Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb carroyer
Introduction to the verb carroyer
The English translation of the French verb carroyer is “to checker” or “to grid.” It is pronounced as “ka-rrwa-yay.”
Carroyer comes from the French word “carreau,” meaning “square,” and the suffix “-ier,” which indicates the action of making squares. It is most often used in everyday French to describe the action of creating a pattern of squares on a surface, such as a fabric or a floor.
In the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the compound past tense, carroyer is used to describe an action that was completed before another action in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of carroyer.
