The best apps and sites for French grammar in 2026

By the SparkAI Language Learning team

French grammar is where most apps run out of road: genders, past tenses, pronouns and the subjunctive need explaining, not just drilling.

These are the tools that explain French grammar properly. We make SparkAI, and we've said where the others do something we don't.

Questions

What is the best way to learn French grammar?

Learn one point at a time with a clear explanation, practise it straight away, and review it later. Seeing the rule when you make a mistake is what makes it stick.

Is Duolingo good for French grammar?

Duolingo teaches grammar mostly by example, with short notes. Many learners add a grammar-focused tool once they reach A2–B1, where the subjunctive, past tenses and pronouns need proper explanation.

Where can I practise French verb conjugation for free?

Our free verb drills cover every main tense of the 162 most common verbs, and each verb has a full conjugation table.
