L’infinitif Présent (Infinitive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb choper
Introduction to the verb choper
The English translation of the French verb choper is “to catch” or “to grab.” It is pronounced as “shoh-pay” in the infinitive form.
The origin of the word choper can be traced back to the Latin word “capere” meaning “to seize or take hold of.” It was later adapted into the Old French word “choper” which carried the same meaning. In modern French, it is used in everyday language to indicate physically catching or grabbing something or someone.
Three examples of its usage in the L’infinitif Présent tense are:
- J’ai réussi à choper le bus avant qu’il ne parte. (I managed to catch the bus before it left.)
- Il a essayé de choper la balle mais il a raté. (He tried to catch the ball but he missed.)
- Je vais choper un bouquet de fleurs avant de rentrer à la maison. (I’m going to grab a bouquet of flowers before going home.)
In these examples, choper is used to indicate physically catching or grabbing something or someone. It can also be used in a more figurative sense, such as “choper un rhume” (to catch a cold) or “choper une opportunité” (to seize an opportunity).
