By: Author David Issokson
Posted on Published: January 7, 2024 - Last updated: January 22, 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 Meaning & Translation
Word origin.
According to Wiktionary.org , 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 .
Si tu n’essaies pas, tu ne réussiras jamais.
If you don’ try, you’ll never succeed.
Essayer de + infinitive
In these two example sentnces, 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) .

French Verb Conjugation Using "Essayer" (to Try)

- Pronunciation & Conversation
- Resources For Teachers
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.
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.
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 ."

Understanding the Basics of Essayer Conjugation in French
The French verb "essayer," meaning 'to try,' is a regular -er verb with a particularity: in the singular and third person plural forms of certain tenses, the 'y' may change to an 'i'. This change, which affects both pronunciation and spelling, is optional, allowing for two possible spellings—for example, 'j'essaie' or 'j'essaye' in the present tense. The alternation of 'y' to 'i' before a silent 'e' is a phonetic adaptation that facilitates pronunciation, a feature not uncommon in the French language.
Present Tense Conjugation of Essayer
The present tense conjugation of "essayer" is similar to that of other regular -er verbs, but with the optional 'y' to 'i' change in some forms. The full conjugation is 'j'essaie/essaye', 'tu essaies', 'il/elle/on essaie', 'nous essayons', 'vous essayez', 'ils/elles essaient/essayent'. This tense is used to describe actions or states occurring at the moment of speaking and is essential in everyday French communication. The dual spelling in the first person singular highlights the intricacies of French orthographic conventions.
Past Tense Mastery with Essayer
The passé composé is used to convey completed actions in the past with "essayer," utilizing the auxiliary verb 'avoir' and the past participle 'essayé'. The conjugation is straightforward: 'j'ai essayé', 'tu as essayé', 'il/elle/on a essayé', 'nous avons essayé', 'vous avez essayé', 'ils/elles ont essayé'. The past participle does not change, regardless of the subject pronoun, which simplifies its application. Proficiency in conjugating 'avoir' is essential for using the passé composé with "essayer."
Exploring the Imperfect and Conditional Forms of Essayer
The imperfect tense, or imparfait, describes past actions that were ongoing or habitual, such as 'j'essayais' or 'nous essayions'. It sets the scene for past narratives without focusing on the completion of the action. The subjunctive mood, expressing doubt, desire, or uncertainty, includes forms like 'que j'essaie' and 'que vous essayiez'. The conditional mood, used for hypothetical scenarios, is conjugated as 'j'essayerais' or 'vous essayeriez'. These moods enrich the language, allowing for a more nuanced expression of emotions and hypotheticals.
Future and Perfect Tenses in Essayer Conjugation
The future tense of "essayer" is formed by adding the appropriate endings to the infinitive, resulting in 'j'essaierai', 'tu essaieras', 'il/elle/on essaiera', 'nous essaierons', 'vous essaierez', 'ils/elles essaieront'. This tense discusses future events. The plus-que-parfait, a form of the perfect tense, is constructed with the imperfect tense of 'avoir' and the past participle 'essayé', used for actions that had been completed before another past action, as in 'j'avais essayé'.
Regular vs. Irregular Patterns in Essayer Conjugation
"Essayer" combines regular -er verb conjugation patterns with its own distinctive variations. While it generally adheres to predictable conjugation patterns, the optional 'y' to 'i' shift in certain forms and the dual spelling in the first person singular present tense are notable deviations. These peculiarities necessitate careful study and practice. "Essayer" thus straddles the line between regular and irregular verbs, adding to the complexity and richness of the French language.
Avoiding Common Mistakes and Tips for Conjugating Essayer
Common errors in conjugating "essayer" include incorrect application of the 'y' to 'i' change, overlooking the double 's' in the 'nous' form in the present tense, and misusing the auxiliary verb in compound tenses. To prevent these mistakes, students should verify spelling, particularly for the 'y' to 'i' shift and the presence of double 's'. Employing mnemonic devices, practicing with contextual sentences, and using varied learning materials can solidify the correct conjugation patterns. Recognizing that the 'y' to 'i' change occurs for ease of pronunciation, typically before a silent 'e', can also help in memorizing the correct forms.
