The English translation of the French verb exiler is “to exile.” It is pronounced as “ehk-see-leh” in its infinitive form.

The word exiler comes from the Latin word “exilium,” meaning “banishment” or “exile.” It entered the French language in the 13th century. In everyday French, it is most often used to describe the act of forcing someone to leave their home country or to live in a foreign land as a form of punishment or as a result of political or social issues.

In the Futur Antérieur tense, exiler is used to describe an action that will have been completed in the future. Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:

  1. Je l’aurai exilé avant son prochain anniversaire. (I will have exiled him before his next birthday.)
  2. Le gouvernement aura exilé tous les opposants politiques d’ici la fin de l’année. (The government will have exiled all political opponents by the end of the year.)
  3. Les colons auront exilé les autochtones vers des terres plus arides. (The settlers will have exiled the indigenous people to more arid lands.)

Note: In these examples, the auxiliary verb “avoir” is used before the past participle “exilé” to form the Futur Antérieur tense.

In all of these examples, the English translation remains the same: “to have exiled.” This tense is often used to talk about events or actions that will happen in the future and will be completed before another specific event or time in the future.

Exiler – About the French Futur Antérieur (Future Anterior) Tense

The French futur antérieur tense is a compound tense used to express actions or events that will have occurred in the future before another action takes place. It is formed by using the future tense of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” (depending on the main verb) followed by the past participle of the main verb.
NOTE: To take a deep dive into all the French tenses then see my article on Mastering French Tense Conjugation.

Construction

1. For most verbs, use “avoir” as the auxiliary verb:
   – Subject + future tense of “avoir” + past participle
Example with the verb “manger” (to eat):
– J’aurai mangé (I will have eaten)
– Tu auras mangé (You will have eaten)
– Il/elle/on aura mangé (He/She/One will have eaten)
– Nous aurons mangé (We will have eaten)
– Vous aurez mangé (You will have eaten)
– Ils/elles auront mangé (They will have eaten)
2. For a select group of verbs, use “être” as the auxiliary verb. These are typically verbs of motion or state-changing verbs (e.g., aller, venir, naître, mourir, partir, etc.). The formation is the same, but the auxiliary verb is “être.”
Example with the verb “partir” (to leave):
– Je serai parti(e) (I will have left)
– Tu seras parti(e) (You will have left)
– Il/elle/on sera parti(e) (He/She/One will have left)
– Nous serons parti(e)s (We will have left)
– Vous serez parti(e)(s) (You will have left)
– Ils/elles seront parti(e)s (They will have left)

Common Everyday Usage Patterns

1. The futur antérieur is used to express an action that will be completed before a specific point in the future. For example:
   – Je partirai dès que j’aurai fini mon travail. (I will leave as soon as I have finished my work.)
   – Ils seront rentrés avant que la pluie commence. (They will have returned before the rain starts.)
2. It is often used with time expressions that indicate when the action will occur relative to another future action, such as “dès que” (as soon as), “avant que” (before), “une fois que” (once), etc.

Interactions with Other Tenses

– The futur antérieur tense is commonly used in combination with the future simple (futur simple) and other tenses to indicate the sequence of actions in the future. The futur antérieur typically refers to the action that will have been completed before another action takes place.

For example

– Quand tu auras terminé ton devoir, tu pourras sortir. (When you have finished your homework, you can go out.)
– J’irai te voir après que tu seras rentré. (I will visit you after you have returned.)

Summary

The futur antérieur tense is used to express completed actions in the future that will occur before another specified future action or event. It’s a crucial tense for describing the chronological order of events in French.
