Futur Antérieur (Future Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb enfoncer
Introduction to the verb enfoncer
The English translation of the French verb enfoncer is “to sink in” or “to push in.” The infinitive form is pronounced “ahn-fon-say.”
Enfoncer comes from the Latin root “fundere,” meaning “to pour.” It entered the French language in the 12th century and originally meant “to prick” or “to pierce.” Over time, it evolved to have the more general meaning of “to sink in” or “to push in,” which is its most common usage today.
Enfoncer is often used in the Futur Antérieur tense, which is formed by using the future tense of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être,” followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this tense, enfoncer means “to have sunk in” or “to have pushed in.”
Examples:
- Quand tu auras fini de jouer, tu auras enfoncé toutes les balles dans le panier. (When you finish playing, you will have sunk in all the balls in the basket.)
