法语动词变位

法语动词变位(法語:Conjugaison du verbe en français),是指法语动词为了表达不同的语式时态人称而产生的形式变化。法语动词可以分为三组:

  • 第一组:不定式以-er(aller除外)
  • 第二组:不定式以-ir结尾,现在分词以-issant结尾

(以上两组为规则动词)

  • 第三组:不规则动词
    • 第一部分:不定式以-ir结尾,现在分词以-ant结尾
    • 第二部分:不定式以-oir结尾
    • 第三部分:不定式以-re结尾
    • aller

法语第三组动词具有封闭性,不再增加新的动词,大部分新增动词(如téléviser, atomiser, radiographier)列入第一组,少数新增动词(如alunir)属于第二组。

语气和时态

法语变位中七种不同语气:直陈式(indicatif),虚拟式(subjonctif),条件式(conditionnel),命令式(impératif),分词(participe),不定式(infinitif),动名词(gérondif)

需要结合语气描述的时态如下所示,时态有时需要借助助动词来表达:

  • 直陈式
    • 现在时 (présent)[a]
    • 复合过去时 (passé composé):使用依現在時變位的助動詞。
    • 未完成过去时 (imparfait)[a]
    • 愈过去时 (plus-que-parfait):使用依未完成過去時變位的助動詞。
    • 简单过去时 (passé simple)[a][b]
    • 先过去时 (passé antérieur):使用依簡單過去時變位的助動詞。[b]
    • 简单将来时 (futur simple)[a]
    • 先将来时 (futur antérieur):使用依簡單將來時變位的助動詞。
  • 虚拟式
    • 现在时[a]
    • 过去时 (passé):使用依虛擬式現在時變位的助動詞。
    • 未完成过去时[a][b]
    • 愈过去时:使用依虛擬式未完成過去時變位的助動詞。[b]
  • 命令式
    • 现在时[a]
    • 过去时:使用依命令式現在時變位的助動詞。[c]
  • 条件式
    • 现在时[a]
    • 过去时 (形式 1):使用依條件式現在時變位的助動詞。
    • 过去时 (形式 2):使用依虛擬式未完成過去時變位的助動詞。[c]
  • 不定式
    • 现在时[a]
    • 过去时:使用依不定式現在時變位的助動詞。
  • 分词
    • 现在分词[a]
    • 过去分词[a]
  • 动名词:將現在分詞置於介係詞"en"之後構成。

助动词

Avoir

该动词在变位时词干会发生变化。未完成过去时变为av- /av/;虚拟式现在时变为ai- /ɛ/;将来时和条件式变为aur- /oʁ/;简单和虚拟式过去时变为e- (不发音: eus,eusse分别读成/y//ys/)。 尽管词干会改变,但这些时态的变化也常被归类为规则的 -oir 动词.

在现在时中,不仅词干会变化,时态变化也是不规则的:

Avoir
 
直陈式 虚拟 条件式 命令式
现在时 简单过去时 未完成过去时 简单将来时 现在时 未完成过去时 现在时 现在时
j' ai /e/ eus /y/ avais /avɛ/ aurai /oʁe/ aie /ɛ/ eusse /ys/ aurais /oʁɛ/
tu as /a/ auras /oʁa/ aies /ɛ/ eusses /ys/ aie* /ɛ/
il/elle/on a /a/ eut /y/ avait /avɛ/ aura /oʁa/ ait /ɛ/ eût /y/ aurait /oʁɛ/

ils/elles ont /ɔ̃/ eurent /yʁ/ avaient /avɛ/ auront /oʁɔ̃/ aient /ɛ/ eussent /ys/ auraient /oʁɛ/

* 须注意命令式使用虚拟语气变位。

非限定形式:

  • 不定式:avoir /avwaʁ/
  • 现在分词:ayant /ejɑ̃/
  • 动名词:en ayant /ɑ̃n‿ejɑ̃/
  • 动词性形容词:ayant(s) /ejɑ̃/, ayante(s) /ejɑ̃t/
  • 过去分词:eu(e)(s) /y/

助动词:avoir

Être

该动词在变位时词干会发生变化,读音也有所不同:未完成过去时变为ét- /et/;虚拟式现在时变为soi- /swa/;将来时和条件式变为ser- /səʁ/;简单和虚拟式过去时变为/f/。涉及时态变化的均为-oir词尾的常规动词(也就是说是-re形式动词,但在f-形式下带有元音u /y/)。例如,虚拟式soyons, soyez发音时带有其他-re-oir动词的y音(/swajɔ̃, swaje/)。

在一般现在时中,不仅词干变化,词缀也会发生不规则变化:

Être "to be"

