Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb casquer
Introduction to the verb casquer
The English translation of the French verb casquer is “to pay” or “to shell out.” It is pronounced “kahs-keh” in its infinitive form.
The word casquer comes from the Old French word “casque” which means “helmet.” This is because in the past, soldiers had to pay for their own helmets, which was a significant expense. Over time, the verb evolved to refer to any type of payment or expense.
In everyday French, casquer is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the literary past tense that is used to describe actions that occurred before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the imperfect tense followed by the past participle of the verb.
Here are three examples of the usage of casquer in the Passé Antérieur tense:
-
J’ai casqué pour mes vacances de l’été dernier. (I paid for my vacation last summer.)
-
Elle a casqué le loyer pour le mois d’avril. (She paid the rent for the month of April.)
-
Nous avons casqué une fortune pour notre mariage. (We shelled out a fortune for our wedding.)
In each of these examples, casquer is used to express a past action that occurred before another past action. It is often used to describe expenses or payments, but it can also be used in a more general sense.
