About

About French Bites

French Bites is a free web app for French verb conjugation practice. It focuses on five everyday tenses — not every mood in a grammar index — with the same colour in the matrix, quizzes, and scenario dialogues.

What is French Bites?

Search any verb and open a five-column conjugation grid — présent, passé composé, imparfait, futur simple, and conditionnel présent — each with example sentences and optional audio.

Example: open prendre and you see six persons × five colour-coded columns, example sentences beside each form, and a fill-in-the-blank quiz on the same verb — not a static PDF table.

These five tenses cover the vast majority of everyday French — depth beats breadth.

Who French Bites is for

• A1–B2 learners who forget conjugations mid-sentence — four vocabulary levels (Vol.1–4) ordered by frequency, not alphabet.
• Self-studiers who want depth on five core tenses before literary forms like passé simple or full subjonctif mastery.
• Travel and daily-life French — ordering coffee (Je voudrais un café), telling what happened yesterday (J'ai mangé au marché), or describing a habit (Je travaille le lundi).

Not designed for: pure literary French, C2 exam grammar breadth, or courses that require every mood in the grammar index on day one.

Features and how they work

Verb matrix — look up any verb

One sentence: Search a verb and open a five-column conjugation grid with example sentences and optional audio.

Example: Search aller → yellow présent column shows je vais, red passé composé shows je suis allé·e, tap a cell for Je vais à l'école à pied.

Quiz — spell it in context

One sentence: Pick a level and tense, then fill verb blanks inside real sentences — not isolated table cells.

Example: A1 · présent · manger → Je ____ une pomme. (answer: mange). Baguette-style sessions drill 10 verbs per round on Vol.1–4.

Scenarios — café, bakery, market dialogues

One sentence: Read short dialogues where highlighted verbs use the tenses you are practising.

Example: Scene Café au balcon — Je suis contente de te voir. Tu veux un café ? (présent in a real invitation).

Mistakes & Favorites — review what you miss

Mistakes: Verbs you get wrong in quiz enter a review pool — weighted by how often you miss them. Review sessions are Pro only; Free still records mistakes from quiz.

Who writes the guides

Learning guides on this site are written by the French Bites Team — product builders and French learners who design the app around real study pain points: too many tenses at once, grey conjugation tables, and endings that blur together. We align guide advice with what the app actually drills.
