How to play

  1. A pronoun (tu, il / elle, nous, vous, ils / elles) and a French verb in the infinitive appear at the top.
  2. Five present-tense forms of that verb pop up from the holes. Tap the mole showing the form that fits the pronoun (for example, nous + parler → parlons).
  3. A correct whack turns green and reads the form aloud; a wrong one shakes red and dents your accuracy.
  4. Conjugate six prompts per round, and aim to finish with no wrong whacks.

Questions

Which tense does this game practise?

The French present tense (le présent) of 28 common verbs, regular -er, -ir and -re verbs and the everyday irregulars être, avoir, aller, faire, pouvoir and vouloir, for tu, il / elle, nous, vous and ils / elles.

Is this French verb game free?

Yes. It plays in your browser with no sign-up. Sign in only if you want to save the verb forms you practise to your review deck.

Why no je?

In most -er verbs je and il / elle are written the same (je parle, il parle), and in many others je and tu are (je finis, tu finis). With five persons every mole in the game carries a different spelling, so each round has exactly one right answer.
