Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb gainer
Introduction to the verb gainer
The English translation of the French verb gainer is “to gain” or “to acquire.” The infinitive form of gainer is pronounced as “gheh-nay.”
Gainer comes from the Old French word “gaigner,” which means “to win” or “to earn.” It has its origin in the Latin word “gagnare,” which has the same meaning.
In everyday French, gainer is often used in the Subjonctif Présent tense to express a desire, a wish, or a possibility. It is often used after certain expressions such as “il faut que” (it is necessary that), “je veux que” (I want), or “il est possible que” (it is possible).
Examples:
- Il faut que je gagne plus d’argent pour pouvoir voyager. (I need to earn more money in order to travel.)
- Je veux que tu gagnes ce concours. (I want you to win this competition.)
- Il est possible que nous gagnions le match si on se concentre. (It is possible that we will win the game if we focus.)
In these examples, gainer is used to express a desire or a possibility, and it is conjugated in the Subjonctif Présent tense to indicate that it is a subjective action or possibility. The English translations also use the verb “to gain” or “to acquire” to convey the same meaning.
