Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb cherrer
Introduction to the verb cherrer
The English translation of the French verb cherrer is “to scrape.” It is pronounced “shuh-ray.”
The origin of cherrer can be traced back to the Latin word “scabrum” meaning rough or scaly. It entered the French language in the 12th century and has evolved over time to its current form.
In everyday French, cherrer is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is used to describe actions that occurred before a specific point in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the passé simple tense followed by the past participle of the verb.
Here are three simple examples of cherrer in the Passé Antérieur tense:
- J’eus cherré ma peau sur le mur. (I had scraped my skin on the wall.)
- Tu eus cherré ta voiture contre le poteau. (You had scraped your car against the pole.)
- Ils eurent cherré tous les vieux papiers. (They had scraped all the old papers.)
In all of these examples, cherrer is used to describe an action that happened before a specific point in the past. It emphasizes the completion of the action. In English, we would use the past perfect tense to convey the same meaning.
