Introduction to the verb enclencher
The English translation of the French verb enclencher is “to engage/to put into gear.” It is pronounced as “ahn-clahn-shay.”

In everyday French, enclencher is most often used in the Futur Antérieur tense, which is a compound tense that describes an action that will have been completed in the future before another action takes place. It is formed by using the future tense of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” and the past participle of the main verb.