'现在时 简单过去式 未完成过去时 简单将来时 现在时 未完成过去时 现在时 现在时
je suis /sɥi/ fus /fy/ étais /etɛ/ serai /səʁe/ sois /swa/ fusse /fys/ serais /səʁɛ/

ils/elles sont /sɔ̃/ furent /fyʁ/ étaient /etɛ/ seront /səʁɔ̃/ soient /swa/ fussent /fys/ seraient /səʁɛ/

* 须注意命令式使用虚拟语气变位。

非限定形式使用词干êt-/ɛt/(用在辅音之前)/ét- /et/(用在元音之前):

  • 不定式:être
  • 现在分词:étant
  • 动名词:en étant
  • 动词性形容词:étant(e)(s)
  • 过去分词:été

助动词:avoir

第一组动词 (以 -er 结尾的动词)

-er結尾的法語動詞占據法語動詞的大部分,並與其他動詞變化有所區別。許多情況下在詞根與屈折詞綴中間可能會插入母音,此組動詞中會插入不發音的 -e- (簡單現在時單數)、-ai /e/ (過去分詞與簡單過去時的je)、以及 -a- /a/ (其餘過去簡單時以及虛擬式未完成過去時)。此外,正字法中-ir-re 結尾動詞在現在時和過去分詞出現的-t 在此類動詞中不存在,因此詞綴的最後子音為 -Ø, -s, -Ø ,而非其他類動詞的 -s, -s, -t

非限定動詞形式:

  • 不定式:parl-er /paʁle/
  • 現在分詞:parl-ant /paʁlɑ̃/
  • 動名詞: en parl-ant /ɑ̃ paʁlɑ̃/
  • 動詞性形容詞:parl-ant(s) /paʁlɑ̃/, parl-ante(s) /paʁlɑ̃t/
  • 過去分詞: parl-é(e)(s) /paʁle/

助動詞:avoir (arriver, entrer, monter, passer, rester, rentrer, retourner, 與 tomber 使用 être)

特殊情况:

  • 直陈式或虚拟式第一人称单数一般现在时采用倒装形式时,其词尾的e须变成é(一般用法)或è(现代修正用法),连接两个词,例如:« Parlè-je ? »(/paʁlɛʒ/),“我可以讲话了吗?”(不过这个结构非常少见)。
  • 命令式第二人称单数后跟宾语yen饰,其词尾须加s,例如:« Parles-en ! »([paʁlzɑ̃]),“讲讲!”

特殊动词:

  • 动词aller尽管以-er结尾,但属于第三组不规则动词。
  • -cer结尾的动词,在ao开头词尾前的c须变成ç,表示该词仍发/s/音(je déplace - nous déplaçons);类似地,以-ger结尾的动词,在类似的词尾前的g须变成ge,表示该词仍发/ʒ/音(je mange - nous mangeons)。
  • -oyer-uyer结尾的动词,在哑音e开头词尾前的y须变成i(nous envoyons - j'envoie);在-ayer结尾的动词中,类似词尾前的y可选择变成i(je paye - je paie)。另外,未来时和条件式的envoyerenverr-开头,而不是envoyer-,类似于renvoyer
  • -é.er结尾的动词,哑音结尾前的é'变成è,未来时和条件式可变可不变。
  • 其他大多数以-eler-eter结尾的-e.er动词,哑音e开头词尾前的e变成è(含未来时和条件式结尾)。例如:peler(剥皮)-> je pèle(现在时)/ je pèlerai(未来时)/ je pèlerais(条件式)。
  • 大多数以-eler-eter结尾的动词,哑音e开头词尾前e变成è,或将lt变成lltt。该形式的其他动词仅允许存在一种或其他形式。例如:appeler(呼唤)-> j'appelle(现在时) / j'appellerai(未来时) / j'appellerais(条件式)。
  • 下列动词的形容词形式的变化不规则:adhérer - adhérent(e)(s); coïncider - coïncident(e)(s); confluer - confluent(e)(s); affluer - affluent(e)(s); converger - convergent(e)(s); déterger - détergent(e)(s); différer - différent(e)(s); exceller - excellent(e)(s); diverger - divergent(e)(s); négliger, négligent(e)(s); précéder - précédent(e)(s); violer - violent(e)(s); influer - influent(e)(s); communiquer - communicant(e)(s); suffoquer - suffocant(e)(s); provoquer - provocant(e)(s); naviguer - navigant(e)(s); déléguer - délégant(e)(s); fatiguer - fatigant(e)(s); intriguer - intrigant(e)(s)。

第二组动词 (以 -ir 结尾的动词 / 现在分词以 -issant 结尾)

