L’impératif Présent (Imperative Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb arroser
Introduction to the verb arroser
The English translation of the French verb arroser is “to water” or “to sprinkle.” The infinitive form of arroser is pronounced “a-ro-zay.”
Arroser comes from the Latin word “rorare,” meaning “to water.” It is most often used in everyday French in the L’impératif Présent tense, which is the imperative form used to give commands or orders.
Here are three simple examples of arroser in the L’impératif Présent tense:
- Arrose les plantes tous les jours. (Water the plants every day.)
- N’oublie pas d’arroser le jardin avant de partir. (Don’t forget to water the garden before leaving.)
- Arrosons le gâteau de chocolat. (Sprinkle the chocolate cake.)
In these examples, arroser is used to give a direct command or instruction, with the subject being either “tu” or “nous.” The verb stays in its base form without any conjugation in the L’impératif Présent tense.
Note: The verb arroser can also be used in a more figurative sense, meaning “to toast” or “to celebrate,” but this usage is less common in everyday French.
