Introduction to the verb actualiser
The English translation of the French verb actualiser is “to update” or “to bring up to date.” The infinitive form of actualiser is pronounced as “ak-tu-a-li-zay.”
The word “actualiser” comes from the Latin word “actualis” meaning “active” or “current.” It is derived from the noun “actus,” meaning “action.” In French, actualiser is most commonly used in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense, which is a subjunctive tense used to express a hypothetical or uncertain action in the past.

In each of these examples, the verb actualiser is used in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense to express a past action that may or may not have been completed. The English translations convey this uncertainty by using words like “needed,” “wanted,” and “would have.”