-ir结尾动词与-er结尾动词有几处不同:

  • 元音均变为-i,例如过去时虚拟式为-isse,而非-er结尾动词的-asse
  • 少数一般式动词本身都会产生变化,尽管该词完全是正字法,不会影响读音:在一般现在时和过去时中,这些词结尾变为-s、-s、-t,而非-
  • A few of the singular inflections themselves change, though this is purely orthographic and does not affect the pronunciation: in the simple present and past, these are -s, -s, -t rather than -Ø, -s, -Ø. (The change in pronunciation is due to the change of vowel from e, ai, a to -i-.)
  • In the simple present, imperfect, the present subjunctive, and the gerund, a suffix -iss- /is/ appears between the root and the inflectional endings. In the simple present singular, this suffix has disappeared and the endings are -is, -is, -it.

  • 動名詞: en chois-issant /ɑ̃ ʃwazisɑ̃/
  • 動詞性形容詞: chois-issant(s) /ʃwazisɑ̃/, chois-issante(s) /ʃwazisɑ̃t/
  • 過去分詞: chois-i(e)(s) /ʃwazi/

助動詞: avoir (用 partir 時助動詞使用 être)

haïr

動詞 haïr 在現在簡單時的單數形式中会失去分音符號 (i 去除了他的變音符號, 代表初始音節的發音是單個元音 /ɛ/ 而不是分開發音的 /ai/): 單數:je hais, tu hais, il/elle hait 複數:nous haïssons, vous haïssez, ils/elles haïssent /ʒə ɛ, ty ɛ, il ɛ, nu aisɔ̃, vu aise, il ais/. Hais 用於祈使句. 在其他形式中, 詞根是 /ai/ (imperfect and present & past subjunctive /ais/-, future and conditional /aiʁ/-).

魁北克法語 使用另外一種變位規則。在魁北克法語中,在歐洲法語裡發音不同的兩種詞幹都發/ai/。因此所有形式都使用帶分音符的ï: J'haïs, tu haïs, il/elle haït, nous haïssons, vous haïssez, ils/elles haïssent. 請注意, 魁北克法語裡haïrh 是不發音的, 所以魁北克法語裡 Je 省略為 j'haïs /ʒai/ 而歐洲法語使用 je hais /ʒə.ɛ/.

第三组动词

First sub-conjugation: Verbs with seven principal parts

Most irregular French verbs can be described with seven principal parts. In reality, few if any verbs have separate stems for all seven parts; instead, they tend to "inherit" the same stem as another part. Note that the endings for these verbs are basically the same as for regular -ir verbs; in fact, regular -ir verbs can be fit into this scheme by treating the -iss- variants as different principal parts.

Principal part How to get the stem "Inherited" (regular) value of stem
infinitive Remove ending -er, -ir, -oir, -re
First singular present indicative Remove ending -s, -e Infinitive stem
First plural present indicative Remove ending -ons Infinitive stem
Third plural present indicative Remove ending -ent First plural present stem
(First singular) future Remove ending -ai Full infinitive stem (minus any -e)
(Masculine singular) past participle Full word Infinitive stem, plus -i (plus -u if ends -re)
(First singular) simple past Remove ending -s, -ai Past participle (minus any -s or -t)

The following table shows how the paradigm of an irregular verb is constructed from its principal parts. Note that a few verbs construct the present indicative (especially the singular) differently.

Paradigm for most irregular verbs (7 principal parts)

ils 3P+ent PAST+rent 1P+aient FUT+ont 3P+ent PAST+ssent FUT+aient

1 The -t is regularly dropped when directly following a d or t (e.g. il vend "he sells", not *il vendt).

Non-finite forms:

  • Infinitive: (full infinitive, with suffix)
  • Present participle: 1P-ant
  • Gerundive: en 1P-ant
  • Verbal adjective: 1P-ant(e)(s)
  • Past participle: PP(e)(s)

The following table gives principal parts for a number of irregular verbs. There are a number of fair-sized groups of verbs that are conjugated alike; these are listed first. There are some additional irregularities in the present indicative, which are listed below. Nearly all irregularities affect the singular, and are purely issues of spelling. (Stems that are irregular in the sense of being unpredictable by the above rules are given in boldface.)

1 Only in Quebec French

2 The ending -t is regularly dropped when directly following a d or t (e.g. il vend "he sells", not *il vendt).

3 Alternation of "-ai-" and -oi- before consonant or unstressed e, "-ay-" and -oy- before other vowels is automatic in all verbs.

The following table shows an example paradigm of one of these verbs, recevoir "to receive".

