Introduction to the verb clouter
The English translation of the French verb clouter is “to nail” or “to hammer in.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “kloo-tay.”

In everyday French, clouter is most often used in the Futur Proche tense, which is the near future tense. This tense is formed by using the present tense of the verb “aller” (to go) followed by the infinitive form of the main verb, in this case “clouter.”
