Introduction to the verb catéchiser
The English translation of the French verb catéchiser is “to catechize” or “to teach the principles of the Christian religion.” It is pronounced as “ka-tay-shee-zay.”
The word catéchiser comes from the Greek word “katechein,” which means “to teach orally.” It entered the French language in the 12th century and was associated with religious teaching and instruction. In modern times, it is still primarily used in a religious context, but can also refer to any type of thorough instruction or teaching.
In everyday French, the Subjonctif Passé tense is used to express an action that has not yet happened, but is desired, wished for, or doubted. It is formed by using the present subjunctive of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être,” followed by the past participle of the main verb.
