Passé Simple (Simple Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb canoniser
Introduction to the verb canoniser
The English translation of the French verb “canoniser” is “to canonize.” The infinitive form “canoniser” is pronounced as [ka-nɔ-ni-ze].
The verb “canoniser” is derived from the Latin word “canonizare,” meaning “to canonize” or “to consecrate.” In everyday French, the verb “canoniser” is commonly used to refer to the act of officially declaring someone as a saint by the Catholic Church.
In the Passé Simple (Simple Past) tense, the verb “canoniser” is not frequently used in everyday French, as this tense is mainly used in formal or literary contexts. However, here are three simple examples of its usage:
- Le pape canonisa Jeanne d’Arc en 1920. (The Pope canonized Joan of Arc in 1920.)
- L’église canonisa plusieurs martyrs lors de la cérémonie. (The church canonized several martyrs during the ceremony.)
- Le saint père canonisa le fondateur de l’ordre religieux. (The Holy Father canonized the founder of the religious order.)
Note: These examples are in the Passé Simple tense, but in everyday spoken French, the Passé Composé tense (compound past) is more commonly used to talk about past events.
