Hugo’s Grammar Desk
Every grammar question learners ask, from Just Landed (A1) to Wordsmith (C2), answered and checked by Victor, with a mistake to avoid, a memory trick and a quick check. Plus Hugo’s tools: check a sentence, conjugate any verb, make adjectives agree and place the pronouns. Everything here works offline.
Ask Hugo
In English or in French, the way you’d ask a teacher. Typos are fine. You can also paste a French sentence and Hugo checks it.

The mistake detective
Type or paste French. Hugo checks it against the traps learners fall into most often (être or avoir, agreement, elision, si + conditional, the subjunctive, prepositions with countries…) and links each fix to its rule.
The detective knows about 70 common mistakes. It can’t judge style or word choice, so a sentence it passes may still be improved. For a full correction, ask Hugo in the chat.
Conjugator
Any French verb, regular or irregular, reflexive or not, in every tense. Type se lever for the reflexive form.
Adjective agreement
Type an adjective (any form) and, if you like, the noun it describes. Hugo gives all four forms and the rule behind them.
Where do the pronouns go?
Build a sentence and watch the pronouns line up: me, te, se, nous, vous → le, la, les → lui, leur → y → en. Change the tense or make it negative to see them move.
Answers follow standard French (Académie française, Le Robert, Bescherelle), with regional notes. Questions Hugo can’t answer yet go to Victor’s team, who add the answer here.
