Passé Simple (Simple Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb crémer
Introduction to the verb crémer
The English translation of the French verb “crémer” is “to cream”. The infinitive form “crémer” is pronounced as “kreh-may”.
The verb “crémer” is derived from the noun “crème” (cream) and belongs to the first group of regular -er verbs in French. In everyday French, the passé simple (simple past) tense is rarely used in spoken language, as it is commonly replaced by the passé composé (compound past tense). However, the passé simple is still used in formal writing, literature, and historical contexts.
Here are three examples of “crémer” in the passé simple tense with their respective English translations:
-
Hier soir, j’entrai dans la pâtisserie et je crémai les gâteaux pour les rendre plus savoureux.

(She creamed the coffee with a spoonful of fresh cream.) -
Les chefs pâtissiers crémèrent la crème pâtissière pour garnir le dessert.

Please note that the passé simple tense is more commonly used in writing, and the passé composé would be the preferred tense in spoken French.
