Passé Simple (Simple Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb blesser
Introduction to the verb blesser
The English translation of the French verb “blesser” is “to hurt” or “to injure.” The infinitive form “blesser” is pronounced as “bleh-say.”
The word “blesser” derives from the Latin word “blessare,” meaning “to wound” or “to hurt.” It is commonly used in everyday French in the Passé Simple (Simple Past) tense, although this tense is mostly used in written or formal language rather than in spoken French.

- Il blessa son frère en jouant au foot. (He hurt his brother while playing soccer.)
