Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb chloroformer
Introduction to the verb chloroformer
The English translation of the French verb chloroformer is “to chloroform.” It is pronounced as “kloh-roh-for-may.”
The word “chloroformer” comes from the French word “chloroforme,” which is a combination of the Greek words “chloros” meaning “green” and “forma” meaning “shape.” This is because chloroform is a colorless liquid with a distinct smell that was originally derived from the green pigment in seaweed.
In everyday French, chloroformer is most often used in the Passé Composé (Present Perfect) tense. This tense is used to talk about an action that has been completed in the past and has a direct impact on the present.
Example 1: J’ai chloroformé le tigre. (I chloroformed the tiger.) In this sentence, the speaker is stating that they have completed the action of chloroforming the tiger in the past and the result of this action (the tiger being sedated) is still relevant in the present.
Example 2: Il l’a chloroformé pour l’empêcher de crier. (He chloroformed her to prevent her from screaming.) In this sentence, the speaker is saying that someone has used chloroform to sedate someone else in the past, and this action had the purpose of preventing the person from screaming.
Example 3: Nous avons chloroformé les enfants avant de leur faire une injection. (We chloroformed the children before giving them an injection.) In this sentence, the speaker is stating that they have used chloroform to sedate the children before giving them an injection in the past.
In all of these examples, the Passé Composé tense is used to express completed actions in the past and their consequences in the present.
