What the analysis shows
Every part of the sentence
Subject, verb, direct and indirect objects and complements, each named with its role in the sentence.
Verb forms explained
Tense and mood for every verb (and, in compound tenses, the auxiliary avoir or être), including the passé composé, the imparfait and the subjunctive.
Agreement made clear
Gender and number agreement of articles, adjectives and past participles, and why each ending is there.
Long sentences split into clauses
Relative clauses (qui, que, dont), clauses introduced by a conjunction (quand, parce que, que) and main clauses are separated and analyzed one at a time.
Example analysis
This is the kind of result you get. Each part of the sentence is named, then broken down into its words and forms, and what they do.
Structure: time adverbial + subject + verb (passé composé) + place complement + complement of accompaniment
- Hier: adverb of time, "yesterday". It opens the sentence, here followed by a comma.
- je: subject pronoun, first person singular.
- suis allé: the verb aller in the passé composé
- suis: the auxiliary être in the present. Aller belongs to a small group of intransitive verbs (mostly of movement or change of state, such as venir, partir, arriver, naître) that take être, not avoir.
- allé: past participle. With être it agrees with the subject: a woman writes allée.
- au cinéma: place complement, where to
- au: contracted article (à + le) + cinéma (masculine noun)
- avec mes amis: complement of accompaniment, who with
- avec (preposition) + mes (possessive, plural) + amis (masculine plural noun)
Meaning: "Yesterday I went to the cinema with my friends."
How it works
- Paste one French sentence (up to 600 characters) and press Analyze sentence.
- An AI model, given a fixed analysis format, splits the sentence into its parts and explains each word form.
- The analysis appears as it is written. Copy it, or analyze the next sentence.
The analysis is AI-generated. It is reliable for standard written French, but can be wrong on slang, typos or unusual word order. Check anything important with a teacher or the CNRTL dictionary (TLFi).
