Page 1: Les Modes Personnels du Verbe
This page focuses on the personal modes of French verbs, specifically the indicative, imperative, and conditional modes. The indicative mode is presented as the mode of reality, expressing actions that are certain to occur. It includes simple tenses like present, past simple, imperfect, and future, as well as compound tenses such as passé composé, past anterior, pluperfect, and future anterior. The imperative mode is described as the mode of giving orders, with only present and past tenses. The conditional mode is explained as the mode of imagination and hypothesis, formed by combining the future stem with imperfect endings.
