The French verb essayer means "to try." It's a simple word that can easily be confused with essuyer (to wipe) , so be sure to look and listen for that 'A' in essayer .
In order to place essayer into the past, present, or future tense, the verb needs to be conjugated . Just follow along in this lesson and you'll be saying "tried" and "trying" in French before you know it.
Conjugating the French Verb Essayer
Essayer is an optional stem-changing verb . Typically with verbs that end in - yer , the 'Y' has to change to an 'I' in certain forms. The rules are a little more casual with essayer as you'll see in the table. When there are two forms of the conjugation, you can use either.
The stem of essayer is essay -. To this, a variety of infinitive endings is added that conform with the subject pronoun as well as the tense of the sentence. For instance, "I try" is " j'essaie " or " j'essaye ." Similarly, there are two options for "we will try": " nous essaierons " or " nous essayerons ."
All this leaves you with many words to memorize. The good news is that there are many opportunities to practice it and use essayer as you "try" things throughout your day.
| Subject | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| j' | essaie essaye | essaierai essayerai | essayais |
| tu | essaies essayes | essaieras essayeras | essayais |
| il | essaie essaye | essaiera essayera | essayait |
| nous | essayons | essaierons essayerons | essayions |
| vous | essayez | essaierez essayerez | essayiez |
| ils | essaient essayent | essaieront essayeront | essayaient |
The Present Participle of Essayer
The present participle of essayer is essayant . This is as simple as adding - ant to the verb stem. Not only does it work as a verb, but it can also become an adjective, gerund, or noun when needed.
The Past Participle and Passé Composé
The past participle essayé is used to form the passé composé , a common past tense form of "tried" in French. To use this, you'll also need to conjugate the auxiliary verb avoir . For example, "I tried" is " j'ai essayé " and "we tried" is " nous avons essayé ."
More Simple Essayer Conjugations to Know
When the action of trying is in some way questionable, you can turn to the subjunctive verb mood . Similarly, if it's dependent on something, the conditional verb mood is used.
With less frequency, you will come across the passé simple or the imperfect subjunctive . These are mostly found in formal writing and will help considerably with reading comprehension.
| Subject | Subjunctive | Conditional | Passé Simple | Imperfect Subjunctive |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| j' | essaie essaye | essaierais essayerais | essayai | essayasse |
| tu | essaies essayes | essaierais essayerais | essayas | essayasses |
| il | essaie essaye | essaierait essayerait | essaya | essayât |
| nous | essayions | essaierions essayerions | essayâmes | essayassions |
| vous | essayiez | essaieriez essayeriez | essayâtes | essayassiez |
| ils | essaient essayent | essaieraient essayeraient | essayèrent | essayassent |
To use essayer in commands or direct requests, turn to the imperative verb form . When using this, the subject pronoun is not required: use " essaie " instead of " tu essaie ."

|---|---|
| (tu) | essaie essaye |

Essayer – To try
By: Author David Issokson
Posted on Published: January 7, 2024 - Last updated: June 16, 2024
In today’s lesson we’ll have a look at the verb essayer , which means “to try”. For example, j’essaie d’apprendre le français (I try to learn French). Let’s jump right into the lesson!
Essayer – To try
Word origin.
The French verb essayer is related to the noun essai (try, attempt), which comes from the Latin verb exigere (to judge, examine, weigh) and noun exagium (weight, balance).
Present tense conjugation
Essayer is a regular ER verb. This means that its endings are the same as all other French regular ER verbs when conjugated in the present tense. Essayer has two accepted spelling patterns in the present tense. The pronunciations are the exact same.
J’essaie I try Tu essaies You try (singular, informal) Il, elle essaie He, she tries Nous essayons We try Vous essayez You try (plural, formal) Ils, elles essaient They try
J’essaye I try Tu essayes You try (singular, informal) Il, elle essaye He, she tries Nous essayons We try Vous essayez You try (plural, formal) Ils, elles essayent They try
Example sentences
In our first example sentence, essayer is simply “to try”. This example uses the word jamais (never), which we cover in our French negations lesson. This sentence is in the futur simple , a commonly used French future tense .
Si tu n’essaies pas , tu ne réussiras jamais .
If you don’ try, you’ll never succeed.
Essayer de + infinitive
In these two example sentences , essayer de + infinitive means “to try to do something”.
J’essaie de chanter la chanson mais c’est très difficile.
I try to sing the song but it’s very difficult.
Je vais essayer de terminer mon projet avant demain .
I’ll try to finish my project before tomorrow
Essayer + noun
In the next two examples, essayer is followed by a noun , meaning “to try something”. Essayer can also translate to “to test”. Hence, “I test the skis ” could also work as a translation for this next sentence.
The les in this example sentence is a direct object pronoun, meaning “them”. This post on our site covers object pronouns in depth.
J’essaie les nouveaux skis avant de les acheter .
I try the new skies before buying them.
Nous allons essayer le nouveau restaurant ce soir.
We are going to try the new restaurant tonight.
In French, the noun essai transaltes to “try” or “attempt” and is the origin of the English word “essay”.
Il a réussi son examen au troisième essai.
He passed the exam after the third try.
Et voilà ! You now know how to use essayer in French! Now check out our other lessons covering the verbs quitter (to leave), bosser (to work hard) and ranger (to tidy, put away).

