How many tenses are there in french?

Answer:

le présent
l'imparfait
le
passé composé ( le passé surcomposé as well)
le plus-que-parfait
le
passé simple
le
passé antérieur
le pass
é récent
le futur simple
le futur proche
le futur
antérieur

This makes 10 in total, but sometimes
Futur dans le passé is considered tense too. This is the so calle Le conditionnel, which is a mood rather than a tense.

The aforesaid tenses are in the indicative mood (l'indifcatif). The French moods are:

l'indicatif
l'imp
ératif
le conditionnel
le subjonctif
