The present tense
At A1, « résoudre » in the present tense is your foundation — you’ll reach for it in almost every sentence you ever say. Here’s how a teacher would have you learn it: don’t memorise a table, build a reflex. Work through the forms below, then the step-by-step method, then say the pronunciation drills out loud — twice. By the end of this page, « je » and « nous » forms should come out of your mouth without thinking.
Concretely, this tense covers three jobs in English: I see, I am seeing and I do see are all the same single French form. One form, three meanings — that’s a gift, take it.

👨🏫 How the present tense works — step by step
Say the singular forms out loud until they’re automatic: je résous, tu résous, il/elle résout. In writing the endings differ, but that’s the pattern your mouth needs first.
The nous and vous forms are your anchors — they almost never surprise you: nous résolvons (-ons) and vous résolvez (-ez).
⚠️ This verb changes its stem: résou- in the singular, but résolv- with nous/vous. Learn the two stems as a pair.
⚠️ Classic mistake: the final -ent of « ils résolvent » is completely silent. Reading it aloud is the #1 beginner giveaway.
🧠 Memory hook: record yourself saying all six forms once a day for a week — the present tense of « résoudre » must cost you zero effort before you move to A2.
🗣️ Pronunciation — listen & repeat (Présent)
Tap 🔊 to hear each form in a native voice, then say it aloud — most French verb endings are silent, so « résoudre » forms often sound alike.
