There are many tenses within the subjunctive mood, but here we\u2019ll focus on the most common one: the present <strong>subjunctive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>When do we use the French subjunctive?<\/h3>\n<p>We use the French subjunctive when we\u2019re talking about something that is uncertain, subjective or perhaps unreal. Verbs fall into the subjunctive when they follow a conjunction expressing one of the following things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A goal;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A condition;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A fear;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Time, cause and consequence (in some cases).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Generally speaking, <strong>the French subjunctive follows <em>que<\/em><\/strong><em>,<\/em> so if you come across a conjunctive ending with de or \u00e0, you don\u2019t need to use the subjunctive, even if it falls into one of the above categories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are also a set of French subjunctive phrases that come up time and time again<\/strong>, which you can simply learn by heart. We\u2019ll cover these a little later.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38422\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/subjunctive-french-tense-learning-e1634719924170.jpg\" alt=\"girl-student-books-study-school\" width=\"700\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/subjunctive-french-tense-learning-e1634719924170-200x63.jpg 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/subjunctive-french-tense-learning-e1634719924170-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/subjunctive-french-tense-learning-e1634719924170-400x125.jpg 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/subjunctive-french-tense-learning-e1634719924170-600x188.jpg 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/subjunctive-french-tense-learning-e1634719924170-768x240.jpg 768w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/subjunctive-french-tense-learning-e1634719924170-800x250.jpg 800w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/subjunctive-french-tense-learning-e1634719924170-1024x320.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/subjunctive-french-tense-learning-e1634719924170.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>French subjunctive conjugation: first group verbs<\/h2>\n<p><strong>All French verbs are conjugated in the subjunctive according to the pattern below<\/strong>.

The best thing is to learn them by heart \u2013 that way you won\u2019t have to conjure up a table of the French subjunctive in your head every time you want to use one!<\/p>\n<p>Here are <strong>just a few key impersonal phrases<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Il faut que\u2026<\/em> (\u201cIt\u2019s necessary to\u2026\u201d)<\/li>\n<li><em>Il vaut mieux que\u2026<\/em> (\u201cIt\u2019s best to\u2026\u201d)<\/li>\n<li><em>Il est urgent que\u2026<\/em> (\u201cIt\u2019s urgent to\u2026\u201d)<\/li>\n<li><em>Il est bon que\u2026<\/em> (\u201cIt\u2019s good to\u2026\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make sure to <strong>remember these ones too<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Aimer que\u2026<\/em> (\u201cTo like\/love that\u2026\u201d)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Vouloir que\u2026<\/em> (\u201cTo want that\u2026\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The subjunctive is full of tricks, so watch out for<strong> these two phrases, which actually take the indicative<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Il semble que\u2026<\/em> (\u201cIt seems that\u2026\u201d)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Esp\u00e9rer que\u2026<\/em> (\u201cTo hope that\u2026\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Using the French subjunctive in negative phrases<\/h2>\n<p>Things can get a little tricky in negative phrases. Whereas verbs like <em>penser<\/em> (to think) and <em>croire<\/em> (to believe) indicate certainty in a positive construction and take the indicative, they indicate uncertainty or doubt in the negative, necessitating the subjunctive. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Je <strong>ne<\/strong> pense <strong>pas<\/strong> qu\u2019il <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">revienne<\/span><\/em> (\u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s coming back\u201d)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Elle <strong>ne<\/strong> croit <strong>pas<\/strong> que sa s\u0153ur <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">dise<\/span> la v\u00e9rit\u00e9<\/em> (\u201cShe doesn\u2019t believe her sister is telling the truth\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Careful! When using <strong>negative pronouns such as <em>ne\u2026 personne<\/em> and <em>ne\u2026 rien<\/em>, you\u2019ll also need to use the subjunctive<\/strong>. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><em>Je <strong>ne<\/strong> connais <strong>personne<\/strong> qui <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">sache<\/span> parler le grec<\/em> (\u201cI don\u2019t know anyone who knows how to speak Greek\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>French subjunctive practice on GlobalExam<\/h2>\n<p>Tackling the trickiest of grammar topics is so much easier when you\u2019ve got the right learning tools. <strong>It\u2019s free to create an account with GlobalExam<\/strong> and test out our e-learning platform, so why not give it a go?<\/p>\n<p>If you want to put your knowledge of how to form the subjunctive in French to the test, head straight for our French subjunctive conjugation exercises!
