✅ Complete Conjugation of aller (All Tenses)
The verb aller (to go) is one of the most important and common irregular verbs in the French language. It is critical to master its forms and conjugations for two main reasons:
- Core Irregular Verb: It is a foundational A1 irregular verb that must be fully memorized by every beginner, as its forms do not follow standard patterns.
- Crucial Future Marker: It is the key verb used to form the futur proche (near future tense) and is the most common verb of motion that takes the auxiliary être in compound tenses.
This comprehensive lesson includes clear charts by French teacher David Issokson and professional native audio by voice artist Marie Assel Cambier. Use this page to practice the six main tenses and access the full conjugation table below.
