If you want to express your intentions in French and convey polite requests or issue strong commands, you’ve come to the right place! Welcome to the most useful guide to the French vouloir which will teach you everything you need to know about this verb—from conjugation to native-like usage.
The usual meaning of vouloir is “to want” or “to wish”. It is an irregular verb, which means its conjugation doesn’t necessarily follow regular patterns. Memorizing its conjugation in most of the French tenses and moods is essential if you want to speak the language well.
It is not as complicated as it seems! After all, vouloir, c’est pouvoir ! (“If there is a will, there is a way”) Not to mention that we will tell you everything you need to know about the French conjugation of vouloir .
First, we will take a look at the 8 most common meanings of vouloir. Then, we will learn the 9 key conjugations of vouloir . Unless you aim to speak at a Shakespearean level, you won’t really need the tenses and moods that are not on the list. Let’s focus on what is going to be useful for a modern learner of French.
