Why make your own French tenses cards

Ready-made french tenses flashcards are a fine starting point, but a generic deck rarely lists the tenses your course actually uses or the verb examples from your chapter. Making your own cards from your notes keeps the study set aligned with your syllabus.

Upload a grammar handout, workbook page or slide deck in French
Get one card per tense or rule, with the example sentence on the back
Review on a spaced schedule so harder forms return more often
Export to Anki or CSV on Plus if you want to study on another app

Example French tenses flashcards

Passé composé: how is it formed with avoir?Present tense of avoir plus the past participle, for example j'ai mangé.

Imparfait: what is it used for?Ongoing or habitual past actions, descriptions and background, for example Il pleuvait.

Futur simple: what is the nous form of parler?nous parlerons, formed from the infinitive plus the -ons ending.

Passé composé or imparfait: Je lisais quand le téléphone a sonné?Imparfait for the ongoing background action (lisais), passé composé for the interrupting event (a sonné).

Conditionnel présent: how is it formed for regular verbs?Future stem plus imparfait endings (-ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient), for example je parlerais.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Flashcards come from your own grammar notes, textbook chapter or class slides, so the tenses match what your teacher covers.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back more often, so passé composé and imparfait stick instead of blurring together before a test.

Photos of pages work

Snap a page from a workbook and text recognition reads it, so you can turn printed French grammar into cards in minutes.

How it works

Upload your French material

Add a PDF, DOCX, slide deck, plain text notes or a photo of a tenses chart.

Generate your flashcards

DeckOwl creates question and answer cards covering the tenses in your material, such as formation and usage.

Study until they stick

Review in the browser on a spaced schedule. Plus users can export to Anki or CSV to keep studying elsewhere.

Start with the tenses your class is covering this week. Upload the handout or chart, then check that each card has one tense, one formation rule and one example sentence. Cards with a single clear rule are easier to recall than cards that try to cover three tenses at once.

Mix recognition and recall as you review. Read the front, say the conjugation aloud, then flip. When you miss a card, let spaced repetition bring it back sooner rather than cramming the whole deck the night before.

Frequently asked questions

How do I study French tenses effectively?

Learn one tense at a time and practice it in full sentences rather than isolated verb forms. Review cards on a spaced schedule so each tense is recalled several times over several days.

Which French tenses should I learn first?

Most courses start with present, passé composé and imparfait, then move to futur simple and conditionnel. Follow your syllabus order so your cards match what you are being tested on.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no credit card needed to start. Exports are included on Plus.

Can I export these flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. Plus ($39/year or $7.99/month) includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export along with unlimited generations.
