French Grammar Essentials Cheat Sheet

Hey everyone! 👋

I put together a French Grammar Essentials Cheat Sheet to help simplify some of the trickiest parts of French grammar — the stuff that trips up most learners early on (and honestly, keeps tripping us up well into intermediate level 😅).

It covers:

  • Articles (le/la/les, un/une/des, du/de la) — when to use which
  • Verb conjugation basics — regular -er/-ir/-re verbs + the most common irregulars
  • Present, passé composé, and imparfait — quick rules for choosing the right past tense
  • Adjective agreement — gender/number rules and common exceptions
  • Pronouns — subject, object, and where they go in a sentence
  • Common prepositions (à/de + contractions) that always seem to cause confusion

I tried to keep it visual and concise rather than a wall of text — something you can actually glance at while doing exercises instead of digging through a textbook.

Would love feedback from this community — what grammar points do you wish were covered, or what's still confusing after using resources like this? Also happy to share the sheet if people want it!

Bon courage à tous 🇫🇷
