Futur Antérieur (Future Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb attacher
Introduction to the verb attacher
The English translation of the French verb attacher is “to attach” or “to fasten.” It is pronounced ah-ta-shay.
Attacher comes from the Old French word “atachier,” which is derived from the Latin “tangere,” meaning “to touch.” It is most often used as a reflexive verb, meaning that the subject performs the action on themselves.
In every day French, attacher is commonly used in the Futur Antérieur tense to talk about actions that will have been completed in the future before another action takes place. Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:
- Je me serai attaché les cheveux avant de sortir. (I will have tied my hair before going out.)
- Nous nous serons attachés à terminer le projet avant la fin de la semaine. (We will have made an effort to finish the project before the end of the week.)
- Ils se seront attachés à améliorer leurs compétences linguistiques avant de voyager. (They will have focused on improving their language skills before traveling.)
In these examples, the action of attaching, or tying, is completed before the future action takes place. The use of the Futur Antérieur tense emphasizes the completion of the action before the other one.
In summary, attacher is a reflexive verb commonly used in the Futur Antérieur tense to talk about completed actions in the future. Its origin can be traced back to Latin and it is most often used in everyday French to talk about actions that are done to oneself.
