Simple Conjugations of Guérir (to Cure) in French
Simple Conjugations of Guà ©rir (to Cure) in French          The action of healing is described in French by using the verbà  guà ©rir. Literally meaning to cure, to heal, or to recover, it is a useful addition to your French vocabulary. Now, you just need to understand how to conjugate it. A quick lesson will demonstrate the simplest forms.          Conjugating the French Verbà  Guà ©rir      Guà ©rirà  is aà  regular -IR verb, meaning it follows a relatively common conjugation pattern. When you learn the endings for this verb, they can be applied to many others, includingà  grandirà  (to grow) andà  grossirà  (to grow fat).         As with any French verb conjugation, begin by identifying the verb stem. Forà  guà ©rir, this isà  guà ©r-. To this, a variety of infinitive endings is added to match the subject pronoun with the present, future, or imperfect past tense. For example, I am healing is je guà ©ris and we will cure is nous guà ©rirons.                         Subject  Present  Future  Imperfect          je  guà ©ris  guà ©rirai  guà ©rissais      tu  guà ©ris  guà ©riras  guà ©rissais      il  guà ©rit  guà ©rira  guà ©rissait      nous  guà ©rissons  guà ©rirons  guà ©rissions      vous  guà ©rissez  guà ©rirez  guà ©rissiez      ils  guà ©rissent  guà ©riront  guà ©rissaient                    The Present Participle ofà  Guà ©rir      Add -antà  to the verb stem ofà  guà ©rirà  to create theà  present participleà  guà ©rissant. It is a verb, though, in certain contexts, it can also be used as an adjective, gerund, or noun.          The Past Participle and Passà © Composà ©      Theà  past participleà  ofà  guà ©rirà  isà  guà ©ri. This is used along with a conjugate of the auxiliary verbà  avoirà  to create a common past tense in French known as theà  passà © composà ©. Its rather easy to construct: I recovered becomes jai guà ©ri and we have cured is nous avons guà ©ri.          More Simpleà  Guà ©rirà  Conjugations to Learn      When the action of healing, curing, or recovering is somehow questionable or uncertain, you can use the subjunctive verb mood. In a similar fashion, if the action is dependent on something else also occurring, then the conditional verb form may be used.         Those two are great for casual conversation, though the passà © simple and the imperfect subjunctive are literary forms. While you may not use these yourself, its a sound idea to be able to associate them withà  guà ©rir.                           Subject  Subjunctive  Conditional  Passà © Simple  Imperfect Subjunctive          je  guà ©risse  guà ©rirais  guà ©ris  guà ©risse      tu  guà ©risses  guà ©rirais  guà ©ris  guà ©risses      il  guà ©risse  guà ©rirait  guà ©rit  guà ©rà ®t      nous  guà ©rissions  guà ©ririons  guà ©rà ®mes  guà ©rissions      vous  guà ©rissiez  guà ©ririez  guà ©rà ®tes  guà ©rissiez      ils  guà ©rissent  guà ©riraient  guà ©rirent  guà ©rissent                   To expressà  guà ©rirà  in short requests and demands, the imperative verb mood is used. For this, theres no need to include the subject pronoun, so tu guà ©ris can be simplified to guà ©ris.                       Imperative          (tu)  guà ©ris      (nous)  guà ©rissons      (vous)  guà ©rissez
