Update Description:
Version 2.7.1:
- Forced ralentir to -ir (thanks Berit Reise!)
- Forced vieillir to -ir (thanks Andre Lubineau!)
Version 2.7:
- Code reorganization to make it more general, in preparation for branching out to other languages
- Now shows what group the verb is in
Fixed
- faillir futur/cond. & sub pres to have the modern formation, removed the impératif form
- clore past part.
- clure p.simp.
- ger & -éger ils p.simp.
- ger: ils p.simp. Is diff from sub. Imparfait
- faire present (forgot to remove mod char, thanks a lot of different people)
- pre pass. simp.
- choir participe
- luire pass. simp. which is in fact _not_ the same as the subjonctif imparfait (this one caused a big leap in size because had to redo everything so that passe simple and subjonctif imparfait can be specified differently)
- résoudre's past participle is résolu, not résous
Added
- défaillir is -aillir, not faillir
- répartir, assortir & réassortir to 'force to -ir' list
- enclore & éclore/déclore
- échoir only exists in 3rd person, & it does exist in imparfait, unlike choir
- -raire (to fix raire & braire)
- déchoir
- maudire (past participle adds an 's')
Removed
- -re
- -tre
- bruire & maudire, replaced w/ a force-to-ir entry
- exceptions for luire & nuire
Version 2.6.1:
- Put {me, te, se, nous, vous, se} in infinitif pronomiale
- Fixed:
- éger
- ïr (thanks Jens Olschewski)
- Enir (thanks Olivier Caleff)
- Subjonctif present of vouloir (thanks Marc Guillemont) (it had the wrong vowel in nous & vous) and then fixed the same problem with mourir, ouïr, pourvoir & valoir
- Appeler was getting caught as an irregular -eler because it contains peler which is an irregular -eler
- Descendre & montre are now on the list of être verbs
- Added:
- Added -e(.)er and -é(.)er endings
- Fuir & suivre (thanks Jens Olschewski)
Version 2.6:
- Fixed the sizing glitch that would cut off the dropdowns if they were too long when you conjugated things, but only on OS5; I hate OS5
- Cut out over 2k of useless baggage
- Sped it up drastically: now only call getRule() once + other improvements
- Fixed over 100 memory leaks
- Added agreement to participe
- Fixed gérondif passé passive (it had some garbage being put in from the templates that I forgot to remove) (thanks François Kim)
- Improved docs some, corrected typos (thanks Olivier Caleff & François Kim)
- Fixed algorthm: now it keeps searching the regulars even after finding an irregular match
- Fixed various verbs

Seems the problem with motion verbs was corrected. Pretty useful software to help French lessons.

Looked at this app sometime ago when I first got a palm. It fell down on the verb "s'en aller" and other reflexive verbs. No such problems with the latest version Although "je me en vais" is not strictly correct - "je m'en vais" would be better but this doesn't detract from the app. This will stay!

Ouch! Looking at your program, I see some very bad grammatical errors, especially when dealing with past tense: There are some exceptions when conjugating verbs which define movement (aller, monter, partir, venir etc - there are about 12 or 13). A verb defining motion must be conjugated using être (to be) AND NOT avoir (to have). It's a common mistake: So, when you conjugate the infinitive verb arriver, your program shows j'ai arrivé. This is not correct. It should display je suis arrivé (tu es arrivé, nous somme arrivé etc.) Fix this and you're onto a winner :-)

Hi, this is the author. I feel it's my duty to point out that the program isn't complete. I realized afterwards that there are far more than 6 tenses (there's 5 "voices" and varying numbers of tenses in each grouping, coming to a total of 19). I am doing extensive rewriting to solve this problem, so for now just be aware that it doesn't have everything.

Excellent app for someone learning French or even as a reference. And so small... I know that there are many verbs but it would be nice to have a list built into the app and have a sort of auto-complete (so as you type part... it will automatically input partir). Better still, have the ability to type the verb in english (or another language) and the french word is automatically substituted.

This is a very useful program which I've just tested out on several verbs, including reflexive and etre-using passe-compose verbs. It works very well and doesn't seem to have any problems that I can discern. This should make French assignments a little easier. =)
