Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb remorquer
Introduction to the verb remorquer
The English translation of the French verb remorquer is “to tow.” The infinitive form, remorquer, is pronounced as “ruh-mohr-kay.”
The word remorquer comes from the Latin word “remorari,” which means “to delay.” It entered the French language in the 18th century and was initially used to describe the action of pulling a boat or a ship with a rope. Over time, it evolved to also mean towing a vehicle or any other object.
In everyday French, remorquer is most often used in the Subjonctif Présent tense as a command or request.
Examples:
- Il faut que tu nous remorques jusqu’au port. (You need to tow us to the port.)
- Je veux que tu remorques ma voiture jusqu’au garage. (I want you to tow my car to the garage.)
- Il est important que nous remorquions ce bateau avant la tempête. (It’s important that we tow this boat before the storm.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Présent tense is used to express a desired action or outcome. It is often used with phrases such as “il faut que” (it’s necessary that), “je veux que” (I want), or “il est important que” (it’s important that).
