Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb cabrer
Introduction to the verb cabrer
The English translation of the French verb cabrer is “to rear up.” The infinitive form, cabrer, is pronounced as “kah-bray.”
The origin of the word cabrer can be traced back to the Latin word “capreus,” meaning “goat.” It entered the French language in the 16th century and originally meant “to behave like a goat.” Over time, it evolved to refer specifically to a horse rearing up on its hind legs.
In everyday French, cabrer is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which is used to express a hypothetical or possible action in the past. It is formed by using the conditional form of the auxiliary verb avoir or être, followed by the past participle of the main verb.
