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.
5. Using the wrong auxiliary in the passé composé
✗ Wrong: “Je suis analysé le projet hier.”
✓ Right: “J'ai analysé le projet hier.”
analyser takes avoir in the compound tenses, not être: ai analysé, never the être form.
6. Using the indicative after a subjunctive trigger
✗ Wrong: “Il est important que nous analysons le projet.”
✓ Right: “Il est important que nous analysions le projet.”
After il est important que French needs the subjunctive, so use analysions here, not the indicative analysons.
