French Subjunctive - Regular Conjugations

Unlike using the French subjunctive, conjugating it is relatively straightforward.

To conjugate all regular verbs ending -ER, -IR, and -RE, as well as some irregular* ones, take the 3rd person plural ils form of the present tense of the verb, drop the -ent ending to find the stem, and add the subjunctive endings:

		parler	choisir	rendre	partir	sortir	mettre
	ils	parlent	choisissent	rendent	partent	sortent	mettent
	stem	parl-	choisiss-	rend-	part-	sort-	mett-
Subjunctive endings
... que je	-e	parle	choisisse	rende	parte	sorte	mette
... que tu	-es	parles	choisisses	rendes	partes	sortes	mettes
... qu' il/elle/on	-e	parle	choisisse	rende	parte	sorte	mette
... que nous	-ions	parlions	choisissions	rendions	partions	sortions	mettions
... que vous	-iez	parliez	choisissiez	rendiez	partiez	sortiez	mettiez
... qu' ils/elles	-ent	parlent	choisissent	rendent	partent	sortent	mettent
*Many verbs which are irregular in the present tense are regular in the subjunctive, including all -IR verbs conjugated like partir and sortir and -RE verbs conjugated like mettre. Other irregular verbs as well as all stem-changing verbs have irregular subjunctive conjugations.
