How to Conjugate the French Verb "Payer" (to Pay)

• Pronunciation & Conversation
• Resources For Teachers

When you want to say "to pay" in French, you'll use the verb  payer . This is different than  acheter , which means "to buy," though studying both is not a bad idea because they're both useful for expanding your French shopping vocabulary .

You will also need to know how to conjugate these verbs. This lesson will walk you through the basic conjugations for  payer  so you can say things such as "I will pay" and "we paid" in French.

The Basic Conjugations of  Payer

Payer  is an  optional stem-changing verb , which is common for words that end in - ayer . This means that in the present singular and all future tenses the  y  changes to an  i  in the verb's stem of  pay- . However, this is optional, so you will notice two conjugations for each case where the stem may change.

Use the chart to study and memorize the most basic conjugations of  payer . You will match the subject pronoun to the appropriate tense for your sentence. For instance, "I am paying" is  je paie  or  je paye  and "we paid" is  nous payions .

Practicing these conjugations in context will help you commit them to memory. Luckily, there are  many common expressions with  payer , so you can use those include those in your studies.

The Present Participle of Payer

There is no stem change when you form the  present participle  of  payer . Instead, the - ant  ending is added to the verb stem to produce  payant.

Payer  in the Compound Past Tense

In French, one of the most common compound past tenses is known as the  passé composé . Rather than use the subject pronoun alone, you'll form it with the  auxiliary verb   avoir  and the  past participle   payé .

When constructing this, you'll conjugate  avoir   into the present tense that matches the subject, then attach the past participle. For example, "I paid" is  j'ai payé  and "we paid" is  nous avons payé .

More Simple Conjugations of  Payer

The conjugations above will be used most often, though there are a few more forms that you may need or encounter. Again, you'll notice the optional stem change in the subjunctive and conditional moods, so pay attention to those changes.

You might not use these forms of  payer  often, though they can be useful. The subjunctive , for instance, says that the action may or may not happen. In a similar fashion, the conditional  says that the action is dependent on another action. The other two— the passé simple  and  imperfect subjunctive —are used less often, though it is a good idea to at least be able to recognize them as a form of  payer .

You might also find it useful to use the imperative forms of payer . These are reserved for short commands and requests and there's no need to include the subject pronoun. Rather than nous payons , you can simplify it to payons .

What is le présent ?

The present tense in French grammar (le présent) corresponds to the English simple present . It talks about facts, current situations and repeated actions in the present, as well as scheduled future actions. To conjugate a verb in the French present tense, we add specific endings to the infinitive of the verb depending on whether it ends in -er, -ir or -re.

Learn all about le présent in French grammar with Lingolia’s quick and easy examples, then put your knowledge to the test in the exercises.

Le garçon s’appelle Félix. Tous les mardis, il va à l’entraînement de football. Il joue au football depuis cinq ans.

Mardi prochain à 14 heures, son équipe a un match important.

We use the French present tense to express:

• facts and ongoing situations in the present
• actions that happen once, multiple times or never in the present
• a future action that is already planned or agreed upon (requires a specific future time indicator)
• the duration of actions that started in the past and are ongoing in the present. Note: French uses the present tense to express this idea, but English talks about duration using the present perfect simple or continuous tenses.

To conjugate French verbs in the present tense, we remove the infinitive ending (-er, -ir or -re) and add the following endings:

The table below shows the present tense conjugation of -er verbs:

Spelling Rules and Exceptions

• For verbs ending in -ger , we add an e before the letter o in the nous form in order to preserve the pronunciation of the g .
• For verbs ending in - cer , the c becomes ç before the letter o in the nous form in order to preserve pronunciation.
• For verbs ending in -yer , the y becomes an i in the singular forms as well as in the 3 rd person plural. (For verbs ending in - ayer , we can write either i or y .)
• For many verbs that end in - eler or - eter, the final consonant is doubled before a silent e . (Exceptions: acheter buy , déceler discover , geler freeze , haleter pant , harceler harass , modeler model , peler peel )
• If the final syllable of the word stem contains an e or é, we give it a grave accent ( accent grave ) in its conjugated forms (apart from the 1 st and 2 nd person plural).
• Remember: the verb aller is irregular .

The majority of -ir verbs belong to type 1, which means that the plural forms add -iss- before the present tense endings:

Many common verbs are conjugated in this way: applaudir applaud , choisir choose , divertir amuse , fleurir bloom , grandir grow , grossir put on weight , guérir cure , haïr hate , maigrir lose weight , nourrir nourish/feed , obéir obey , pâlir go pale , punir punish , ralentir slow down , remplir (re)fill , réjouir celebrate , réunir meet , réussir succeed , rougir blush , saisir grasp , vieillir to age , etc.

Type 2 -ir verbs can be divided into two kinds: verbs that are conjugated in the same way as -er verbs, and verbs that are conjugated with -s/-s/-t in the singular forms

*Other verbs that follow the same conjugation include: accueillir welcome , couvrir cover , cueillir gather , découvrir discover , ouvrir open , souffrir suffer , etc.

**Other verbs that follow the same conjugation include: courir run , fuir run away , mentir lie , partir leave , sentir feel , servir serve , sortir go out , etc.

Note: the verbs venir and tenir are completely irregular .

Regular -re verbs are conjugated as follows:

Verbs that end in - oir such as recevoir receive , apercevoir glimpse , concevoir design , décevoir disappoint , percevoir perceive are conjugated as follows:

Note: the verbs avoir have , devoir must , mouvoir move , pouvoir be able to , savoir know , voir see und vouloir want are irregular and are not conjugated in the same way as recevoir . Check out their conjugations on our page on irregular verbs in French and practise in the exercises.