Verbs with eleven principal parts

Nine verbs also have an irregular subjunctive stem, used at least for the singular and third plural of the present subjunctive. These verbs can be said to have 11 principal parts, because the subjunctive stem may or may not be used for the first and second plural present subjunctive, the imperative and/or the present participle, in ways that vary from verb to verb.

The following table shows how the paradigm of an 11-principal-part irregular verb is constructed from its principal parts. Note that these verbs are generally the most irregular verbs in French, and many of them construct the present indicative (especially the singular) in an idiosyncratic fashion. The verb aller also constructs its past participle and simple past differently, according to the endings for -er verbs.

Aller

The verb aller means "to go" and is sufficiently irregular that it merits listing its conjugation in full. It is the only verb with the first group ending "er" to have an irregular conjugation. It belongs to none of the three sections of the third group, and is often categorized on its own. The verb has different stems for different tenses. These are all pronounced differently: past all- /al/ (simple past, imperfect, past subjunctive); present subjunctive aill- /aj/; conditional and future ir- /iʁ/. The inflections of these tenses are completely regular, and pronounced as in any other -er verb. However, in the simple present, not only are there stem changes, but the inflections are irregular as well:

Aller "to go"
 
Indicative Subjunctive Conditional Imperative
Present Simple past Imperfect Future Present Imperfect Present Present
je vais, vas1 /vɛ/, /va/ allai /ale/ allais /alɛ/ irai /iʁe/ aille /aj/ allasse /alas/ irais /iʁɛ/
tu vas /va/ allas allais iras ailles allasses irais va
il/elle/on va /va/ alla allait ira aille allât irait
nous allons /alɔ̃/ allâmes allions irons allions allassions irions allons
vous allez /ale/ allâtes alliez irez alliez allassiez iriez allez
ils/elles vont /vɔ̃/ allèrent allaient iront aillent allassent iraient

The non-finite forms are all based on all- /al/:

  • Infinitive: aller
  • Present participle: allant
  • Gerundive: en allant
  • Verbal adjective: allant(e)(s)
  • Past participle: allé(e)(s)

Auxiliary verb: être

1 In Classical French and even in certain dialects (like in Cajun and some Quebec dialects) je vas is used.

1. 在疑問句中,這個 e 會被寫成 é (傳統拼法) 或 è (修正拼法),並且發做半開母音 è [ɛ]。另外,jee 會變成無聲。例如 je marche /ʒə.maʁʃ/ (我走); marchè-je? /maʁʃɛʒ/ (我走嗎?)

2. 這些動詞的結尾是 -ontils sont (他們是)、 ils ont (他們有)、 ils font (他們做)、 ils vont (他們去)。

2.1. 只有動詞 être 在這些地方會有例外: nous sommes (我們是)、 que je soi-s (~我是), que tu soi-s (~你是)。

2.2. 這些動詞與它們的派生詞的結尾是 -esvous êtes (你們/您是)、 vous faites (你們/您做), vous dites (你們/您說)。

2.3. 只有動詞 êtreavoir 的結尾有 tqu'il/elle/on soi-t (~他/她/我們是)、 qu'il/elle/on ai-t (~他/她/我們有)。

3. 只有 je/tu peux (我/你能夠)、 je/tu veux (我/你想要) 和 je/tu vaux (我/你值得)。

4. 以 -dre 結尾的動詞在第三人稱單數時結尾為 d ,除了以 -indre-soudre 結尾的動詞是以 t 結尾。動詞 vaincre (打敗)和 convaincre (說服) 第三人稱單數的結尾分別為 vaincconvainc

5. 只有這些動詞是這樣變化的: assaillir (攻擊)、 couvrir (覆蓋)、 cueillir (採集)、 défaillir (昏厥)、 offrir (提供)、 ouvrir (開啟)、 souffrir (承受)、 tressaillir (顫抖),以及命令式的 avoir (有)、 savoir (知道)、 vouloir (想要)。

6. 例外有 je vins (我來到了)、 je tins (我拿了)等等,以及 que je vinsse (~我來)、 que je tinsse (~我拿)等等。

現代法語口語的第一人稱複數

第一人稱複數結尾 -ons 以及相應的主格代詞 nous (我們)在現代法語口語中十分少見。但受格的代詞 nous 仍然很常用。[1] 代詞 on 除了做為無人稱代詞之外,也普遍用以取代主格的 nous。例如, nous chantons (我們唱歌)在幾乎所有的口語中都可以被 on chante 取代,除非是特別謹慎的場合。這導致了法語一些動詞形式的消失。然而,動詞詞尾 -ons 仍然可以在命令式中見到: Chantons ! (我們唱歌吧!),而此句在某些情況下也可被 On chante ! 取代。
