Analyser in context

J'analyse le projet tous les jours. Tu analyses le projet à la maison. Il analyse le projet ce matin. Nous analysons le projet avec Paul. C’est une partie normale de la routine, et c’est pour cela que le présent de analyser est la première forme qu’il convient d’apprendre. Chaque phrase utilise une personne différente, alors lisez-les à voix haute et remarquez comment la forme change — analyse, analyses, analyse, analysons — tandis que le sens reste le même : to analyse. J'ai analysé le projet hier. Tu as analysé le projet la semaine dernière. Il a analysé le projet ce matin. Nous avons analysé le projet avant la fête. C’était une journée normale, mais c’est justement dans des journées comme celle-ci que le passé composé de analyser apparaît sans cesse : une action terminée, un moment précis, et l’histoire continue. Comparez ces phrases avec celles du présent ci-dessus : le verbe change de temps, mais le sens de base — to analyse — ne change pas. C’est la différence entre une habitude et un événement terminé.

Common mistakes

1. Using the infinitive instead of a conjugated form

✗ Wrong: “Je analyser le projet.”

✓ Right: “J'analyse le projet tous les jours.”

The infinitive analyser never takes a subject. After je you need the conjugated present form analyse.

2. Using the wrong person

✗ Wrong: “Je analyses le projet.”

✓ Right: “J'analyse le projet tous les jours.”

analyses is the tu form, not the je form. The je form is analyse — check the person before you write the form.

3. Using the present for a finished past action

✗ Wrong: “J'analyse le projet hier.”

✓ Right: “J'ai analysé le projet hier.”

Hier points to the past, so use the present perfect ai analysé here, not the present analyse.

4. Mixing up the stem in the stressed forms

✗ Wrong: “Je analysons le projet.”

✓ Right: “J'analyse le projet tous les jours.”

analysons is the nous form. The je form is analyse — the two persons never share a form in the present of analyser.
