Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb chlorer
Introduction to the verb chlorer
The English translation of the French verb chlorer is “to chlorinate.” It is pronounced “klo-ray.”
The word chlorer comes from the Greek word “chloros,” meaning greenish-yellow, and the French suffix “-er,” which is commonly used to form verbs. It is most often used in everyday French to describe the process of adding chlorine to water or other substances to disinfect or sanitize them.
In the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the literary equivalent of the past perfect tense, chlorer is used to express an action that was completed before another past action. It is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the passé simple tense, followed by the past participle of chlorer.
