Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb anesthésier
Introduction to the verb anesthésier
The English translation of the French verb anesthésier is “to anesthetize.” It is pronounced “ah-nehs-teh-zee-ay.”
The word anesthésier comes from the Greek prefix “ana-” meaning “up” or “again” and “aisthēsis” meaning “sensation.” In French, it is most often used in the medical context to refer to the process of administering anesthesia to a patient.
In the Passé Antérieur tense, anesthésier is used to talk about a specific event or action that occurred before another past event. It is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the passé simple tense and then adding the past participle of anesthésier, which is “anesthésié.”
Here are 3 simple examples of its usage in the Passé Antérieur tense:
- Les médecins l’avaient anesthésié avant de commencer l’opération. (The doctors had anesthetized him before starting the surgery.)
- Lorsque je me suis réveillé, j’ai réalisé qu’ils m’avaient anesthésié pour m’extraire une dent de sagesse. (When I woke up, I realized they had anesthetized me to remove a wisdom tooth.)
- Elle était très nerveuse avant l’opération, mais le médecin l’avait anesthésiée pour qu’elle ne ressente aucune douleur. (She was very nervous before the surgery, but the doctor had anesthetized her so she wouldn’t feel any pain.)
