Futur Antérieur (Future Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb draguer
Introduction to the verb draguer
The English translation of the French verb draguer is “to flirt” or “to hit on”. It is pronounced as “dra-gu-ay”.
The word draguer comes from the French noun drague, which means “dredge” or “drag”. It originally referred to the act of dredging a river or waterway, but in the 19th century, it began to be used figuratively in the sense of “to fish” or “to hunt” for a romantic partner. In the 20th century, the meaning evolved to specifically refer to the act of flirting or trying to pick up someone.
In everyday French, draguer is most often used in the Futur Antérieur tense to express a future action that will be completed before another future action. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb avoir or être in the future tense followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Example 1: Je serai déjà allé(e) draguer cette fille avant que tu arrives. (I will have already gone to flirt with that girl before you arrive.)
Example 2: Nous aurons fini de draguer avant que la soirée ne commence. (We will have finished flirting before the party starts.)
Example 3: Vous serez déjà rentré(e)(s) quand j’aurai fini de draguer toutes ces personnes. (You will have already gone home when I finish hitting on all these people.)
English translations:
- I will have already gone to flirt with that girl before you arrive.
