FRENCH VERBS.

Signification of the Moods and Tenses of French Verbs. INDICATIVE MOOD.-The Present Tense represents present time only.

The Imperfect represents that which was past at the time of another past action.

The Preterit Definite represents an action at any time pastdefinitely, but without regard to any other past action: as j'eus un cheval,-I had a horse.

The Perfect Tense represents time past with reference to the present: as j'ai lu aujourd'hui,—I have read to-day.

The Pluperfect denotes an action as taking place before another past action: as j'avais déjeuné quand vous vintes,—I had breakfasted when you came.

The Preterit Anterior expresses an action entirely past, and before another action which, itself, took place at the expiration of the former action: as, Hier, aussitôt que j'eus chanté je me endormis, Yesterday, as soon as I had sung, I fell asleep.

The First and Second Future are like these corresponding tenses in English.

The Conditional Present is like the Imp. Subj. in English. The Conditional Past is like the Pluperf. Subj. in English. These last two tenses are here classed in the Indicative Mood after the method of Ollendorff, although they might with equal, or perhaps better propriety be classed under the Subjunctive Mood.

SUBJUNCTIVE. The Subjunctive Mood generally means the aim, the object of some preceding action: as je desire que vous ayes l'argent, I desire that you shall have the money.

The signification of the various tenses is the same as the cor responding tenses in English.
