Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb caquer
Introduction to the verb caquer
The English translation of the French verb caquer is “to cackle” or “to squawk”. The infinitive form is pronounced as “ka-keh”.
The language origin of caquer is from the Old French word “caker” which means to defecate. It evolved from the Latin word “cacare” with the same meaning. In modern French, caquer is most often used in casual speech to describe loud and unpleasant sounds, especially those made by birds.
In the Passé Antérieur tense, caquer is used to describe 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 and adding the past participle of caquer (caqué).
Examples:
- Il eut caqué si fort que tout le quartier s’est réveillé. (He cackled so loudly that the whole neighborhood woke up.)
- Quand elle fut partie, les oiseaux ont caqué encore plus fort. (When she left, the birds cackled even louder.)
- Les enfants furent si bruyants que les poules ont caqué sans arrêt. (The children were so loud that the hens cackled non-stop.)
