary that I go and collect my mother
(In English, this is more naturally translated as โI need to go and collect my motherโ.)
A Few Tricky Cases: The French Subjunctive After A Negative
There are a few verbs that only take the subjunctive with the negative forms:
Croire believe
Penser think
For example:
Je ne pense pas quโelle soit capable โ I donโt think she is capable
(Compare with je pense quโelle est capable โ I think she is capable)
Notice that in English, very often, it's more natural to use an infinitive (the โtoโ form) with the verb. In French, however, this is not possible, so we must use que + subjunctive:
Je veux quโil parte โ I want him to leave
Note also that the verb espรฉrer (to hope) doesn't take the subjunctive even though you might expect it to since it's a verb of โhopingโ. This is just a strange exception so try to memorise it and move on!
Linking Expressions That Take A Subjunctive In French
Another common use of the subjunctive in French is following certain linking words and expressions (also known as โconjunctionsโ).
This is actually very simple as it's just a rule you need to followโ thereโs no need to try to understand why it is this way. It's just the way it is!
Some of the most common examples are:
For example:
Il ne mโรฉcoute pas, quoi que je dise โ he doesnโt listen to me, whatever I say
Je te prรฉviens juste pour que tu saches โ Iโm warning you just so (that) you know
Avant que je (ne*) parte โ before I leave
The full list is longer, but these are some of the most useful examples.
Since there are not so many of them, you should just treat them as fixed expressions and remember that they are always followed by a subjunctive. That way, you wonโt have to expend too much brainpower thinking about why!
* Notice the addition of ne here โ ร moins que, avant que and some others add ne in written French and careful speech without changing the meaning. In informal spoken French, native speakers often drop it.
Shortcuts And Avoiding The French Subjunctive
One piece of good news is that many of thesubjunctive forms in French are the same as the โnormalโ, indicative forms.
The largest group of verbs in French is the โer verbs. And the first-person forms are the same for the subjunctive and the indicative, meaning you donโt even need to think about the subjunctive when you use them! Easy!
However, the French-re and -ir verbs change slightly, so you should learn them and get used to using them.
For example, if we add the endings above to the -ir verb partir (leave) to make the subjunctive forms, we get:
je parte
tu partes
elle parte, etc.
In the indicative, or normal verb forms, the equivalents are
je pars
tu pars
elle part
The subjunctive belongs to a higher register of speech in French, so it sounds more formal or more educated than everyday colloquial speech.
In many situations, native speakers avoid it in favour of something simpler. Take this sentence in English:
We need to speak to Paul about it
In French, you could translate this by saying:
Il faut que nous en parlions avec Paul
But two other ways to say this might be:
On a besoin dโen parler avec Paul
Il faut en parler avec Paul
These two sentences use the infinitive, avoiding the subjunctive altogether.
In many cases, it's preferable and more natural to avoid the subjunctive, which in certain situations could sound a bit pompous or contrived.
The Perfect Subjunctive In French
French also has a perfect (or past) form of the subjunctive, although you won't often come across it.
You form it in the same way as the โnormalโ perfect tense. But you use the subjunctive version of avoir or รชtre rather than the indicative forms. Here's an example of a simple sentence where you need to use it:
Je ne crois pas quโelle soit venue โ I donโt believe (that) she came
Note also that this is another example of the verb croire (to believe) requiring the subjunctive in a negative sentence. In a positive sentence, you would say it like this:
Je crois quโelle est venue โ I believe (that) she came
Obsolete French Subjunctive Forms
There are two additional subjunctive forms in French, the imperfect subjunctive and the pluperfect subjunctive.However, before you panic, thereโs more good news โ these two forms are now considered literary or obsolete! No native speaker would ever use them in normal speech.
And the only time you will ever come across them is when reading works of literature.
This means that if your goal is simply using French for communication, you'll never have any reason to learn or use them.
As Easy As โBonjourโ
So hopefully you have seen that the subjunctive in French is relatively easy. As the French say:
C'est simple comme bonjour
In other words, it's โas easy as saying helloโ, or โas easy as pieโ to use an equivalent English expression.
Itโs just a case of remembering which verbs and conjunctions take the subjunctive.
As I said at the beginning, you can lose yourself in the theory. But since all we want to do is use French to communicate, thereโs really no need.
And if youโre still feeling a little puzzled, you can console yourself with the fact that itโs still a lot easier in French than it is in Italian or Spanish! And remember, like all other aspects of French, mastering the subjunctive takes time. So stick with it and it will soon start to sink in.
Master French Grammar The Natural Way
That said, if you want your French grammar to sink in a little quicker so you can express yourself with confidence and accuracy, there is a way.
And it doesn't involve pouring over verb tables or memorising grammar rules out of context.
In fact, it's the complete opposite. It's my programme, French Grammar Herowhere you discover the core of French grammar the natural way, through an immersive story.
