Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb autoproclamer
Introduction to the verb autoproclamer
The English translation of the French verb autoproclamer is “to proclaim oneself.” It is pronounced as oh-toh-pro-clah-may.
The language origin of autoproclamer can be broken down into two parts: “auto,” which comes from the Greek prefix meaning “self,” and “proclamer,” which comes from the Latin word “proclamare” meaning “to cry out.” Together, they form a compound verb that means “to declare or assert oneself.”
In everyday French, autoproclamer is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the literary past tense used to describe a completed action that took place before another past action. It is equivalent to the English past perfect tense.
Examples:
-
J’avais autoproclamé mon innocence avant que les preuves ne soient présentées. (I had proclaimed my innocence before the evidence was presented.)
-
Elle s’était autoproclamée reine de la soirée avant même que la fête ne commence. (She had proclaimed herself queen of the party even before it began.)
-
Les manifestants s’étaient autoproclamés défenseurs des droits des travailleurs depuis le début de la grève. (The protesters had proclaimed themselves defenders of workers’ rights since the beginning of the strike.)
