Introduction to the verb adultérer
The English translation of the French verb adultérer is “to adulterate” or “to tamper with”. It is pronounced as “a-dul-te-rey” in its infinitive form.
The word adultérer comes from the Latin word adulterare, which means “to corrupt” or “to alter”. It first appeared in the French language in the 14th century.
In everyday French, adultérer is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the past tense used to describe an action that occurred before another action in the past. It is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb avoir or être in the Passé Simple tense and adding the past participle of the main verb, in this case adulterer.
