Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb canoniser
Introduction to the verb canoniser
The English translation of the French verb canoniser is “to canonize.” It is pronounced as “kah-noh-nee-zay” in the infinitive form.
The word “canoniser” comes from the Latin word “canonizare,” meaning “to make into a canon.” In French, it is most often used in the context of religion and refers to the act of declaring someone a saint in the Catholic Church.
In everyday French, the Passé Antérieur tense is used to talk about a completed action that happened before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Imparfait tense followed by the past participle of the main verb.
