Introduction to the verb changer
The English translation of the French verb changer is “to change.” It is pronounced [ʃɑ̃ʒe] in the infinitive form.
The word “changer” comes from the Latin word “cambiare,” meaning “to exchange” or “to barter.” In everyday French, it is a commonly used verb and can have various meanings depending on the context. In the Conditionnel Passé tense, it is used to express actions or events that could have happened in the past but did not.
