Introduction to the verb carrer
The English translation of the French verb carrer is “to square” or “to equalize.” It is pronounced as “ka-reh” in its infinitive form.
The word carrer comes from the Old French term “carre,” meaning “square.” It is often used in everyday French in the Passé Composé tense, which is the past tense in English. This tense is used to talk about actions that were completed in the past.
Three simple examples of carrer being used in the Passé Composé tense in everyday French are:
- J’ai carré la feuille de papier. (I squared the sheet of paper.)
- Ils ont carré leurs comptes. (They equalized their accounts.)
- Tu as carré le puzzle? (Did you square the puzzle?)
In all three examples, carrer is used as the main verb in the Passé Composé tense, indicating that the action was completed in the past. In English, the verb “to have” is used as an auxiliary verb before the past participle form of the main verb, while in French, the auxiliary verb “avoir” is used before the past participle form of carrer.
Overall, carrer is a versatile verb that can mean both “to square” and “to equalize” in English and is commonly used in everyday French in the Passé Composé tense to talk about completed actions in the past.
