Introduction to the verb carburer
The English translation of the French verb carburer is “to carburet” or “to run on fuel.” It is pronounced as “car-byoo-ray.”
The word carburer comes from the French noun “carbure,” which means “fuel” or “gasoline,” and the suffix “-er,” which is commonly used to form verbs from nouns in French.
In everyday French, carburer is often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which is used to express doubt, desire, or emotion in the past. This tense is formed by using the subjunctive mood of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” followed by the past participle of the main verb.

- Il faut que j’aie carburé pour arriver à l’heure. (I had to run on fuel to arrive on time.)
- J’espère que tu aies bien carburé pour cette course. (I hope you ran well on fuel for this race.)
- Il faut que nous soyons arrivés à temps, sinon nous n’aurons pas assez carburé. (We have to have arrived on time, otherwise we won’t have run on enough fuel.)
In these examples, carburer is used to describe the action of running on fuel in the past, expressing doubt, desire, or emotion.
