Futur Antérieur (Future Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb donner
Introduction to the verb donner
The English translation of the French verb donner is “to give.” It is pronounced as “doh-nay” in the infinitive form.
The origin of donner can be traced back to the Latin word “donare” which means “to give as a gift.” This word then evolved into the Old French word “doner” and eventually became “donner” in Modern French.
In everyday French, donner is most often used in the Futur Antérieur tense to express an action that will have been completed in the future. This tense is formed by combining the future tense of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” with the past participle of the main verb.
Here are three examples of donner in the Futur Antérieur tense with their English translations:
- Je lui aurai donné mon livre avant qu’il ne parte. (I will have given him my book before he leaves.)
- Nous serons partis avant qu’elle ne nous ait donné les clés. (We will have left before she gives us the keys.)
