Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb attiser
Introduction to the verb attiser
The English translation of the French verb attiser is “to stoke” or “to kindle.” The infinitive form is pronounced “a-tee-zay.”
The word attiser comes from the Old French word “atissier,” which means “to stir up” or “to excite.” It ultimately derives from the Latin word “ad-,” meaning “towards,” and “titiare,” meaning “to excite.”
In everyday French, attiser is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which expresses an action that occurred before another action in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the passé simple tense + the past participle of the verb.
Example 1: J’ai attisé le feu avant qu’il ne s’éteigne. (I stoked the fire before it went out.)
Example 2: Elle a attisé la colère de ses parents en leur mentant. (She stirred up her parents’ anger by lying to them.)
Example 3: Nous sommes attisés le désir de voyager avec des histoires de nos amis. (We kindled our desire to travel with stories from our friends.)