Understanding Essayer Conjugation in FrenchConjugating the French verb essayer translates to attempting or trying in English. It's an essential verb that you’ll often encounter. Getting familiar with its conjugation can significantly enhance your French learning journey. The basics of Essayer Verb ConjugationEssayer is a regular -er verb but with a slight twist. When conjugated, the 'y' changes to an 'i' in the singular and the third person plural forms, although this change doesn’t apply to all tenses. This variation is a key aspect to remember about essayer conjugation. Remember, the spelling change from 'y' to 'i' before a silent 'e' helps with the pronunciation. How to Conjugate Essayer in the Present TenseConjugating essayer in the present tense involves a straightforward pattern similar to that of other regular -er verbs, with the noted exception of the 'y' to 'i' change in certain forms. Here’s how you conjugate essayer in the present tense:
Note that both 'j'essaie' and 'j'essaye' are acceptable forms of the first person singular in the present tense, reflecting the spelling variation mentioned earlier. Mastering Essayer Conjugation: The Past TenseTo form the past tense, also known as the passé composé , of essayer , you need the helping verb 'avoir' and the past participle 'essayé'. The structure is similar to many other French verbs. The conjugation in the passé composé depends on the subject pronoun:
The past participle essayé maintains its spelling across all subject pronouns in the passé composé, which simplifies its usage. The auxiliary verb 'avoir' is conjugated according to the subject, making understanding of 'avoir' conjugation equally essential in mastering essayer in the past tense.

A detailed look at essayer conjugation across various moods and tenses can broaden your understanding and usage of this versatile verb.

The unique 'y' to 'i' switch in certain forms makes it slightly different from other regular -er verbs.Here is the conjugation of essayer in the present tense for quick reference: The forms 'j'essaie' and 'j'essaye' are both correct, demonstrating a flexible aspect of French spelling and pronunciation norms. Navigating Essayer Imparfait ConjugationThe imparfait , or imperfect tense, conveys ongoing actions or states of being in the past. It illuminates what was happening at a certain point without focusing on the beginning or end of the action. Conjugating essayer in the imparfait involves a standard set of endings added to the stem: Stem: essay-Here’s a quick guide to its conjugation:
The Subjunctive and Conditional Moods in Essayer ConjugationThe subjunctive and conditional moods of essayer explore possibilities, hypotheses, and situations dependent on conditions.For the subjunctive mood, expressing doubt, wish, or uncertainty, here are the forms:
The conditional mood deals with potential scenarios or actions that would happen under certain conditions. Here’s how to conjugate essayer in the conditional mood:
Understanding these moods requires recognizing the nuances in tone and meaning they bring to conversations or written text. The subjunctive often appears after expressions that start with 'il faut que' (it is necessary that), 'bien que' (although), or 'pour que' (so that), reflecting its use in expressing desires or hypothetical situations. Meanwhile, the conditional mood is frequently used in polite requests or in sentences that begin with 'si' (if), laying down a condition for the action to occur. Practising Conjugate Essayer Across TensesUnderstanding how to conjugate the French verb essayer across different tenses is integral to mastering its use. This versatility allows you to express actions in the present, past, future, and conditional states, making your French more fluent and nuanced. The Future and Perfect Tenses of Essayer Verb ConjugationConjugating essayer in the future and perfect tenses allows for expressing actions that will occur or have been completed. The future tense speaks about events that will happen, while the perfect tense, using the passé composé, talks about actions that were completed in the past. The future tense of essayer closely follows the regular -er verb conjugation pattern but with its unique twist in spelling.
For the perfect tense, combining the auxiliary verb avoir with the past participle essayé forms a compound tense that expresses actions completed in the past.
Regular vs Irregular Patterns in Essayer Conjugation FrenchThe verb essayer presents an interesting case of blending regular -er verb conjugation patterns with its own unique irregularities. Understanding these patterns is crucial to effectively using essayer in various contexts. A regular verb follows a predictable pattern of conjugations across different tenses and moods. In contrast, an irregular verb does not follow these standard conjugation patterns, making memorization necessary. With its unique 'y' to 'i' shift in certain forms and uses, essayer stands between the realms of regular and irregular verbs. In the present tense, for example, both 'j'essaie' and 'j'essaye' are acceptable, showcasing this flexibility. This mix of predictability and irregularity is what makes studying French both a challenge and a joy. Understanding when each form is appropriate comes with practice and exposure to the language in various scenarios. The choice between using the 'y' or changing it to 'i' in essayer conjugation often depends on pronunciation ease rather than a hard rule, especially in informal settings. In summary, mastering the conjugation of essayer requires understanding its regular patterns and the exceptions. Whether you’re expressing what you're trying or what you will try in the future, or what you have tried in the past, essayer is a verb that can add depth to your French repertoire.

 Verb conjugation of "essayer" in French
From essay + -er . essayer ( plural essayers )
Inherited from Middle French essayer , essaier , from Old French essaiier , essayer , essaier , from essay , essai ( “ attempt; assay; experiment ” ) + -er ( “ infinitive-forming suffix ” ) , from Late Latin exagium ( “ weight; weighing, testing on the balance ” ) , from Latin exigere + -ium , from ex- + agere , from Proto-Italic *agō , from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éǵeti .
